This paper discusses and compares two recently developed methodologies for the
prediction of damage accumulation in structures subjected to multiple earthquakes within …

With the development of performance-based seismic design, the residual displacements of
structures have become a key factor in determining the post-earthquake functionality and …

Damage accumulation due to multiple seismic impacts over time has a significant effect on
the residual service life of the bridge. A reliability-based framework was developed to make …

Modern civilization regards bridges as lifelines, and their failure due to significant
earthquakes in the past has raised concerns about their seismic vulnerability. The effect of …

The rocking bridge has attracted a significant research interest, due to its excellent self-
centering capacity after the severe earthquake. However, the vast majority of previous …

To study the seismic performance of high-strength reinforced concrete frame joints, cyclic
loading tests were carried out on six concrete beam-column joints configured with the new …

Reinforced concrete (RC) rigid-frame bridges with tall hollow piers were widely constructed
in Southwestern China, an earthquake-prone area. For such bridges, the seismic damages …

To correctly manage the road infrastructure before and after an earthquake, it is necessary to
estimate and even predict the seismic performance of the bridge. The quantification of the …

Dynamic shear and ballistic impact experiments were conducted to investigate mechanism
by which tungsten alloy projectiles impact high-strength steel. Dynamic shear experiments …

Earthquake is a kind of unexpected natural disaster that happens due to a sudden
movement of tectonic plates within the Earth, noted as Inter-plate earthquake and Intra-plate …
