The Marmara Region (NW Turkey) has experienced significant earthquakes (M> 7.0) to
date. A destructive earthquake is also expected in the region. To determine the effect of the …

This study aims to evaluate five different methodologies reported in the literature for
developing fragility curves to assess the seismic performance of RC structures subjected to …

This paper focuses on the evaluation of the seismic vulnerability of pre-1990 highway
concrete bridges, based on the development of analytical fragility curves. The parameters …

This article details a bridge-specific fragility method developed to enhance the seismic
design and resilience of bridges. Current seismic design processes provide guidance for the …

In this study, a methodology is being proposed for performing seismic fragility analysis of
corrosion affected bridges located in the coastal region of India. The study performed …

A fault rupture incident may bring about serious structural damages and instability when a
structure sustains propagated fault rupture permanent deformation. This study focused on …

Past earthquakes experience regarding frame structures with slender braces, ie tension-only
concentrically braced frames, has demonstrated poor seismic behavior of these systems. In …

Highway bridges are one of the most important components of transportation system thus
continuous operability is expected even after strong to major earthquakes. Nepal is situated …

This study provides fragility-based assessment of seismic performance of reinforced
concrete bridges. Seismic fragility curves were created using nonlinear analysis (NA) and …

A seismic margin assessment evaluates how much margin exists for the system under
beyond design basis earthquake events. Specifically, the seismic margin for the entire …
