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 …

In earthquake-prone countries, transport network managers need to perform extensive
seismic risk assessments coping with a considerable number of bridges characterised by an …

The resilience assessment of existing structures and designing new resilient ones need to
have a precise estimation of seismic responses of the structures traditionally carried out by …

The focus of this study is the impact of the seismic excitation direction on the fragility of
horizontally curved bridges. Nonlinear time history analyses are performed on a typical …

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 …

Bridges are crucial structures of a roadway system, always exposed to both natural and
anthropic hazards. Several approaches have been investigated in the past two decades to …

This paper focuses on the evaluation of the seismic vulnerability of pre-1990 highway
concrete bridges, based on the development of analytical fragility curves. The parameters …

The fragility curves are the key tools in seismic risk assessment within the performance-
based earthquake engineering framework. This study employs the Symbolic Regression …
