A framework is developed for performance-based engineering of transportation infrastructure considering multiple hazards. The framework builds upon the FEMA P-58 methodology for seismic performance evaluation of buildings, but utilizes an event-based approach in a multi-hazard context and considers both structural and downtime losses. The framework... |

Durability and resilience of a structure are typically considered separately, as they address structural performance under different types of loads. A systematic framework for combined durability-resilience assessment of an RC bridge column is presented in this article. Corrosion of steel reinforcement is the main deterioration mechanism considered... |

Airfield Pavement Management collects data of structural condition such as fatigue cracking and rutting. However, important factors affect the safety of aircraft operations including non-structural distresses of low friction and surface distortion are missing in the data collection process. The goal of this research is to develop a decision-making... |

Rapid-repair cements are important to extending the life of infrastructure. Damage occurs to concrete systems because of poor construction quality, accidents, severe environmental conditions, and general wear and tear. Using rapid-repair materials allows agencies to repair the infrastructure without causing undue service delays and without having t... |
