Risk assessment and mitigation programs have been carried out over the last decades in
the attempt to reduce transportation infrastructure downtime and post-disaster recovery …

Twenty-five reinforced concrete (RC) columns of section size 250× 250 mm were designed
and tested to study the seismic response considering the effect of loading case …

Transmission towers are critical components in electricity transmission systems, and their
damage or even collapse under earthquakes has drawn people's attention to the fragility …

Residual displacement demand is a key indicator of seismic damage and plays a pivotal
role in post-earthquake decision making on damaged structures. This parameter can be …

This study analytically explored a parameterized set of 20 reinforced concrete bridge piers
which share several geometrical and material properties commonly found in Canadian …

This paper highlights the importance of considering local component failure of self-centering
braces (SCBs) when examining the seismic fragility and economic performance of emerging …

Previous earthquakes have shown that for structures that experience a significant ground
motion with only minor damage, there is a likelihood of severe damage or complete collapse …

The elongation of the fundamental period of structure is a typical indicator of structural
inelasticity during seismic events and of consequent damage accumulation. This study …

Identifying the optimal intensity measure (IM) contributes to reducing uncertainties in
probabilistic seismic demand models (PSDM) and enhancing confidence of their results …

Focusing on the continuous damage and seismic-induced stability of offshore bridges, this
paper presents an optimized quantification of the importance coefficient of bridges subjected …
