Hurricanes threaten the petroleum industry in United States and are expected to be influenced by climate change. This study presents an integrated framework for hurricane risk assessment of infrastructure under changing climatic conditions, calculating terms monetary loss. Variants two synthetic probabilistic storms one historical storm (Hurricane Ike) simulated using SWAN+ADCIRC model, representing a range potential scenarios impacts on forward speed sea-level rise given uncertainties...
Vertical concrete dry casks, used for interim storage of spent nuclear fuel, are susceptible to large horizontal displacements caused by lateral loads. This study explores the collision between adjacent casks in case such motions. To estimate an upper bound probability failure, a common scenario that causes severe structural damage is determined through comparative deterministic analysis. Then effects uncertain parameters on cask's performance specific studied with probabilistic approach....
The petroleum industry in the United States relies heavily on facilities hurricane-prone regions, such as Gulf Coast. Past hurricanes have demonstrated vulnerability of supply chains to these extreme events; however, models are lacking for hurricane performance assessment chain infrastructure. In this study, a probabilistic framework is presented oil infrastructure (OSCI) subjected events, spanning from methodological definition implementation opportunities and needs. leverages Bayesian...
This article investigates the effect of alkali–silica reaction (ASR) damage on structural performance reinforced concrete (RC) dry casks for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) storage. Dry have an initial licensed lifetime 20 or 40 years with possibility extension another years. Due to lack a permanent storage facility in United States, service life that are currently use and were designed shorter lives is critical step. Deterioration due ASR major concern as has been reported some facilities. In this...
