However, methods and strategies applicable to seismic risk and failure estimation of masonry-slab arch bridges (MSABs) are relatively lacking. A single seismic intensity estimation strategy is challenging to use to estimate seismic intensity accurately. To address this critical issue, this study considers multiple seismic intensity measures. A comprehensive strategy for estimating seismic intensity was proposed. By utilizing a comprehensive seismic intensity estimation model and equations, various ground motion parameters were analysed and compared, considering the monitoring records of nine stations with different spatial distributions (1467,246 earthquake accelerations) during the Wenchuan earthquake in China. A novel scale for estimating the fragility of MSABs is proposed by combining the comprehensive seismic intensity estimation method with the updated Chinese seismic intensity standard. The proposed method was used to estimate the fragility grade of 125 MSABs surveyed onsite. A seismic fragility prediction model for MSABs that incorporates logarithmic-linear fitting and optimized nonlinear estimation algorithms has been developed. The comparison results of the logarithmic-linear regression models indicate that the proposed model has high prediction accuracy for the FG1 level, with a goodness-of-fit of 0.762 and relatively low error, and a low prediction accuracy for the FG5 level, with a goodness-of-fit of 0.293. A three-dimensional numerical model of an MSAB was developed via three-dimensional numerical simulation technology. The earthquake failure and damage simulation of MSAB was conducted considering comprehensive seismic intensity measures. Considering the displacement demands, a dynamic time history comparison curve for the MSAB is generated. Incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) considering various innovative engineering demand parameters was performed. According to the Chinese bridge seismic design code and intensity standards, the drift limit of the numerical model is 0.1 m. The threshold values for seismic acceleration (capacity) in zones Ⅵ–XI are 2.0 m/s<sup>2</sup>, 3.5 m/s<sup>2</sup>, 5.0 m/s<sup>2</sup>, 8.0 m/s<sup>2</sup>, 15 m/s<sup>2</sup>, and 30 m/s<sup>2</sup>, respectively. A seismic failure cloud-map model for MSABs considering comprehensive seismic intensity measures was generated. According to the results of the method analysis and numerical simulation verification, the proposed failure and risk model can be effectively used to evaluate the seismic risk and failure modes of MSABs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11677,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Failure Analysis","volume":"186 ","pages":"Article 110493"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145837837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model quantifies rope damage by evaluating the loss of cross-sectional area resulting from wire breakage. The progression of wire breakage is characterised using a Weibull distribution with tension-dependent parameters. A hierarchical Bayesian framework is employed to robustly estimate the failure probability parameters across different wire types within the rope. The validity of the model was demonstrated through fatigue tests conducted under constant, two-step, and multistep tension conditions. Compared with Miner’s rule, the proposed approach offers superior prediction accuracy for fatigue life and effectively captures the nonlinear progression of wire rope damage.

The effects of the four factors at different stages were systematically analyzed: high water levels significantly shortened the relaxation stage due to enhanced seepage force; increased fine sand content reduced the duration of the steady erosion stage, accelerating erosion onset; an increase in crack width accelerated the development of erosion and led to an expansion of the erosion zone; and greater soil compaction decreased porosity and permeability, effectively retarding the erosion process.
