ALL ABOUT CIVIL ENGINEERING
AbstractA number of coastal bridges faced significant damage due to recent natural hazards, inducing extreme waves. The fragility function is the basic step for assessing the resilience of a structure,…
AbstractExisting efforts for analyzing the overflow fragility of inland levees have focused primarily on breach and incorporated simplified definitions of breach for that purpose. The intermediate events that are precursors…
AbstractThe present study proposes vector-valued intensity measures (IMs), consisting of two IM parameters, for improved and efficient seismic risk assessment of liquid storage tanks base isolated with laminated rubber bearing…
AbstractTraditional seismic fragility analysis defines the structural damage measure (DM) as a single parameter based on either strength, displacement, damage, or energy to evaluate the postearthquake performance of the structure,…
AbstractThis paper examines the seismic performance of a bridge–helical pile foundation based on the seismic fragility analysis, considering the element fragility of a coupled bridge–soil–foundation system. Nonlinear time history analyses…
AbstractBridges reinforced with superelastic shape memory alloys (SMAs) demonstrate improved performance under earthquake excitations. In general, the capital investment for a bridge reinforced with SMAs is higher due to their…
AbstractHurricanes are devastating natural hazards that often cause damage to the built environment as a result of their loadings, which include storm surge, waves, and wind, often in combination. Modeling…
