Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls perform well under earthquake loads, and hence they are preferred in earthquake-prone regions. The multifaceted load transfer between the components of the MSE wall under seismic loads can be captured using numer...

Uncertainty quantification is an important issue in the seismic fragility analysis of bridge type structures. However, the influence of different sources of uncertainty on the seismic fragility of the system is commonly overlooked due to the costly re-ev...

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...

In low-to-moderate seismicity (intraplate) regions where locally recorded strong motion data are too scare for conventional regression analysis, stochastic simulations based on seismological modelling have often been used to predict ground motions of fut...
