Safety and serviceability of highway bridges, during and after an earthquake, is a
prerequisite to ensure continuous transport facilities, emergency and evacuation routes …

The resilience of a system is related to its ability to withstand stressors, adapt, and rapidly
recover from disruptions. Two significant challenges of resilience analysis are to (1) quantify …

Quantitative and qualitative assessment of the seismic risk to highway bridges is crucial in
pre-earthquake planning, and post-earthquake response of transportation systems. Such …

Networks are omnipresent, with examples in many different fields, from biological networks
(such as the nervous and cardiovascular system) to physical networks (such as roadways …

This paper presents a formulation for developing seismic demand models and estimating
fragilities for reinforced concrete (RC) structures under mainshocks (MSs) only and …

New reliability computation framework is proposed based on polynomial chaos expansion
method and used to investigate the reliability of four typical configurations of reinforced …

One of the greatest challenges in the United States today is overcoming the deterioration of
an aging infrastructure system. In particular, the highway/bridge infrastructure system has …

Optimizing the serviceability of highway bridges is a fundamental prerequisite to provide
proper infrastructure safety and emergency responses after natural hazards such as an …

This study proposes probabilistic seismic demand and capacity models for underground
structures considering the spatial distribution characteristics of soil properties. The proposed …

The flow capacity of a transportation network can be reduced significantly if its constituent
bridges are damaged by natural or man-made hazards. For rapid risk-informed decision …
