“…In other engineering fields (e.g. earthquake engineering, nuclear engineering) the so-called full probabilistic approach is applied in many cases 44,45 to consider the effect of different types of uncertainties during the calculation. This is accomplished via defining random variables whose standard deviation describe the variability of the considered parameter.…”

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) contribute to a high degree of mortality and morbidity in society. From engineering point of view, the human brain can be considered as a mechanical system which is subjected to extreme effects, since every type of TBIs are derived from the large magnitude of mechanical loads. Impact biomechanics deals with the prevention of injuries via the suitable design of safety systems. It requires the quantification of limit values of the mechanical effects that humans can tolerate. The goal of this paper is twofold. Firstly, it contains a brief literature review where some of the most important milestones and major conclusions of previous researches are mentioned. Secondly, it presents a proposal about the applicability of reliability analysis to assess the vulnerability of the human brain.

Containment threats during severe accidents may arise due to fuel coolant interactions, hydrogen combustion, molten core-concrete interactions, and long-term pressure and temperature loading. The objective of the paper is to bring out important issues in the assessment of containment integrity during severe accidents for PWR and PHWR. The issues are identified by extensive review and synthesis of information from literature on severe accident phenomena, severe accident analysis and containment integrity assessment.

“…Floor response spectra statistics were computed for the fixed-base and interaction conditions. In particular, the mean floor response spectra 1 and" the coefficients of variation of (CoV) of the floor response spectra ordinates have been computed. The mean and CoV floor response spectra at the top of the ccntainmeuc building are shown in Figs.…”

The probability-based method for the seismic reliability assessment. ^,. of nuclear structures, which has been developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL)U»2], is extended to include the effects of soII-structure Interaction. A reinforced concrete containment building is analyzed in order to examine soil-structure interaction effects on: (1) structural fragilities; (2) floor response spectra statistics; and (3) correlation coefficients for total acceleration responses at specified structural locations. *This work was performed under the auspices of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
