Probabilistic Seismic Risk Assessment for Transportation Network

Abstract:

This paper presents a probabilistic seismic risk assessment methodology developed for Highway Bridge including models for transportation network analysis, hazard estimation, and seismic performance of highway components and evaluation of the economic impact to serve as a tool in the decision process for earthquake disaster management including pre-earthquake and post earthquake actions. This study is focused on the development of a procedure for seismic risk assessment, based on a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis.
