Abstract: This paper explores financial aspects of selecting retrofit strategies for an interdependent civil infrastructure system subjected to multiple hazards. A hypothetical bridge–roadway–levee system, subjected to seismic and ...

Abstract: This study evaluates the economic viability of allowing for controlled inelastic deformation of special moment–resisting buildings during wind storms. This is achieved through a set of case studies involving steel buildings ...

Abstract: In this paper, recently developed probabilistic elastoplasticity was applied in simulating cyclic behavior of clay. A simple von Mises elastic–perfectly plastic material model was used for simulation. Probabilistic soil ...
