Parametric study of the seismic vulnerability of steel structures and their vulnerability curves [PDF]

Journal of Materials and Engineering Structures, 2020
The use of metal structures is increasingly used. This is due to the fact that these structures are quick to erect (saving time and money) and make it possible to obtain interesting technical characteristics (spans and heights).

Seismic Vulnerability Index for Road Networks [PDF]

Proceedings of the 2015 International Conference on Industrial Technology and Management Science, 2015
To prevent heavy damages in road network after a quake, vulnerability studies must be conducted. The framework of the present study aims to develop a vulnerability index (VI) method for roads. The most important parameters influencing the seismic behavior of roads are identified, based on the worldwide seismic feedback experience and data from past ...
