16. Abstract This study evaluated the resilience of highway bridges under the multihazard scenario of earthquake in the presence of flood-induced scour. To mitigate losses incurred from bridge damage during extreme events, bridge retrofit strategies are selected such that the retrofit not only enhances bridge performance, but also improves resilience of the system consisting of these bridges.

The post-earthquake retrofitting and repair process of a building is key factor in improving its seismic capability. A thorough understanding methods processes will aid repairing buildings resilience. This study aims to develop visualization framework for the which builds models based on information modeling (BIM) realizes using augmented reality (AR). First, multi-level representation coding c...

The model is based on the householder’s level of engagement and commitment, but applies Fogg’...

Iran is a country with high seismicity while Tehran, the capital city is home to more than 10 million people which are located on the highest seismic zone of the country. There exist 153 gas stations throughout the metropolitan which are constructed to old building codes with little or no attention to the seismic considerations. In this study which was supported by the National Oil Company, fir...
