Assessment of Foundation Rocking Behavior in Reducing the Seismic Demand on Horizontally Curved Bridges
… to find ways to mitigate earthquake damage in bridges. One of the ways that has been proposed to achieve this is to permit the foundations to rock. In order to investigate the system effects of rocking foundations, a two-fifth scale, three-span horizontally curved steel plate girder bridge …

Response of Continuous Steel I-Girder Bridges Subject to Temperature Variation
… the superstructure in continuous slab-on-girder bridges must be freely permitted to avoid potential adverse behavior due to the development of thermal forces. The use of fixed and guided bearings can introduce a significant amount of restraint against thermal deformation that, if not accommodated …

Development of Electromagnetic Friction Dampers for Improving Seismic Performance of Civil Structures
… seismic responses of base-isolated buildings and horizontally curved bridges is demonstrated. The numerical results show that the proposed SEMFD is capable of limiting the displacement of the base floor in base-isolated buildings without noticeably increasing the inter-story drifts and absolute …

Análise da distribuição de momento fletor devido a carga móvel em pontes curvas de concreto armado
The structural analysis of bridges with curved longitudinal geometry presents greater complexity than the straight due to the coupling between the bending moment and the torsion moment, leading to the need to use structural members that transmit these forces efficiently. The structural behavior of …

Performance of RC Bridge Columns under Cyclic Combined Loading including Torsion
… bridge columns, specifically in the skewed and horizontally curved bridges, the bridges with unequal spans or column heights, and the bridges with outrigger bents, can be subjected to cyclic combined loading including axial, flexure, shear, and torsion loads during earthquakes. This combined …
