Seismic fragility curves are recognized as a useful tool for seismic performance assessment
of pile-supported wharf structure (PSWS) exposed to seismic hazards. These curves quantify …

Faulting is one type of permanent ground displacement (PGD); tunnels are at the risk of
damage when they are susceptible to faulting. The present study proposes an experimental …

Seismic fragility analysis can relate the probability of unsatisfactory performance of slopes
with increasing intensity of ground motions, which is the basic component of landslide …

Pile-supported wharves, as one of the main components in marine harbor systems, are
subjected to multiple hazards such as earthquakes and corrosion during their lifetime. In this …

Past seismic events have shown that pile-supported wharves are susceptible to severe
damage during earthquakes, and thus it is important to assess the seismic performance of …

The scenario-based seismic assessment approach is illustrated within a large-scale pile-
supported wharf structure (PSWS). As nonlinear seismic response analysis is …

Sensitivity analysis is a crucial step in computational mechanics and earthquake
engineering. Sensitivity analysis of a model (either numerical or physical) aims at …

Abstract In the Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE) framework of Pacific
Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center, the structural seismic responses are …

Pile-supported wharves may be subjected to severe damage during major earthquakes. As
such, efficient strategies for retrofitting wharf systems are needed. In this study, we …

The crucial role of intensity measure (IM) selection in the seismic fragility analysis of gravity
quay walls is demonstrated in this paper. Scalar-and vector-valued fragility functions are …
