Reliability Updating of Sheet Pile Walls: An analysis on the parameter updating process

Throughout the years the requirements of sheet pile walls have changed. Therefore reassessment of these structure's reliability is of importance. In this thesis, Bayesian updating is used for the reliability updating task. Updating processes require measurements of the structure under known conditions. Although for practical and economical...

Updating land-use information on topographic maps using satellite imagery : combining the advantages of two accessible sources of geographic information

This paper examines the possibilities of using Landsat Thematic Mapper images for updating land-use information on topographic maps. Information obtained from satellite images can be kept up-todate and a large number of classes can be distinguished. However, the quality of the information still leaves much to be desired, with a reliability of no...
