Investigating the impact of near-field ground motions on the fragility curves of multi-span simply supported concrete girder bridges is the main goal of this paper. Fragility curves are valuable tools for evaluating seismic risks and vulnerabilities of b...

The tunnel boring method (TBM) is a widely used and effective tunneling technology in various rock mass quality circumstances. A ?faulted rock mass? can range from a highly fractured rock mass to a sheared weak rock mass, making the ground conditions cha...

Fracture zones in front of tunnel faces can easily cause falling blocks and landslides during the construction process. Using seismic waves and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data, we extracted the features of fracture zones and achieved the advanced pre...

Large-scale lifelines in seismic-prone regions very frequently cross areas that are characterized by active tectonic faulting, as complete avoidance might be techno-economically unfeasible. The resulting Permanent Ground Displacements (PGDs) constitute a...

Numerous studies have examined the responses of various structures to the mainshock?aftershock (MS?AS) ground motion, and the MS?AS ground motions are very important as the input. Therefore, in the absence of aftershock information, it is particularly cr...
