A performance-based design procedure is presented herein for seismically isolated bridges equipped with nonlinear viscous dampers (VDs). Accounting for multiple performan [...]

Reinforced concrete (R/C) buildings designed according to older seismic codes represent a large part of the existing building stock; hence, it is important to be able to [...]

Retis-Risk is a comprehensive framework recently developed for the assessment and management of the seismic resilience of interurban roadway networks. In this paper, this [...]

A performance-based design (PBD) procedure, initially proposed for bridges designed for ductile behaviour of piers, is adapted herein to seismically isolated bridges. Acc [...]

In general, bridges within a road network have different geometries, structural systems and member properties, mainly due to differences in the site topography and the co [...]

This paper deals with the assessment of intercity road networks resilience to earthquake loading. The motivation for this work is the fact that, as recent strong earthqua [...]

Previous experience from earthquake events has shown that existing substandard Reinforced Concrete (R/C) buildings are particularly vulnerable to strong ground motions. O [...]

The key objective of this paper is to present a methodology for the selection of the appropriate retrofit scheme for bridges, based on the performance of different compon [...]

Recent earthquakes and two experimental campaigns on timber-framed masonry walls have shown that timber-framed masonry buildings possess a good displacement capacity and [...]

In a previous work by the authors and their co-workers an analytical methodology for the derivation of seismic fragility curves for bridges was proposed. Bridges were cla [...]
