This paper assesses the seismic reliability of single degree of freedom rocking structures subjected to near-fault excitations within a probabilistic framework. In this c [...]

Traditionally, the traffic and the seismic dynamics have been considered independently when analyzing the seismic response of bridges. Given the ever increasing traffic v [...]

Traditionally, frequencies and other modal characteristics of existing bridges are measured with vibration sensors installed at multiple locations along the bridge. Howev [...]

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 [...]
