1. Train–Track–Bridge Interaction for the Analysis of Railway Bridges and Train Running Safety
Abstract : In this thesis, train–track–bridge interaction (TTBI) models are used to study the dynamic response of railway bridges. A TTBI model considers the dynamics of the train in addition to that of the track–bridge system. The TTBI model enables the assessment of train running safety and passenger comfort. READ MORE

2. Designing for Safe Maritime Navigation. Studying Control Processes for Bridge Teams
Abstract : Several technological advances have been seen the maritime domain to achieve higher operational efficiency and to address the generally recognised causes of most maritime accidents. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) endorses the use of best available technology to “drive continuous improvement and innovation in the facilitation of maritime traffic” in line with the goal of sustainable development.

3. Safety Analysis of Systems-of-Systems
Abstract : Safety-critical systems may fail dangerously with severe consequences to the health of the involved humans, costly equipment, the environment, or other valuable assets of a stakeholder. For these classes of systems, the developers are obliged to analyze each potentially hazardous situation thoroughly. READ MORE

4. Improving the Dynamic Design Philosophy of High-Speed Railway Bridges Using Reliability-Based Methods
Abstract : Modern railway infrastructures, especially bridges, are exposed to significant vibrations with potential safety implications. In this context, previous studies have shown the inconsistency and inadequacy of some conventional design methods necessitaing them to be improved. The assessment of safety inherently deals with uncertainties. READ MORE

5. Safety Evaluation of Concrete Structures with Nonlinear Analysis
Abstract : Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world. To obtain effective new constructions and to use existing concrete structures in an optimal way, accurate structural models are needed. READ MORE
