Journal ArticleDOI
Neumann Expansion for Stochastic Finite Element Analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of structural response variability resulting from the spatial variability of material properties of structures, when they are subjected to static loads of a deterministic nature, is dealt with with the aid of the finite element method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Digital Generation of Non‐Gaussian Stochastic Fields
TL;DR: In this paper, a method by which sample fields of a multidimensional non-Gaussian homogeneous stochastic field can be generated is developed, where the method first generates Gaussian sample fields and then maps them into non -Gaussian samples with the aid of an iterative procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of Satellite SAR Intensity Imagery for Detecting Building Areas Damaged Due to Earthquakes
Masashi Matsuoka,Fumio Yamazaki +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a feasibility study on backscattering characteristics of damaged areas in the 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu (Kobe), Japan, earthquake using the preand post-event ERS images, revealing that the backscatter coefficient and intensity correlation between the two attained values were significantly lowered in hard-hit areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of earthquake ground motions on fragility curves of highway bridge piers based on numerical simulation
Kazi Rezaul Karim,Fumio Yamazaki +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical approach was adopted to construct fragility curves for highway bridge piers of speciCc bridges. But, the type of structure, structural performance (static and dynamic) and variation of input ground motion were not considered to construct the empirical fragility curve.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simplified method of constructing fragility curves for highway bridges
Kazi Rezaul Karim,Fumio Yamazaki +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical approach was adopted to develop the fragility curves for highway bridges based on numerical simulation, which showed the probability of highway structure damage as a function of strong motion parameters, and they allowed the estimation of a level of damage probability for a known ground motion index.
