Bridges are one of the most important lifeline structures such that loss of functionality of the
network system is directly related to the social and economic losses experienced following …

Observations from field identifications show that, in areas with a high seismicity rate, a
structure is exposed to the risk of more than one earthquake in a year. Since after every …

In this dissertation, theoretical, computational, and experimental methodologies are
introduced to determine the rate-dependent material properties of the brain tissue …

Studies show that design codes did not provide a reliable way to consider the effects of
successive earthquakes on the behavior of the RC buildings. A lot of research are underway …

High-speed railway bridge piers in seismically active area may be subjected to multiple
earthquakes and then produce cumulative residual deformation. To study the cumulative …

The main objective of the performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) framework is
to fully understand the scale of the problems due to earthquakes with respect to deaths …

Although it is well acknowledged that the severity of earthquake ground motions (GMs) can
be categorized considering different features of GMs, non-spectral aspects of GMs are not …
