Seismic Response and Analytical Fragility Functions for Curved Concrete Box-Girder Bridges
Curved bridges are constructed to conform to geometric constraints resulting from traffic and structural restrictions. They are different from their straight counterparts since the response coupling in the longitudinal and transverse directions and rotation of the superstructure may lead to …

SuperLoad Crossing of Millard Avenue Bridges Over Duck Creek and CSX Railroad
A series of superloads crossed the Millard Avenue Bridges which span over Duck Creek and the CSX railroad. These bridges are located in Toledo and Oregon, Ohio, on the route from the Port of Toledo to a nearby oil refinery. The bridge over Duck Creek is a three span straight slab-on- steel girder …

Seismic Analysis and Response of Highway Bridges with Hybrid Isolation
… to (full) seismic isolation for minimizing bridge damage in strong earthquakes. In this technique isolators are only used at the abutments, and monolithic or pinned connections remain at the piers. Both full and hybrid isolation can be shown to reduce the demand on critical members such as …

Multi-axial real-time hybrid simulation framework for testing nonlinear structure systems with multiple boundary interfaces
… testing environment involving a multi-span curved bridge structure. In this second example, two LBCBs are utilized for testing of two physical piers, and excitation is applied bi-directionally. Results from the illustrative examples are verified against numerical simulations. The results …
