The fifteen-story Alto Rio building built in 2006 in the city of Concepción, Chile, was the only modern building that collapsed catastrophically during the February 27, [...]

Because of the emerging transportation needs, the California High-Speed Rail (CHSR) project has been launched after significant success of high-speed rail systems in diff [...]

This paper presents an approach for structural health monitoring by integrating nonlinear structural finite element (FE) models and Bayesian methods. Batch and recursive [...]

The fifteen story Alto Rio building built between 2007 and 2009 in the city of Concepción, Chile, was the only modern building to experience catastrophic collapse during [...]

A technique for analysis of dynamic structural response is developed based on the Wavelet Transform Method (WTM). This technique extends an earlier methodology for struct [...]

This paper presents recent advances in response sensitivity, probabilistic response and reliability analyses of structural and geotechnical systems. These developments ar [...]

The study of historical building goes beyond the modern principles of earthquake engineering and requires on one side a good knowledge of the building techniques at the t [...]

Classical reliability methods such as First- and Second-Order Reliability Methods (FORM and SORM) have been important breakthroughs toward feasible and reliable integrati [...]

This paper presents a two-dimensional yet advanced nonlinear finite element model of a real bridge system, the Humboldt Bay Middle Channel Bridge near Eureka in Northern [...]
