In recent years, destructive earthquakes have caused large-scale losses for lives and
properties, bringing forward the importance of seismic studies, research, and scientific …

A prominent challenge in performance-based earthquake engineering is to select a suitable
set of ground motions records with which to perform probabilistic seismic assessment of …

Simplified mechanics-based approaches for the seismic performance analysis are used for
the risk assessment of large bridge portfolios. This study evaluates the applicability and …

In performance-based seismic assessment, structural response is characterised using
fragility functions based on a seismic intensity measure (IM). IMs are typically related to the …

The mass center of the roof in building frames is usually considered as a target point when a
nonlinear static (pushover) analysis needs to be carried out. In the present study, 12 steel …

The seismic assessment of a road network depends largely on the characterization of the
fragility of its bridge components. The accuracy of bridge seismic demand estimates and the …

Abstract Geotechnical Seismic Isolation (GSI) technique has been herein discussed for
several bridge configurations in order to assess the seismic vulnerability. Comparison …

We have investigated the time-dependent seismicity model of the earthquake occurrence on
a regional basis through the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ). To that end, the studied …

This paper presents an up-to-date state-of-the-art review on the behaviour of irregular
bridges under seismic excitation. Although several characteristics and definitions may be …

In macro-scale roadway networks, bridges are the main point-site components and tend to
be among the most vulnerable elements in case an earthquake occurs. Given this …
