Coastal bridges are susceptible to severe damage due to wave-induced forces during
extreme events such as coastal flooding, hurricanes, storm surges and tsunamis. As a direct …

Coastal bridges may have been damaged by the prior earthquakes before the earthquake
triggered near-field tsunami acting on the bridges. In this scenario, the bridges can be …

Current guidelines for design and assessment of buildings under tsunami actions do not
explicitly state how to apply tsunami loads to buildings and which analysis methods to use in …

A probabilistic framework is presented for the development of physics and simulation-based
parametrized tsunami fragility functions for structures accounting for structural member …

Tsunamis affect coastal regions around the world, resulting in fatalities and catastrophic
damage to communities. Fragility functions form the basis of most risk and resilience …

Many coastal regions lying on subduction zones are likely to experience the catastrophic
effects of cascading earthquake and tsunami observed in recent events, eg, 2011 Tohoku …

Seismic rapid visual screening (RVS) methods are used when a large stock of structures is
to be evaluated for seismic risk. Although several RVS methods are available, applications …

The numerical tsunami model NAMI-DANCE solving the equations of the nonlinear-
dispersive theory of long waves is described. It is developed in cooperation of Turkish and …

A hazard is considered a disaster when it occurs in a populated area, and therefore brings
damage, loss of goods and/or lives, and consequent destruction. The main objective of this …

The study presents a simple mechanics-based method to develop analytical fragility
functions for the risk assessment of Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame buildings subjected to …
