Regularity classification and corresponding analysis method requirements of horizontally curved bridges with unequal pier heights
The seismic behavior of horizontally curved bridges, particularly with unequal height piers, is more complicated than that of straight bridges due to...

Effects of soil spatial variability on the seismic response of multi-span simply-supported highway bridges
Soil exhibits inherent spatial variability, creating a significant source of uncertainty in geotechnical assessments. This variability becomes...
-
Effect of model data availability on scour risk of bridges
Access to detailed data sets which can enable detailed hydraulic modelling of the river around a bridge structure is not always possible and may...

A method for linear response analysis of long bridges under multi-support seismic excitation
The study of the seismic response of long bridges under non-uniform seismic excitation date back to the early 80 s. So far, many methods have been...

Application of buckling-restrained braces in the seismic control of suspension bridges
Buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) are widely used to improve the seismic performance of buildings. This paper aims to introduce BRBs to suspension...

Seismic response characteristics and whiplash effect mechanism of continuous rigid-frame bridges subjected to near-fault ground motions
Continuous rigid-frame bridges (CRFBs) have been widely constructed in high seismicity areas in western China. To investigate the seismic response...

The effect of rupture directivity, distance and skew angle on the collapse fragilities of bridges
Directivity of fault ruptures modifies the ground motion in the direction of rupture (forward directivity) to have large amplitude shorter duration...
-
Seismic fragility analysis of bridges by relevance vector machine based demand prediction model
A relevance vector machine (RVM) based demand prediction model is explored for efficient seismic fragility analysis (SFA) of a bridge structure. The...

Evaluation of vertical impact factor coefficients for continuous and integral railway bridges under high-speed moving loads
In the railway bridge analysis and design method, dynamic train loads are regarded as static loads enhanced by an impact factor (IF). The IF...

Evaluation of level of service based on qualitative analysis and determination of factors affecting capacity in railway foot over-bridges
Pedestrians are integral components of railway stations with most of the movement occurring within the premise of stations. Various facilities are...
