Analytical approach for the earthquake performance evaluation of repaired/retrofitted RC bridge piers using time-dependent element
In order to evaluate the seismic performance of damaged reinforced concrete members, particularly bridge piers, an inelastic time-dependent element is proposed. The proposed element enables increased character...
