This report presents research on the probabilistic seismic performance evaluation of a
structural-geotechnical interacting system. The system comprises a bridge, its foundation …

It is widely accepted that flexible foundations affect the responses of structures beneficially
or detrimentally depending on the nature of input ground motion, the effective response …

Advanced computational tools are currently available for the dynamic analysis of bridge
structures considering the complex phenomenon of embankment-foundation-abutment …

This dissertation presents a methodology for the refined, reliable, integrated and versatile
assessment of the impact of earthquakes on civil infrastructure systems by using free-field …
