Uncertainty plagues every effort to model subsurface processes and every decision made
on the basis of such models. Given this pervasive uncertainty, virtually all practical problems …

This study proposes probabilistic seismic demand and capacity models for underground
structures considering the spatial distribution characteristics of soil properties. The proposed …

Highlights•Seismic vulnerability assessment of an idealized pile-supported wharf is
assessed.•Analytical fragility curves are developed for the wharf under study.•Incremental …

The spatial variability of soil properties has a significant effect on the seismic responses of
sites. Considering that the probability density evolution method (PDEM), an efficient …

Focusing on low-rise steel buildings supported by shallow isolated foundations on dense
silty sand, this study demonstrates the effect of uncertainty in soil parameters on seismic …

The present work deals with the evaluation of the effect of the randomness of both soil
parameters and input motion on the seismic response of a sandy soil profile. Special …

There is an increasing interest in utilizing surrogate models to perform the global sensitivity
analysis (GSA) for the uncertainty quantification since they allow to quantify efficiently the …

Pile-supported wharves undergo lateral displacement as well as structural damage due to
earthquakes. Therefore, residual displacement and structural safety assessment are …

The present paper deals with the influence of soil non-linearity, introduced by soil
liquefaction, on the soil-foundation–structure interaction phenomena. Numerical simulations …

In this study, the seismic vulnerability of a pile-supported wharf is assessed. Due to common
lack of empirical data, the analytical fragility curves are developed using the results of the …
