The need for sustainable water infrastructure systems continues to grow as clean water is
essential for daily life. Despite efforts to sustain water distribution networks (WDNs), they …

Coastal bridges are vulnerable to complicated hydrodynamics induced by hostile natural
hazards, relevant research is thus required to ensure the safe operation of these critical …

Wood, a time-honored construction material prized for its exceptional properties, has been in
use for millennia. Its enduring popularity is attributed to its remarkable strength, aesthetic …

Advanced seismic isolation devices and systems have been recognized as promising
measures toward resilient design of bridge structures. This paper proposes a base isolation …

Friction isolation bearings are widely used in engineering structures, which exhibit good
seismic isolation effects. Peak displacement of friction isolation bearing is crucial to measure …

Existing investigations have proved that the near-fault vertical ground motion (VGM) would
have a significant effect on the seismic performance of bridge structures. This study mainly …

Unbonded prestressed reinforced concrete (UBPRC) column has attracted the attention of
many researchers in bridge seismic design because of its small residual displacement …

Natural gas pipeline systems are commonly designed under the assumption of constant
supply and demand flow conditions. This is while gas flows are transient because of the …

Risk management often involves retrofit optimization to enhance the performance of
buildings against extreme events but may result in huge upfront mitigation costs. Existing …

Previous studies have highlighted the serious biases that may happen in probabilistic
structural fragility analysis (PSFA) due to the ignorance of the effect of pulse period under …
