Safety and serviceability of highway bridges, during and after an earthquake, is a
prerequisite to ensure continuous transport facilities, emergency and evacuation routes …

A consistent seismic hazard and fragility framework considering combined capacity-demand
uncertainties is proposed, in light of the probability density evolution method (PDEM). The …

Rapid and accurate post‐earthquake damage evaluation of regional reinforced concrete
(RC) bridges is a key issue for assessing the seismic resilience of cities and communities …

Probabilistic seismic demand models are a common and often essential step in generating
analytical fragility curves for highway bridges. With these probabilistic models being …

Historical seismic events such as the San Fernando earthquake of 1971 and the Loma
Prieta earthquake of 1989 did much to highlight the vulnerabilities in many existing highway …

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 …

Transportation infrastructure are critical systems supporting community well-being. Its
impairment or failure due to hazardous events can lead to societal consequences which are …

The assessment for the thresholds of different damage state plays a vital role in the
performance-based seismic design of earthquake-resistant structures. Although fast …

Seismic fragility curves for classes of highway bridges are essential for risk assessment of
highway transportation networks exposed to seismic hazards. This study develops seismic …
