Seismic Resilience of Rail-Truck Intermodal Freight Transportation Networks
… a framework for assessing intermodal network resilience incorporating key component level input models is lacking in the literature. This study introduces a framework for quantifying the time evolving functionality and consequently resilience of rail-truck intermodal freight transportation …

An Investigation into the Seismic Resilience of Shallow Cut-and-Cover Tunnel in Urban Environments
… tunnels in liquefiable soils is critical for the seismic design of underground infrastructure, particularly in congested urban areas, where interactions with adjacent surface structures further complicate this dynamic soil-structure interaction (SSI). This dissertation presents a comprehensive …

Investigation of Modular Cross-Laminated Timber Rocking Walls and Rocking Wall -- Light-Frame Shear Wall Dual Systems for Seismic Resilience
This dissertation focuses on the development, seismic performance evaluation, and design of post-tensioned cross-laminated timber rocking walls (PT-CLT-RW) for resilient wood construction. This research focuses on experimental, analytical, and numerical investigations into PT-CLT-RW systems, both …

Confined masonry for seismically resilient low-cost housing in India : a design and analysis method
… and economical for developing countries in seismic regions. Given its suitability for low-tech environments, multiple authors have published instructions on CM construction that do not require engineering knowledge. As a result these guidelines impose constrictive design requirements. …

Assessment of Seismic Behaviour of Large LNG Tanks Considering Soil-Foundation- Structure Interaction
… rapidly, and many LNG tanks are constructed in seismically active coastal regions; hence, potential damage or leakage due to cracking triggered by an earthquake can result in destructive environmental and safety issues. These LNG tanks are usually built near the seashore to reduce the cost and …

Seismic performance assessment of quasi-isolated highway bridges with seat-type abutments
"Seismic isolation is one of the most popular strategies to protect civil engineering structures against earthquake hazards. For highway bridges, isolation physically decouples a bridge superstructure from its substructures resting on a shaking ground, leading to a significant reduction in the …

A computational framework for modelling post-earthquake building damage, loss of functionality and recovery
… contexts, this has prompted a shift in seismic design paradigm from a sole focus on life safety to approaches that also limit damage and support timely recovery. However, accurate prediction of how damaged buildings regain functionality, and at what pace, remains a complex challenge …
