The concrete industry has long been adding discrete fibers to cementitious materials to
compensate for their (relatively) low tensile strengths and control possible cracks. Extensive …

Despite the increasing simulation methods used by the research of transportation
infrastructure resilience in the past decade, a comprehensive review of these simulation …

Performance assessment of a transportation network is naturally a complicated problem.
This is mainly due to the fact that such a spatially distributed network is subjected to a variety …

The seismic risk analysis of bridges in the construction period has not drawn due attention in
the seismic risk assessment of the whole bridge life cycle. Therefore, a seismic risk …

This paper introduces a novel damage ratio index (DRI) that can be used to define the
expected damage due to impact scenarios of vehicles striking bridge piers. The DRI is …

Infrastructure systems, especially those including civil infrastructure (eg, transportation
networks, water distribution systems, and power transmission lines) are inarguably critical to …

Despite an abundance of frameworks and toolkits for assessing resilience performance of
interdependent infrastructure systems in recent years, they are generally underpinned by the …

Floods can lead to substantial direct damages to transportation infrastructure assets and
cause significant indirect losses to communities that rely on the transportation network. This …

Transportation system infrastructure often experiences severe flood-related disruptions such
as overtopping, erosion, and scour. The ensuing damages can result in enormous direct and …

The flexible nature of long-span suspension bridges increases their vulnerability to dynamic
excitations such as winds and earthquakes. Non-stationary and transient wind events such …
