Elastic and Inelastic Analysis of Frames with a Force-Based Higher-Order 3D Beam Element Accounting for Axial-Flexural-Shear-Torsional Interaction
When one of the dimensions of a structural member is not clearly larger than the two orthogonal ones, engineers are usually compelled to simulate it with refined meshes of shell or solid finite elements that ...

Methods for Inelastic Analysis of Bridges
The chapter presents in a uniform way the available inelastic analysis methods for the seismic assessment and design of bridges. Since inelastic response-history analysis has long been used for bridges without...

Chapter
Modelling of Bridges for Inelastic Analysis
The analytical tools necessary for the implementation of inelastic methods for bridges are presented. The chapter starts with available models for the bridge deck and their role in seismic assessment, addressi...

Chapter
Case Studies and Comparative Evaluation of Methods
The methods presented in chapter 3 are applied here to specific case-studies, involving bridges with different length and configuration. The chapter starts with a critical discussion of the basic parameters th...

Global Earthquake Model: Community-Based Seismic Risk Assessment
The Global Earthquake Model (GEM) initiative aims to develop a global model of earthquake risk as an open source, community-driven project. In order to begin this in a structured way, a number of Global Compon...
