This paper proposes a novel reliability assessment framework for post-seismic performance of highway bridge network that considers cascading failures caused by traffic flow …
The occurrence of disasters such as earthquakes, cyclones, tsunamis, and floods affect the resilience of bridges. In the last four decades, about 2,130 bridges were collapsed due to …
Bridges in a road network play a significant role in supporting the flows of people, goods, and freight during an earthquake event and are expected to maintain their functionality …
Making a decision on the post-earthquake functionality of structures has always been one of the most challenging issues in earthquake engineering. There is an increasing trend toward …
Target reliability is an essential design constrain for probabilistic-based design approaches. The target reliability analysis requires a double optimization process concerning the trade …
