Abstract: Despite the potential of high-consequence events, rarity of earthquake occurrences in moderate seismic zones and a misconstrued perception of risk has often led to a delayed onset of seismic detailing practices for highway ...

Abstract: Aging affected structural components negatively impact the lateral load–resisting capacity and fragility of highway bridges during seismic shaking. Until now, a majority of existing literature on corrosion deterioration ...

Abstract: Seismic design principles of highway bridges across the globe have undergone significant modifications over the last decades, from little consideration of seismic effects to adoption of modern ductile detailing principles. ...

Abstract: Recent findings reported in the contemporary literature have underlined the criticality of including climate change effects in models of deterioration of civil engineering structures. Highway bridges, when exposed to ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel vector-based seismic vulnerability assessment methodology for deteriorating highway bridges by uniquely accounting for realistic deterioration of key structural components. The proposed framework ...

Abstract: This paper presents the formulation of a time-dependent seismic fragility format for bridges, as well as new insights into the potential effects of aging and deterioration on seismic vulnerability traditionally neglected ...

Abstract: The value of information (VoI) framework, based on Bayesian preposterior analysis, can be used to estimate the most likely benefit associated with a particular structural health monitoring (SHM) strategy. The errors within ...
