Fragility curves that can be applicable for vulnerability modeling of various configurations of structures, such as bridges, are required for risk assessment. While a sig [...]

The conception, design, test setup, and predicted behavior of a SMA-based recentering beam-column connection are presented. Since the 1994 Northridge earthquake, many dif [...]

One means of developing self-centering structural systems for seismic applications is through the use of materials with inherent recentering capability. Superelastic NiTi [...]

The study of the seismic behavior of container cranes is critical since recent natural hazard events have highlighted their vulnerability. This paper provides details abo [...]

This paper presents a seismic risk assessment of the transportation network in Charleston, SC, to support the development of mitigation strategies and emergency planning [...]
