Highway bridges are one of the most vulnerable constituents of transportation networks
when exposed to one or more natural hazards, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis …

The present study was aimed at assessing more accurately the seismic vulnerability and
performance of highway bridges in an earthquake-damaged area. Based on mathematical …

This paper uses the probabilistic seismic assessment to study the effects of pounding and
irregularity on the seismic behavior of typical concrete box-girder bridges with four levels of …

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 …

It is well-known that curved bridges are vulnerable to girder unseating during strong
earthquakes. This is mainly attributed to its irregular geometry and seismic pounding. In this …

Horizontally curved bridges have been observed to suffer severe structural damage during
past earthquakes. Unseating of the deck from abutments is one of the typical modes of …

The seismic performance of bridge structures is significantly affected by their column height,
design era, and horizontal deck curvature. However, existing risk assessment platforms do …

Previous studies have shown that the seismic incidence angle imposes a non-negligible
impact on the seismic performance of curved bridges. The computational efficiency of some …

Curved bridges provide a vital benefit to the nation's infrastructure system by allowing for
accessibility and ease of transition in irregular highway layouts. Curved bridges using …

Seismic vulnerability of highway bridges is crucial to the seismic risk assessment of highway
transportation networks. A new framework for developing the fragility function at the system …
