Abstract: This paper studies the dynamic seismic behavior of a typical highway bridge in New York State. The topological layout and structural details of this multispan simply supported steel-girder bridge are identified as the most ...

Abstract: This paper presents the seismic fragility analysis of a typical multispan simply supported steel bridge in New York State. A detailed description of the bridge model including an analysis of parameter uncertainties was ...

Abstract: Various retrofit measures, such as elastomeric bearings, lead-rubber bearings, viscous dampers, and jacketing with carbon fibers, are commonly used to improve the seismic performance of multispan continuous steel highway ...

Abstract: There have been several new approaches and advances in sensing technologies for monitoring long-term durability of the infrastructure. With the use of new materials (such as fiber reinforced polymers, stainless steel and ...
