Vulnerability is a fundamental component of risk and its understanding is important for
characterising the reliability of infrastructure assets and systems and for mitigating risks. The …

The selection of a scalar Intensity Measure (IM) for performing analytical vulnerability (loss)
assessment across a building class is addressed. We investigate the ability of several IM …

Selection and scaling of ground motion records have been recognised as one of the major
sources of bias and uncertainty in the seismic assessment of civil engineering structures …

A new methodology for the development of bridge‐specific fragility curves is proposed with a
view to improving the reliability of loss assessment in road networks and prioritising retrofit of …

Selection of appropriate ground motion (GM) records for nonlinear dynamic analysis (NDA)
of structures plays a crucial role to estimate structural responses reasonably. In this study, a …

The consensual agreement that ground motion record selection plays an important role in
the non-linear dynamic structural response has contributed to numerous research studies …

In this study, the effect of different strategies which consider various levels of constraints for
spectrally matched ground motion (GM) selection on seismic responses of the buildings was …

We discuss the current state-of-the-art on the assessment of systems (structures and
lifelines) subjected to seismic loading. Severe earthquakes are random events that may …

This paper deals with the dynamic response of a free-standing ancient column in the Roman
Agora of Thessaloniki, Greece as a means to shed more light on the complex behaviour of …

The scope of this study is to investigate the effect of the direction of seismic excitation on the
fragility of an already constructed, 99‐m‐long, three‐span highway overpass. First, the …
