Horizontally curved bridges have been observed to be highly vulnerable to severe seismic damage, such as deck unseating, because of the strong tendency of their decks to [...]

The paper evaluates the level of inoperability and the resilience of the critical infrastructures networks of the New York Metropolitan Area affected by Hurricane Sandy i [...]

In this paper, performance of passive viscous and friction dampers subject to near-fault ground motion velocity pulses for elastic and inelastic structures has been inves [...]

Near-fault ground motions are characterized by long-period pulses with high peak ground velocity. In this paper, a simplified closed-form approximation using decaying sin [...]
