The present work offers a comprehensive overview of methods related to condition assessment of bridges through Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) procedures, with a particular interest on aspects of seismic assessment. Established techniques pertaining to different levels of the SHM hierarchy, reflecting increasing detail and complexity, are first outlined. A significant portion of this review work is then devoted to the overview of computational intelligence schemes across various aspects of bridge condition assessment, including sensor placement and health tracking. The paper concludes with illustrative examples of two long-span suspension bridges, in which several instrumentation aspects and assessments of seismic response issues are discussed.

Aftershocks can cause additional damage or even lead to the collapse of structures already weakened by a mainshock. Scarcity of in-situ recorded aftershock accelerograms heightens the need to develop synthetic aftershock ground motions. These synthesized motions are crucial for assessing the cumulative seismic demand on structures subjected to mainshock-aftershock sequences.

In this study, two novel hybrid intelligent models were developed to evaluate the short-term rockburst using the random forest (RF) method and two meta-heuristic algorithms, whale optimization algorithm (WOA) and coati optimization algorithm (COA), for hyperparameter tuning. Real-time predictive models of this phenomenon were created using a database comprising 93 case histories, taking into account various microseismic parameters. The results indicated that the WOA achieved the highest overall performance in hyperparameter tuning for the RF model, outperforming the COA.

Induced earthquakes are manifestations of highly heterogeneous distributions of effective stress changes imparted by anthropogenic activities such as hydraulic fracturing and wastewater injection. It is critical to disentangle the mechanisms behind these earthquakes to better assess seismic risk. Here, a clustering methodology is applied to a catalog of 21,536 induced earthquakes detected during a 36-d hydraulic stimulation program in Western Canada.

The composition of hydraulic fracturing (HF) fluid poses risks to human health and the environment by impacting drinking water sources. Fracturing fluid recovery rate is highly variable, and the fact that a high percentage of the injected HF fluid is not produced back to the surface in some areas raises questions about its fate and possible migration into aquifers. In this paper, the composition of the HF fluid and related toxicity are described, along with insights about the environmental impact linked with HF fluid, synthesized spill data, main factors affecting the flow-back ratio, and induced seismicity related to HF activities.

Enhancement of dynamic characteristics of sand through bio-cementation is one of the prospective ground improvement techniques for sustainable development considering seismic loading scenarios. Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) has already been established as an efficient and low-cost and sustainable bio-cementation technique. In the present study, engineering characteristics of poorly graded standard Ennore sand of India have been improved through the bio-cementation effects of Sporosarcina pasteurii bacteria using the MICP technique.
