Population growth, economic development, and rapid urbanization in many areas have led
to increased exposure and vulnerability of structural and infrastructure systems to hazards …

Given the devastating losses incurred by past major earthquake events together with the
ever-increasing global seismic exposures due to population growth and urbanization …

In performance-based earthquake engineering framework, seismic fragility functions play a
fundamental role for quantifying the seismic resilience. There are three main approaches for …

The damage state of a bridge has significant implications on the post-earthquake
emergency traffic and recovery operations and is critical to identify the post-earthquake …

This paper proposes a uniform design (UD)-based Gaussian process regression (GPR)
method for rapid damage assessment and fragility estimates of bridges. The core idea of the …

Existing investigations have proved that the near-fault vertical ground motion (VGM) would
have a significant effect on the seismic performance of bridge structures. This study mainly …

This paper proposes a holistic framework for seismic analysis of extended pile-shaft-
supported bridges experiencing different extents of liquefaction and lateral spreading. To …

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

This paper assesses the influence of ground motion duration on seismic behavior of
reinforced concrete (RC) bridge piers using spectrally equivalent short-and long-duration …

Characterizing the effect of varying model parameters on the seismic performance of bridges
is a desirable assistance to retrofits of existing bridges and designs of new bridges …
