Research Interests: seismic performance and analysis of structures, strengthening and retrofitting of existing structures, structural health monitoring, damage assessment
Summary
Infrastructural engineering has been considering the concept of seismic resilience for the last 20 years. Many contributions propose methodologies to study the seismic design and resilience of structures. However, this field is still open and unexplored for infrastructure systems, such as bridges, services, pipelines,etc. For example, many approaches concentrated on proposing probabilistic seismic models, such as fragility curves. Many issues are still under discussion, such as the definitions of the losses, direct and indirect losses, and the connections between structural damage and the losses to the communities. Also, the recovery process and the determination of the repair time are still holes in the technical literature, and they are worth exploring. All these issues may be considered in this special issue together with the analysis of innovative approaches to seismic design and resilience of Infrastructure systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
1. Seismic resilience assessment and enhancement strategies for infrastructures.
2. Machine learning-based methods for evaluating seismic performance of infrastructure components.
3. Innovative seismic design and retrofitting techniques incorporating smart materials and sensing technologies for infrastructure systems.
4. Integration of digital twins and AI-driven predictive analytics for seismic resilience management of critical infrastructure.
5. Case studies and practical applications demonstrating resilient infrastructure design, recovery planning, and loss mitigation strategies.
