Typical forms of seismic damage to laminated-rubber-bearing girder bridges in the transverse direction are falling beams, girder displacement, and bearing damage. However, the damage to piers and foundations is generally lighter. This is mainly due to slippage of the bearings. Therefore, we propose a new type of arc-shaped shear key to improve the lateral …

Substructuring tests in a shake table (aka smart shake table tests) are a class of hybrid simulation that involves a shake table test of a physical substructure while the numerical substructure is modeled in a computational program, as shown in Fig. 8.9. A shake table can be used to conduct a hybrid test if its control scheme can interface with ...
Caisson foundations are commonly used as the tower foundations in many long-span bridges. However, the seismic performance analysis of bridge structures using caisson foundations typically assumes that the tower is fixed at the base, applying the free-field ground acceleration to the base. Consequently, the impact of soil–caisson dynamic interaction (SCDI) …
The sand material used for the shaking table test on the laminar box was the Skopje sand, i.e., the same sand analyzed and described in Chap. 2. To calibrate the sand for the shaking table test to the one used in the element testing (which was in much smaller amounts), several standard and triaxial tests were repeated.
