Steel-reinforced high dam** natural rubber (HDNR) bearings are widely employed in
seismic isolation applications to protect structures from earthquake excitations. In multi-span …

This article investigates the seismic fragility of ageing irregular multi-span reinforced
concrete (RC) bridges. Different irregularity sources are considered, including:(i) …

This paper presents an up-to-date state-of-the-art review on the behaviour of irregular
bridges under seismic excitation. Although several characteristics and definitions may be …

This paper investigates the nonlinear dynamic behaviour and failure probability of multi-
span Reinforced Concrete (RC) bridges supported on piers of unequal heights. To this end …

Multispan continuous bridges built in mountainous areas are typically characteristic of
having equal height piers since it is a commonly-adopted solution when crossing steep …

A performance‐based design procedure is proposed for seismically isolated bridges
with/without supplemental energy dissipation devices. Considering multiple performance …

Many of the procedures used in bridge design are force-based and may be considered
reasonable design approaches that will lead to safe structures. But they do not directly …

This work is concerned with the seismic retrofit of multi-storey buildings by installing isolation
devices at various levels along their height. The design of an effective retrofit solution of this …

The bridge piers are the main components, and their destruction can cause significant
damage to bridges. The concentration of failure in one or two piers of irregular bridges has …

This paper presents the parametric study of irregular RC bridge structures subjected to
strong seismic records. We determine the expected damages and the concentration …
