Abstract: This paper presents a design method based on a parametric study by Turkington (1987) of the response of bridge superstructures supported on leadrubber bearings and subjected to the 1940 E1 Centra (N‐S component) and Parkfield ...

Abstract: This paper reports on a parametric study of the response of bridge superstructures supported on lead‐rubber bearings when subjected to the 1940 El Centro earthquake (N‐S component) and the 1966 Parkfield earthquake. The ...

Abstract: A reasonable understanding of the cyclic behavior of reinforcing steel is required to accurately estimate the performance of reinforced concrete members subjected to cyclic deformations beyond the elastic range such as ...
