Assessment of modeling sensitivity for nonlinear seismic analysis of highway bridges in Illinois
… only considered regular bridges and a simplified abutment model. The structural performance of these models was assessed for various hazard levels by using a suite of synthetic ground motions based on representative seismic records of the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ), a geographical region that …

Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of As-Built and Retrofitted Multi-Frame Box-Girder Bridges
… without inducing large forces. These bridge types are categorized as multi-frame bridges because in-span hinges divide the structure into separate frames. There is a significant amount of evidence to suggest that adjacent frames often vibrate out of phase during strong earthquakes. Therefore, …

Torsional Ground Motion Effects on the Seismic Response of Continuous Box-girder Highway Bridges
… seismic response characteristics under various types of ground motions. Undoubtedly, investigations relating to both structural components as well as the strong ground motion characteristics play major roles in providing reliable design guidelines for highway bridges. It is generally accepted …
