This paper proposes a uniform design (UD)-based Gaussian process regression (GPR)
method for rapid damage assessment and fragility estimates of bridges. The core idea of the …

The benefit of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) to the life-cycle seismic performance of the
bridge has not yet been fully studied. A probabilistic methodology was proposed in this study …

Abstract The Shape Memory Alloy (SMA)-restrained bearing consists of a typical sliding
bearing and SMA wires. The SMA wires are adopted to limit the excessive displacement …

The floating slab track is considered one of the most effective track structures to reduce the
adverse effects of underground railway noise and vibration. This paper reports a new type of …

Seismic fragility assessment using structural dynamic analysis remains challenging for
complex systems due to the high computational demand, such as the sea-crossing cable …

Bridges tend to sustain excessive seismic demand (eg displacement) under pulse-like
ground motions attributing to the effect of forward directivity, which is of high likely to occur at …

This paper presents a framework based on the endurance time (ET) method to evaluate
bridge seismic fragility and resilience in the life-cycle context by considering corrosion …

Quantifying the seismic fragility, risk, and resilience of structures is a computationally
demanding step in the performance-based earthquake engineering framework as it …

It is well established that various sources of uncertainties play a critical role in the safety
assessment of engineering structures. Some widely used frameworks, such as performance …

Seismic isolation devices serve as an important measure to reduce hazards or mitigate
structure damage subject to earthquakes. It's of great necessity to select the optimal …
