Explaining Structural Reliability

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In the realm of engineering, structural reliability is paramount, ensuring the integrity and safety of structures under various loads and environmental conditions. This comprehensive book delves into the intricacies of structural reliability, providing a practical tool for analyzing and assessing the reliability of structures.

Catering to undergraduate seniors and graduate students in structural engineering, this book assumes a fundamental understanding of structural engineering and mechanics. It adeptly introduces probability and statistics, reviewing essential concepts and techniques to equip readers with the necessary tools for reliability analysis.

The book covers a wide spectrum of topics, encompassing the fundamentals of structural reliability, diverse reliability analysis methods, and the evaluation of structural loads and actions. It also explores structural resistance and capacity, examining material properties, structural modeling, and limit states.

Furthermore, the book delves into the reliability assessment of structural systems, investigating system reliability analysis methods and addressing the reliability of redundant and deteriorating structures. It also examines the reliability of structures subjected to multiple hazards and uncertain parameters, providing valuable insights for assessing the reliability of existing structures.

Moving forward, the book discusses design for structural reliability, exploring reliability-based design concepts and methods. It introduces load and resistance factor design, limit states design, and performance-based design, empowering readers with the knowledge to design structures that meet stringent reliability requirements.

Finally, the book concludes with applications of structural reliability in various engineering disciplines, showcasing its practical significance. It examines the reliability of bridges, buildings, offshore structures, nuclear power plants, and wind turbines, providing real-world examples of how reliability analysis is applied in these fields.

State of Disaster - The Failure...

Maria Cristina Garcia

Natural disasters and the dire effects of climate change cause massive population displacements and lead to some of the most intractable political and humanitarian challenges seen today. Yet, as Maria Cristina Garcia observes in this critical history of U.S. policy on migration in the Global South, there is actually no such thing as a "climate refugee" under current U.S. law. Most initiatives intended to assist those who must migrate are flawed and ineffective from inception because they are derived from outmoded policies. In a world of climate change, U.S. refugee policy simply does not work. 
 
 
 
Garcia focuses on Central America and the Caribbean, where natural disasters have repeatedly worsened poverty, inequality, and domestic and international political tensions. She explains that the creation of better U.S. policy for those escaping disasters is severely limited by the 1980 Refugee Act, which continues to be applied almost exclusively for reasons of persecution directly related to politics, race, religion, and identity. Garcia contends that the United States must transform its outdated migration policies to address today's realities. Climate change and natural disasters are here to stay, and much of the human devastation left in their wake is essentially a policy choice.
