This paper presents a comprehensive study of residual displacements of the bilinear single
degree of freedom (SDOF) systems under the near-fault ground motions (NFGMs). Five sets …

An improved method, termed as the AL-DLGPR-PDEM, is presented to address high-
dimensional reliability problems. The novelty of this work lies in developing a complete …

Due to the featured high-amplitude, long-period pulses in velocity or displacement time–
history, the near-fault ground motion may have a stronger destructive effect on engineering …

Modern civilization regards bridges as lifelines, and their failure due to significant
earthquakes in the past has raised concerns about their seismic vulnerability. The effect of …

Determining ground motions is essential for seismic analysis of long-span bridges located at
complex sites. However, there is a lack of earthquake records for local site conditions. Thus …

Seismic near-fault ground motions differ from those in the far-field. They could contain large
amplitude and long period velocity pulses and cause damage to structures. In the present …

The seismic fragility of base-isolated structures subjected to near-fault forward-directivity
ground motions is investigated. A general framework for deriving the system-level fragility …

This paper studies the influence of the characteristics of the near‐fault ground motion on the
seismic responses of the structure with energy dissipation devices including soil‐structure …

The engineering purpose of designing resistant structures in seismic areas goes through the
modeling of the earthquake ground motion. To design complex earthquake-resistant …

It is of great importance to assess the residual displacement demand in the performance-
based seismic design. In this paper, a hybrid deep learning model for predicting the residual …
