Abstract: This study aims at developing appropriate multilevel performance classification of tall RC bridge piers for seismic design. A new performance classification toward postearthquake rehabilitation requirements is presented. ...

Abstract: Energy dissipation bearing (EDB) is a conventional steel bridge bearing in connection with well designed mild steel dampers. Seismic performance test was undertaken for both damper units and a prototype bearing, and the ...

Abstract: This paper primarily introduces a new lateral isolation system proposed for the seismic control of a long-span cable-stayed bridge, namely, the Yongning Yellow River Bridge, with high seismic activity and a heavyweight ...

Abstract: This work focused on the damping effectiveness of additional longitudinal viscous dampers employed for seismic control of long-span cable-stayed bridges considering wave passage effects. A 1/35-scale physical model scaled ...

Abstract: To accelerate bridge construction, U-bar details were proposed to connect the adjacent precast box girders and replace the original welded-loop details in longitudinal joint design. Static loading tests were conducted, and ...
