Risk assessment and mitigation programs have been carried out over the last decades in
the attempt to reduce transportation infrastructure downtime and post-disaster recovery …

Modern societies rely on large-scale interdependent networks and systems that are critical
for economic growth and societal well-being. Such infrastructure are vulnerable to natural as …

Concrete bridge piers with conventional steel reinforcing bars are vulnerable to strong
earthquakes by inducing significant residual deformations, which substantially weakens the …

Over the last two decades, the probabilistic assessment of reinforced concrete (RC)
structures under seismic hazard has been developed rapidly. However, little attention has …

Natural and anthropogenic hazards pose significant risks to individuals and communities.
Over the past few decades, risk and reliability analysis have gone from a specialty topic to a …

Infrastructure management plays an important role in sustainable development and is
essential for the evaluation of the socioeconomic feasibility of existing projects and the …

Gradual deterioration of RC bridges due to chloride-induced corrosion is of concern for
bridge durability and life-cycle performance assessment under earthquakes. Uncertainties …

This paper presents a probabilistic approach to predict the lifetime seismic performance of
concrete bridges exposed to aggressive environments. The time-variant behaviour of critical …

Many structures service in complex environments where multiple environmental factors
(MEFs) coexist, and the coupling effects of MEFs often aggravate structural damage, thus …

To investigate the seismic cumulative failure effect (SCFE) of a reservoir bank rock slope, the
dynamic displacement response of the slope was analysed using shaking table tests. A …
