Fragility functions and recovery models are often used to assess lifeline systems subjected
to extreme hazards. However, even though many databases for fragility and recovery …

Large-scale liquid storage tanks are used worldwide for storing water, chemicals and fuels,
such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) and oil. Any major damage due to man-made or natural …

This paper presents a series of shaking table tests on a full-scale flat-bottom steel silo filled
with soft wheat, under isolated-base conditions. The tested specimen is a 3.64 m-diameter …

Glass-bottomed suspension footbridges are increasingly constructed, especially in scenic
regions, because of glass-bottomed and transparent decks to, eg attract tourists. This study …

Liquid storage tanks (LSTs) have become indispensable to civil engineering infrastructure.
LSTs are used not only for storing harmless fluids but also explosive, toxic, and hazardous …

Liquid-filled tanks are important infrastructure for the storage of water, chemicals and fuels,
such as oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG). Many such large-scale tanks are located in …

In general, soil-structure interaction phenomena affect considerably the dynamic response
of liquid-storage tanks. As it is also observed in the case of ordinary structures, the ground …

The present study proposes vector-valued intensity measures (IMs), consisting of two IM
parameters, for improved and efficient seismic risk assessment of liquid storage tanks base …
