Optimal Strategies for Design, Inspection, and Repair of Fatigue-Sensitive Structural Systems Using Risk-Based Economics
The fatigue reliability and maintainability process for a marine structure (caisson platform) is studied. Reliability analysis, performed by Monte Carlo, quantifies the improvement in...

Damage Assessment Based on Repairability Criterion
This paper discusses the assessment of damage of protective structures based on the repairability criterion. The variables of the repairability are the amount of repair, repair cost, repair...

Reliability-Based Bridge Life Assessment
Fatigue considerations have usually entered design codes as a secondary consideration and often under the guise of serviceability limits. Most engineers felt if the maximum stress ranges...

Development of a Safety Assessment System for Steel Bridge Erection Work
In order to secure safe execution of steel bridge erection work, development of a comprehensive checking system to set up safety countermeasures at the stage of construction planning prior...

Design Method Satisfying Safety Requirements for Various Limit-States Based on Information Integration Method
This paper discusses the applicability of the information integration method to optimum design of structures and the advantages of the above optimum structural design method over other...

Space Station Freedom Requirements for Structural Safety, Reliability and Verification
The Space Station Freedom (SSF) is a large, manned vehicle that will be designed to remain in Space for 30 years. The SSF Program has established extensive safety, reliability and verification...

Incremental Assembly Stage Concepts for Space Station Freedom: Structural Design and Verification
The design and development of the U.S./International Space Station Freedom poses extreme technical and management challenges to the NASA/industry team. A comprehensive system engineering...

System and Utilization Study of Japanese Experiment Module for International Space Station
The paper briefly reviews the overall system study of Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) which consists of Pressurized Module, Exposed Facility and Small Remote Manipulator System (RMS)....

Reliability Consistent Load and Resistance Factors
A practical algorithm to find the partial safety factors consistent with target reliability in LRFD format is proposed. The method is based on Second Order Second Moment method and Reliability...

Safety Assessment of Welded Pipelines Undergoing Large Ground Deformation
Spatial distribution and modelling of liquefaction induced permanent large ground deformation are presented. The permanent large ground displacement patterns required for the safety assessment...

Anchorage Sewer Rehabilitation in Campbell Lake
This paper discusses the proposed rehabilitation/replacement of the Campbell Lake portion of the Campbell Creek C-5 Trunk Sewer (C-5 Trunk) located in Anchorage, Alaska. The original corrugated...

Structural Safety and Reliability
This proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Structural Safety and Reliability (ICOSSAR '89) held on August 7-11, 1989 in San Francisco, California contains almost...

Museum Showcases the Future
On May 4 in Philadelphia, the Franklin Institute's new wing, called the Futures Center, will open to the public. When the institute's neoclassic main buiding...

Role of Underground Testing to Determine Suitability of Yucca Mountain as a Potential Repository Site
A brief description of the Exploratory Shaft based site characterization testing program for the Department of Energy's (DOE) Yucca Mountain Project of the permanent disposal...

Approach to Developing a Ground-Motion Design Basis for Facilities Important to Safety at Yucca Mountain
The DOE has proposed a methodology for developing a ground-motion design basis for prospective facilities at Yucca Mountain that are important to safety. The methdology utilizes a quasi-deterministic...

Nuclear Fuel Waste Management in Canada?A Regulatory Perspective
This paper briefly identifies the process for development of a high-level radioactive waste repository in Canada, and the regulatory requirements and safety criteria which have been established...

International Safeguards Relevant to Geologic Disposal of High-Level Wastes and Spent Fuels
Spent fuels from once-through fuel cycles placed in underground repositories have the potential to become attractive targets for diversion and/or theft because of their valuable material...

Public Involvement: Keystone to Public Confidence in the Civilian Radioactive Waste Management Program
The barriers to public confidence in the safety of high level radioactive waste facilities can only be overcome by encouraging meaningful participation by the public in the decisionmaking...

Public Involvement in Radioactive Waste Decisions: What is Participation? What is Communication?
This paper examines differing interpretations of the concepts participation and communication and their implications for practice. The purpose is to reflect on some of the factors that...

Public Communication and Participation Activities in Siting Controversial Facilities in the United States and Western Europe: An Examination of Lessons Learned
The authors of this paper conducted a comprehensive review of literature discussing the siting of controversial facilities in the United States and Western Europe in order to identify...
