In most current seismic investigations on bridges with tall piers, only mainshock actions are considered without incorporating the effect of mainshock-aftershock (MA) sequences. This …
Many recent research studies focused on the development of innovative seismic resilient structures by chasing the objectives of minimising both seismic damage and repair time …
Fragility curves are one of the substantial means required for seismic risk assessment of buildings in the framework of performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) …
This study focuses on scoring, selecting, and developing physical fragility (ie, the probability of reaching or exceeding a certain damage state given a specific hazard intensity) and/or …
Highway bridges are critical components of the lifeline transport infrastructure in urban areas. They are designed with the expectation of not sustaining significant structural/non …
This study proposes a practical fragility-oriented approach for the seismic retrofit design of case-study structures. This approach relies on mapping the increase of the global …
Conventional earthquake risk assessments use fragility and vulnerability models that are based on seismic demands from individual (mainshock) ground motions, and implicitly …
Nowadays, there is a lack of adequate code provisions for the seismic performance and risk assessment of steel structures to be used within European countries. At the same time, in …
