International Association for Structural Safety and Reliability

The International Association for Structural Safety and Reliability promotes the study, research, plus applications of scientific principles of safety, risk and reliability in the analysis, design, construction, maintenance and operations of structures and other engineering systems. This mission is accomplished primarily through the organization of the International Conference on Structural Safety and Reliability (ICOSSAR) at approximately four-year intervals. IASSAR also encourages a wide range of activities promoting the study and applications of scientific principles and concepts of safety, risk, and consistency in engineering and beyond. The Leader gathers scientists from different backgrounds, including civil and mechanical engineering, geophysics, applied mathematics and computer science in order to develop new computational methods in the field of indecision quantification with applications in structural reliability, global sensitivity analysis, model calibration and reliability-based design optimization. The Executive Board is the foremost body of the International Association for Operational Safety and Reliability. Members of the Board are limited to a maximum number of ten including the Head and Vice President. Banding (Italy) Adaptive Incremental Dynamic Analysis (AIDA) is a novel goverweight motion selection scheme that adaptively changes the ground motion suites at different ground motion intensity levels to competition hazard consistent belongings for structural response assessment. Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA), a current dynamic response history analysis practice in Performance-Based Trembling Engineering (PBEE), uses the same suite of ground motions at all Intensity Measure (IM) levels to estimate structural response. Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) disaggregation tells us, however, that the objective distributions of important ground motion properties change as the IM points change. To match hazard-consistent ground motion properties, ground motions can be re-selected at each IM level, but ground motion continuity is lost when using such “stripes” (i.e., individual analysis points at each IM level). Alternatively, the data from the same ground motions in IDA can be re- name of this Reminder shall be "The Asian Pacific Paediatric Association" (APPA).
