Over the years, power systems have been severely affected by extreme events. This
situation has worsened given that climate change has proven to exacerbate their frequency …

Both the real and spectrum-compatible seismic waves are widely used as input loads in the
seismic assessment of critical structures in engineering applications, which are also allowed …

This paper aims to investigate the propagation of low-frequency seismic surface waves in
periodic in-filled barriers from the viewpoint of bandgaps. Based on Bloch-Flouquet theory …

Earthquakes usually consist of a mainshock and a series of aftershocks, both of which are
random. The mainshock can damage structures, and the subsequent aftershocks may cause …

Transmission towers are critical components in electricity transmission systems, and their
damage or even collapse under earthquakes has drawn people's attention to the fragility …

This paper proposes a new method for seismic fragility analysis of nuclear power plants
(NPPs) considering the uncertainty sources of both ground motions and structural …

This study aims to assess the seismic fragility of the aqueduct bent structure subjected to
mainshock-aftershock (MS-AS) ground motion sequences by double incremental dynamic …

This study evaluates the leak-tightness of the nuclear containment structure subjected to
internal pressure from a probabilistic perspective. A global FE model of the containment and …

This study presents seismic fragility analysis of the containment structure subjected to near
fault ground motion. Prior to perform seismic fragility analysis, 20 near fault ground motion …

Transmission lines, which are important for maintaining economic and social operations, are
vulnerable to collapse damage due to the effect of multidimensional ground motion. In this …
