This paper aims to assess the seismic fragility of vehicle‐bridge‐interaction (VBI) systems
considering the effects of vehicle types, traffic conditions, and road surface qualities. A …

Coastal bridges featuring a box-girder design are instrumental in advancing coastal
transport and economic development. However, numerous coastal bridges with limited …

Computational efficiency and accuracy are two of the most important properties of
integration methods. In this study, an explicit single-step integration method with third-order …

Coastal bridges are crucial components of transportation systems; however, they are
susceptible to increasing failure risk from extreme waves due to climate change scenarios …

With rapid industrial development, the overloading of bridges caused by heavy multi-axle
vehicles has become a critical problem worldwide. This work conducts a performance-based …

For the current state-of-practice in soil-structure interaction (SSI) of nuclear facilities, the
strain-dependent characteristics of soil are considered indirectly via equivalent linear …

A partitioned/combined computational method based on Newmark scheme is proposed to
analyze dynamic systems with different temporal scales and element scales. To effectively …

The present methods for three‐dimensional time‐domain soil‐structure interaction (SSI)
analysis are often uneconomical because they are performed with a single time integration …

Performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) is an advanced philosophy for the
design, assessment, and decision-making of structures under seismic hazards. Improving …

Rock formations experience strength and stiffness degradation or enhancement, which is
often reflected by an increase or decrease in the elastic constant. Such elastic constant …
