Uncertainty-informed multi-hazard risk evaluation of degrading civil structures

Funding agency: National Research and Development Agency (ANID)

Grant: FONDECYT Regular 1200277 (2020-2024)

Principal Investigator: Rodrigo Astroza

Co-Principal Investigators: Francisco Hernandez, Ramiro Bazaez, Jose Abell

This project will propose an advanced uncertainty-informed multi-hazard risk assessment approach by integrating model calibration (uncertainty quantification) of material and component-level models using experimental data, development of state-of-the-art FE formulations for modeling and seismic response analysis of large-scale soil-foundation-structure-interaction systems including time-varying material deterioration and local scour effects, and propagation of uncertainties to determine fragility curves.
