However, the fact that they are often subjected to more than one destructive natural hazard during their life span resulting in accumulated damage that may influence their capacity has attracted relatively little research interest, while almost no design standards take it into consideration. The multiple hazard events may be successive single events, separated by considerable time intervals (e.g. an earthquake followed by a flood event), combined or cascading multiple-hazard events (e.g, landslide after an earthquake), or even simultaneous events. The main objective of this study is to propose an effective framework for the development of multiple-hazard fragility curves of bridges considering the effect of subsequent events and taking into account different possible damage scenarios of the bridge critical components, i.e. piers, bearings and the abutment-backfill systems. In this framework, the effect of the damage level of the critical components and their interdependence on the fragility assessment for multiple events is examined and compared with the bridge fragility for single events. A pilot case study is also included in the present work, aiming to highlight the effect of the initial damage state on the final fragility estimate of a typical riverine bridge.Keywords: Multi-hazardseismic hazardflood hazardfragilitybridgesubsequent events AcknowledgmentsThe research project was supported by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (H.F.R.I.) under the “2nd Call for H.F.R.I.

Their complex geometry and the presence of hole patterns along their length make the strength prevision of these structural elements difficult. This article evaluates the safety presented in the design of rack columns by adaptations of the Direct Strength Method (DSM), the original formulation of which does not address perforations. The safety parameters used here are the reliability indexes, calculated by the First Order Second Moment (FOSM) method, used in the calibration of the AISI S100 current standard, the First Order Reliability Method (FORM) and Monte Carlo Simulation. Only methodologies that applied the reduced thickness method in cross-section modelling produce results close to the target reliability indexes suggested for cold-formed columns. The target indexes are met for all load combinations when only distortional buckling failure is considered. However, the DSM adaptations are still imprecise when considering failure with local buckling. New professional factors were calibrated for these cases, as the design using the current ϕ=0.85 does not meet the safety requirements.Keywords: industrial storage systemsrack columnsdirect strength methodstructural reliabilityreliability indexesresistance factors AcknowledgementsThis study was financed in part by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - Brasil (CAPES) - Finance Code 001.

It would have been impossible to replace all existing infrastructural assets, so the focus was shifted to their upkeep. This is commonly achieved through structural health assessments of bridges and through properly planned and prioritized maintenance interventions. For a proper management of their bridge stock, infrastructure managers need a prioritization tool capable of quickly assessing whether a particular unit is in immediate need of maintenance. Currently, the prioritization of each bridge inside a stock is often based on its structural reliability. Yet, whilst several complex and time-consuming structural reliability assessment methodologies exist, these often fail to be quick in application. The present article provides for this shortcoming by introducing a novel simplified structural reliability model. In particular, it provides a framework for the assessment of overload, degradation, seismic, hydraulic and landslide risk factors and a detailed formalization of the most widespread, i.e. overload and degradation. On the basis of such a swift model, infrastructure managers can quickly detect rapidly deteriorating bridges, guarantee well-timed interventions and improve infrastructure user safety.Keywords: structural reliabilitybridge reliabilityrisk assessmentprobability of failurebridge managementmaintenance prioritizationbridge user safety Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThis research has been supported also by Ministry of Education University and Research MIUR PON RI 2014-2020 Program (Project MITIGO, ARS01_00964), Consorzio della Rete dei Laboratori Universitari di Ingegneria Sismica e Strutturale ReLUIS Ponti 2021- 2022 ‘Implementation of provisions of DM 578/2020', and DPC-ReLUIS 2022-2024 ‘Monitoring and satellite data’.","PeriodicalId":51281,"journal":{"name":"Structural Engineering International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135885244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
