Climate change, diverse geohazards and structural deterioration pose major challenges in
planning, maintenance and emergency response for transport infrastructure operators. To …

This study aims to assess the seismic fragility of the aqueduct bent structure subjected to
mainshock-aftershock (MS-AS) ground motion sequences by double incremental dynamic …

Deterioration mechanisms, such as chloride-induced corrosion, affect bridges in aggressive
environments, making them more vulnerable to extreme events like earthquakes. Although …

Bridges are crucial structures of a roadway system, always exposed to both natural and
anthropic hazards. Several approaches have been investigated in the past two decades to …

Bridges are the most critical and usually the most vulnerable structural component of a road
network exposed to various hazards. Damage due to recent earthquakes worldwide …

Commonly, seismic fragility is used as an assessment tool rather than a design constraint for
existing building structures. In addition, the degree of seismic fragility safety margin after …

This paper quantified the seismic resilience (SR) of different bridge classes by performing
three-dimensional advanced numerical simulations in Opensees. SR was calculated by …

Based on past earthquake events, bridges are the most critical and most vulnerable
component of road and rail transport systems, while bridge damage is related to substantial …

The variability in source characteristics induces spatial variability in the characteristics of
near-field ground motion intensities which in turn impacts the fragility behaviour of …

A component-based seismic fragility analysis method for bridges recently developed by the
authors is extended here to include the foundation component. In line with the treatment of …
