The present study explores analytically the concept of rocking isolation in bridges
considering for the first time the influence of the abutment‐backfill system. The dynamic …

This paper proposes an alternative time-dependent seismic fragility assessment framework
considering the variable correlation of structural random parameters for aging highway …

A quantitative framework was developed to assess life-cycle resilience of deteriorating
reinforced concrete (RC) bridges under seismic ground motions (GMs). Deterioration of a …

The paper investigates seismic response control of bridges with nonlinear tuned vibration
absorbers (n-TVAs). A three-span continuous bridge is used as case study. The n-TVAs are …

The performance of two real-life California bridges is assessed under a possible regional
multihazard condition involving floods and earthquakes. For flood events with varied …

Seismic responses of ordinary highway bridges that feature stiff superstructures have been
shown to be strongly affected by abutment-backfill interactions. Seismic risk assessment of …

Abstract Geotechnical Seismic Isolation (GSI) technique has been herein discussed for
several bridge configurations in order to assess the seismic vulnerability. Comparison …

In this paper we describe the potentialities of a tool for the visualization of experimental
results directly on a three-dimensional model. The case study concerns the visualization of …

This paper proposes an improved uniform design (UD)-response surface model (RSM)
method to reduce the impacts of sample correlation among small sample data caused by UD …

Durability damage of reinforced concrete bridges in an offshore environment often occurs in
varying degrees with the extension of service life. Meanwhile, statistical data on earthquake …
