Abstract: |
The seismic resilience of bridges has become an important concept in civil engineering since these systems need to remain operative during and after earthquakes. In this regard, the definition of recovery needs to consider the delay time (named as the time between an event and the beginning of the recovery process). The original concept of seismic resilience has been expanded herein in order to account for the delay time of bridge configurations. Its role in the quantification of seismic resilience has been investigated by performing a case study of a Californian highway bridge subjected to an ensemble of 100 input motions. The results demonstrate that the delay time may significantly reduce the seismic resilience of bridges. |
