Abstract
Nondestructive evaluation techniques can be used for condition assessment of structures after an extreme event such as earthquake or blast in order to obtain information about the overall integrity of the structure. The aim of this study is to present an approach for rapid identification of the critical components to inspect or monitor after an extreme event. The methodology is based on reliability importance of components within a system. The importance ranking of components is different under various loading conditions. The methodology is illustrated by using a truss bridge under blast. The critical components for condition assessment are identified.
