Constructed in 1983, the Portage Creek Bridge is a three span highway bridge located in Victoria, British Columbia (BC), Canada. This bridge is a part of a smart seismic [...]

Model updating serves the purpose of providing a more representative finite element model of a structure. Engineers and researchers need a tuned model for many applicatio [...]

Three- to five-storey high reinforced concrete (RC) frames with brick masonry infill walls have been predominantly used for housing construction in urban areas of Nepal s [...]

This study investigates the correlation of a number of ground motion intensity measures with the predicted seismic damage of ductile concrete bridges in British Columbia, [...]

Earthquake recording stations, seismographs and/or strong-motion instruments, located on underlying soils are generally installed without comprehensive knowledge or testi [...]

A seismic upgrading technique using the steel ring connection (SRC) was presented to enhance the lateral ductility, energydissipation and damping potential of the existin [...]

The British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and the University of British Columbia, Canada, have recently embarked on a program to instrument key s [...]

Structural and geotechnical engineers have long relied upon the use of the popular Mononobe-Okabe (M-O) method for determining seismic lateral pressur [...]

This paper presents a general description of a new integrated hazard analysis methodology to study interdependencies among critical infrastructures. This research project [...]
