Effect of Risk Priority Number Values for Multiple Effects in Maintenance Optimization
Abstract: In this paper, authors describe an optimization framework for finding optimal maintenance policies in continuous process operations and analyze and quantify the reaction of different variables on optimal maintenance schedules. A necessary idea behind maintenance optimization is that of life-cycle costing, where the total cost of design, building, maintenance, is considered over the entire life span of the system or structure in question. The system’s effectiveness measure is introduced which …

Risk Management in Civil Engineering by FTA, FMEA and Risk Matrix
Abstract: Infrastructure projects, particularly in civil engineering, are fraught with uncertainties that manifest as both physical and financial risks. The project report, titled Quantifying and Managing Financial and Physical Risks in Infrastructure Projects, aims to bridge the existing gap between managing these two critical categories of risks. By integrating advanced statistical methodologies such as Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Risk Matrix, and Regression Analysis, this study …

Identifying and Mitigating Chemical Hazards Through Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Abstract: Chemical exposure represents a significant occupational health and safety concern in the chemical industry. Effectively addressing these hazards requires teamwork among various occupational health and safety experts, such as general OHS professionals, occupational hygienists, and occupational health practitioners. This research focuses on analyzing hazards and developing control measures for industrial chemicals, evaluating their toxicity, and using these assessments in regulatory decision making. It starts by addressing the availability of toxicological …

Investigation of Undesirable Event by Fault Tree Analysis - Study of domestic LPG Gas Leak
Abstract: Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a dependable and commonly used method for analyzing and identifying the combinations of failures, faults, or events that could result in a specified top event, which is typically a system failure or malfunction. FTA is widely used in risk assessment, reliability engineering, and system safety analysis, and it has proven to be an effective tool for determining the likelihood and consequences of potential system failures. …

Risk Assessment in Indian Construction Projects Using Modified Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process
Abstract: Construction projects are initiated in dynamic environment which creates circumstances of high uncertainty and risks due to accumulation of many interrelated parameters. So, the need for establishing a systematic risk assessment for construction projects has increased more than ever before with the additional fact that the construction projects are becoming increasingly complex and dynamic. The aim of this paper is to provide a risk assessment methodology that provides a decision …

Short Circuit Protection System for Electrical Vehicle (EV) Safety with GSM Module
Abstract: The safety of electric vehicles' (EVs') vital components against overheating has become a top priority for both manufacturers and users as EVs continue to grow in popularity worldwide. Important parts like batteries, power electronics, and charging systems run the risk of overheating, which can have a number of detrimental effects, including thermal runaway, which presents major safety risks like fires or explosions. Overheating can also lead to decreased efficiency, deteriorated …

Soil Erosion and Sediment Export in Berta Watershed Using GIS and USLE Model in Central Rift Valley Basin, Ethiopia: Implications for Sustainable Natural Resources Management
Abstract: Soil erosion and sedimentation of lake due to runoff is a major problem in Southern Ethiopia. Berta watershed is one of the watersheds in Rift valley Basin, contributing runoff to small Abaya (Tuffa) lake. However, no studies have been conducted on soil erosion and sediment yield from the entire watershed. Therefore, an updated Universal Soil Loss Model and Geographic Information System have been used to start the current study, which …

Determination of the Priority in Risks Management of Construction Projects
Abstract: Construction projects are faced to a state of uncertainty and an increase in the likelihood of multiple risk types, since that the achievement of these projects goes through several stages. The first is the decision stage and other stages ending with the maintenance phase of these projects, which leads to increase in the length of the period of completion, and privacy enjoyed by construction projects and distinguishes them apart from …
