Machine Learning–Based Seismic Reliability Assessment of Bridge Networks

Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 148, Issue 7

Abstract

Transportation networks are critical components of lifeline systems. They can experience disruptions due to seismic hazards that could lead to severe emergency response and recovery problems. Finding an efficient and effective method to evaluate the seismic reliability of bridge networks is crucial for risk managers. This study proposes a method that can compute the seismic reliability of bridge networks using machine learning techniques. The proposed method is computationally less expensive than existing methods and can be implemented easily in emergency risk management systems. Moreover, it includes information on ranking bridges and prioritizing retrofit plans.
