Characterizing the effect of varying model parameters on the seismic performance of bridges is a desirable assistance to retrofits of existing bridges and designs of new bridges …
Scour of pile group foundations is a common hazard for cross-river bridges and can produce considerable damage to piles in earthquake-prone regions. The fragility-based performance …

This paper presents results of one‐g shake‐table tests on scoured pile‐group‐supported bridge models in saturated (liquefiable) and dry (nonliquefiable) sands. The primary …
This article proposes an approach for the derivation of multi-hazard fragility functions, through the use of system reliability methods and Bayesian Networks. A bridge system is …
Offshore and land-based structures represent large capital investments. They are designed to withstand various types of environmental loads such as earthquakes, winds, ocean …
The high-rise buildings designed with a long lifetime may be exposed to one or more extreme hazards. Traditionally, specifications separately treated the multiple extreme …
