INFRARES Towards resilient transportation infrastructure in a multi-hazard environment
Webpage: https://www.infrares.gr/
Funding: Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (HFRI)
Project news
✓Thorough literature review carried out in the
frame of research project INFRARES
revealed the following:
✓Most analytical studies focused on the
assessment against ground shaking in
the transverse direction
✓Most analytical studies employed a visco-
elasto-plastic models with Mohr-Coulomb
yield criterion to simulate ground
response under ground shaking
✓Most studies used Peak Ground
Acceleration (PGA) at ground surface as
Intensity Measure
✓Most studies used Engineering Demand
Parameters based on lining forces
What are the selections/assumptions commonly made in numerical studies
on seismic vulnerability assessment of underground structures?
ICOHNIC 2022: The team
members of INFRARES project
attended the 3rd International
Conference on Natural Hazards
& Infrastructure, held in Athens,
Greece, between 5.7.22 and
7.7.22, with two presentations:
•“Recent advances in
seismic vulnerability
assessment of tunnels and
underground structures” by
Dr. Tsinidis (Link)
•“Multi-hazard fragility
assessment of bridges:
Methodology and case
study application” by Dr.
Stefanidou (Link)
