Experimental Study on the Seismic Behavior of CFST Self-Centering Rocking Bridge Piers
BuildingsCompared to conventional reinforced concrete (RC) piers, self-centering rocking piers exhibit better seismic resilience and sustain minor damage. However, their construction typically relies on prefabrication.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Seismic fragility assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges exposed to corrosive environments must reliably capture time‐dependent deterioration impacts. Climate change compounds this challenge through nonstationary temperature and humidity variations that accelerate bridge corrosion.

SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF INTAKE TOWER OF DAM
International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology, 2013 Intake towers are typically tall, hollow, reinforce d concrete structures and form entrance to reservoi r outlet works. A parametric study on dynamic behavior of circular cylindrical t owers can be carried out to study the effect of dep th of submergence, wall thickness and slenderness ratio, and also effect on tower con sidering dynamic analysis for ...

Complex Versus Parsimonious Site‐Based Stochastic Ground Motion Models: Which One Is Better?
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Stochastic ground motion models (GMMs) provide a probabilistic representation of seismic input and are increasingly important for uncertainty quantification (UQ) in earthquake engineering. This study focuses on site‐based stochastic GMMs, which learn the statistical features of selected datasets of seismic records and generate statistically ...

Time‐Variant Seismic Fragility of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Piers Considering Degradation Phenomena
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aging and environmental exposure progressively deteriorate the physical and mechanical properties of construction materials, thereby affecting the safety and functionality of existing infrastructure. Corrosion of steel rebars in reinforced concrete structures is widely acknowledged as the most common and detrimental degradation phenomenon, as ...
