Simplified procedures have been used for the estimation of seismic response parameters by
considering the epistemic uncertainties for an older reinforced concrete frame, and for two …

The performance-based seismic assessment and design concept has been applied
successfully to superstructures. To promote the development and extension of performance …

This article presents a conditional seismic risk evaluation framework of bridges located in
seismically active flood-prone regions. Flood-induced bridge scour causes loss of lateral …

This study proposes a procedure for developing seismic fragility curves for a pile-supported
wharf. A typical pile-supported wharf, as commonly used in the ports of Taiwan, is chosen for …

Ports are located in areas often susceptible to storm surge and flooding from severe storms
as well as the potential impacts of climate change, such as sea level rise. Although there is a …

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

Block-type gravity quay walls are widely used in remote oceanic regions due to their cost
and construction efficiency, where backfill and foundation soil often consist of liquefiable …

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 …

In this paper, an analytical study considering the effect of uncertainties in the seismic
analysis of geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) walls is presented. Using limit equilibrium …

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 …
