Probabilistic study of lifetime load effect distribution of bridges

Hajializadeh, Donya ; O'Brien, Eugene J. ; Enright, Bernard ; Caprani, Colin C. ; Sheils, Emma ; Wilson, Simon P. (2012-07-02)

Assessment of highway bridge safety requires a prediction of the probability of occurrence of extreme load effects during the remaining life of the structure. While the assessment of the strength of an existing bridge ...
The use of Bayesian Statistics to predict patterns of spatial repeatability

Wilson, Simon P. ; Harris, Niall K. ; O'Brien, Eugene J. (Elsevier, 2006-10)

Statistical spatial repeatability (SSR) is an extension to the well known concept of spatial repeatability. SSR states that the mean of many patterns of dynamic tyre force applied to a pavement surface is similar for a ...
