Continuous girder bridges for high-speed railway (HSR) are increasingly used to overcome
undulating terrain and to provide a flat surface for high-speed travel. Only a few dynamic …

This work focused on the damping effectiveness of additional longitudinal viscous dampers
employed for seismic control of long-span cable-stayed bridges considering wave passage …

Many very large bridges with high piers and long spans are under rapid construction in
mountainous regions especially in Western China. However, the current seismic design …

This study investigates the nonlinear seismic responses of a long-span suspension bridge
crossing strike-slip faults and their sensitivity to various parameters and conditions. Four sets …

The focus of this study is the impact of the seismic excitation direction on the fragility of
horizontally curved bridges. Nonlinear time history analyses are performed on a typical …

Rocking piers can limit the seismic damage and residual displacement under strong
earthquakes to maintain the post-earthquake serviceability of bridges. This article presents …

This study focused on the influence of SVGM on the vulnerability of an ultra-high tower cable-
stayed bridge. Components and system vulnerability analysis of the bridge with longitudinal …

A series of shaking table tests were conducted on a soil site model and tunnel (Zhoutouzui
immersed tunnel of Guangzhou in China) model under uniform seismic excitation. Details of …

It is well-known that curved bridges are vulnerable to girder unseating during strong
earthquakes. This is mainly attributed to its irregular geometry and seismic pounding. In this …

Identical ground motion excitations at all supports are typically assumed in practice for the
design and seismic analysis of structures. Such assumption is customarily made despite the …
