Abstract: Elastomeric isolation bearings exhibit complex coupled horizontal-vertical behavior. Most existing macroscopic models simulate the quasistatic test results well but have deficiencies in simulating the dynamic behavior of ...

Abstract: Long-span continuous reinforced-concrete rigid-frame bridges are sensitive to the shrinkage and creep of concrete and the relaxation of prestressing tendons and have experienced problems related to serviceability loss ...

Abstract: Damping effects are crucial for accurately simulating the dynamic behavior of elastomeric bearings under multiaxial excitations. Most existing macroscopic models only incorporate the horizontal and vertical damping effects ...
