Vulnerability is a fundamental component of risk and its understanding is important for
characterising the reliability of infrastructure assets and systems and for mitigating risks. The …

Risk assessment and mitigation programs have been carried out over the last decades in
the attempt to reduce transportation infrastructure downtime and post-disaster recovery …

Bridges are the most vulnerable assets of our transport networks. They are
disproportionately exposed to and hit by multiple natural hazards, with flooding being the …

Bridge fragility curves, which express the probability of a bridge reaching a certain damage
state for a given ground motion parameter, play an important role in the overall seismic risk …

The non-functionality of bridges after the occurrence of a sudden hazard can significantly
impact highway transportation systems and affect the recovery process. Seismic risk …

This paper proposes a probabilistic approach for the pre‐event assessment of seismic
resilience of bridges, including uncertainties associated with expected damage, restoration …

Intercity networks constitute a highly important civil infrastructure in developed countries, as
they contribute to the prosperity and development of the connected communities. This was …

Concrete bridge piers with conventional steel reinforcing bars are vulnerable to strong
earthquakes by inducing significant residual deformations, which substantially weakens the …

A framework for the generation of bridge‐specific fragility curves utilizing the capabilities of
machine learning and stripe‐based approach is presented in this paper. The proposed …

This study focuses on structural systems, which are particularly attractive for bridge design.
Specifically, it investigates the seismic performance of single-column bridges, which are …
