This study aims to develop seismic fragility curves for a typical pile-supported wharf. Fragility curve is one of the popular tools in seismic performance evaluation of a structure. The software FLAC2D was used to simulate the seismic performance of the wharf structure. Using eight time history records, occurred in past, as seismic loading, incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) was applied for sei...

The goals of seismic impact assessment can be achieved by seismic monitoring systems and seismic impact simulator. Seismic monitoring system, for the purpose of hazard analysis, local site effects analysis, vulnerability analysis, and estimation of loss, is one application of SHM in earthquake engineering. A prototype, conceptual seismic impact simulator integrating SHM, FEM, GIS, and Virtual R...

Seismic hazard and risk are fundamentally different concepts. Seismic hazard describes phenomena generated by earthquakes that have potential to cause harm, but seismic risk is the likelihood (chance) of experiencing a specified level of seismic hazard in a given time exposure. Seismic hazard occurs naturally and can be evaluated from instrumental, historical, and geological observations. Seism...

Infrastructure systems, such as bridges, are perpetually vulnerable to natural hazards seismic events, flooding, and landslides. This study aims determine the relevant parameters required increase resilience of bridge infrastructure based on decisions experts prior research. To this end, crisp DEMATEL (decision-making trial evaluation laboratory) rough methods employed. Rough is a supplement th...

The vulnerability of the UHV porcelain arrester is very high under strong earthquake. To rise seismic reliability of the UHV porcelain arrester, a new type lead damper, which is a new patent product, is installed at the bottom of the equipment. To investigate the damping effect of the dampers, the experimental research and finite element analysis on seismic behavior of the UHV porcelain arreste...

Many exploration and drilling applications would benefit from a robust method of integrating vertical seismic profile (VSP) and seismic data to estimate interval velocity. In practice, both VSP and seismic data contain random and correlated errors, and integration methods which fail to account for both types of error encounter problems. We present a nonlinear, tomography-like least-squares algo...
