Levee system reliability modeling

The length effect and Bayesian updating

In levee system reliability, the length effect is the term given to the phenomenon that the longer the levee, the higher the probability that it will have a weak spot and fail. Quantitatively, it is the ratio of the segment failure probability to the cross-sectional failure proba ...
In the CARE method [Nelisse 2012, Nelisse 2014] an open point remained: the group risk with ramps is, on some points in the fN curve, lower than the group risk without ramps. This is contradictory to our expectations. In this study is explored why the group risk with ramps can be ...
In the Dutch province of Groningen over the last year shallow earthquakes are induced due to large scale gas extraction from the gas field at 3 km depth. The induced earthquakes differ from the better known tectonic earthquakes all over the world, caused by movement of the earth ...
