Vulnerability, Uncertainty, and Risk

Quantification, Mitigation, and Management - Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Vulnerability and Risk Analysis and Management, ICVRAM 2014 and the 6th International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis, ISUMA 2014

authored by

Michael Beer, Siu-Kui Au, Jim Hall

Abstract

The proceedings contain 290 papers. The topics discussed include: natural hazards in a changing climate: impacts, adaptation and risk management; struggling with epistemic uncertainties in environmental modeling of natural hazards; vulnerability and risk analysis of critical infrastructures; robust simulation: why and when needed and what should be qualified; probabilistic parameters in the MR hyperbolic tangent damper model; risk-consistent design approach for designing innovative hazard-resistant structures; reliability-based optimization of updated dynamical systems; reliability and redundancy of two-girder, steel-concrete composite bridges under uncertainty; optimal performance-based design of non-linear stochastic dynamical systems; and adaptive implementation of importance sampling in optimization under uncertainty.
