"Time-Dependent Resilience of Repairable Structures Subjected to Nonsta" by Cao Wang and Bilal M. Ayyub
Civil structures and infrastructures are often subjected by design to the impacts of natural and human-caused hazardous events, and accordingly may suffer from damages, functionality loss, and failure. In order to quantitatively measure the associated likelihood and consequences for quantifying risks, an appropriate measure of structural reliability and resilience is essentially required. This paper presents an explicit measure for the time-dependent resilience of repairable structures as a natural extension of time-invariant and time-dependent structural reliability concepts, taking into acco...
