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 [...]

The goal of this study is to investigate seismic behaviour of existing R/C buildings designed and constructed in accordance with standards that do not meet current seismi [...]

Weaknesses of existing methods for direct displacement-based design (DDBD) of bridges are pointed out and an improvement is suggested to account for higher mode effects, [...]

In the study presented herein, an analytical model for predicting the response of members with old-type detailing, rehabilitated with reinforced concrete (R/C) jacketing [...]

A modal pushover analysis (MPA) procedure for bridges is first proposed, that involves two additional steps compared to the initial proposal of the writers (Paraskeva et [...]
