Safety and serviceability of highway bridges, during and after an earthquake, is a
prerequisite to ensure continuous transport facilities, emergency and evacuation routes …

Recent researches are directed towards the regional seismic risk assessment of structures
based on a bridge inventory analysis. The framework for traditional regional risk …

Recent efforts are oriented towards the regional risk assessment of bridge inventories by
grouping bridge classes which are expected to have similar performance or damage …

Probabilistic seismic demand models are a common and often essential step in generating
analytical fragility curves for highway bridges. With these probabilistic models being …

Historical seismic events such as the San Fernando earthquake of 1971 and the Loma
Prieta earthquake of 1989 did much to highlight the vulnerabilities in many existing highway …

This study aims to identify optimal intensity measures (IMs) for use in probabilistic seismic
demand models (PSDMs) for circular tunnels in soft soil deposits. To this end, we performed …

This paper presents the formulation of a time-dependent seismic fragility format for bridges,
as well as new insights into the potential effects of aging and deterioration on seismic …

The estimation of building fragility, ie, the probability function of seismic demand exceeding
a certain limit state capacity given the seismic intensity, is a common process inherent in any …

Fragility curves for retrofitted bridges indicate the influence of various retrofit measures on
the probability of achieving specified levels of damage. This paper presents an analytical …

Quantitative and qualitative assessment of the seismic risk to highway bridges is crucial in
pre-earthquake planning, and post-earthquake response of transportation systems. Such …
