This paper investigates the alternative strategy of suppressing ground-induced vibrations
with supplemental rotational inertia. The proposed concept employs a rack-pinion-flywheel …

This paper investigates the rocking response of a slender column that is vertically restrained
with an elastic tendon that passes through its centerline. Following a variational formulation …

This paper investigates the rocking response and stability analysis of an array of slender
columns caped with a rigid beam which are vertically restrained with elastic prestressed …

The vertical vibration of suspension bridges with a damage in the main cables is studied
using a continuum formulation. Starting from a model for damaged suspended cables …

Seismic isolation is a commonly used technique for protecting new and existing bridges. It
usually consists of introducing isolation bearings between the superstructure and the …

The experimental and numerical response of crane bridges is studied in this work. To this
end, an experimental campaign on a scale model of an overhead crane bridge was carried …

This paper analyzes the dynamic behaviour of continuous bridges with transverse abutment
restraint. These are a particular class of multi‐span bridges whose transverse motion is …

The present paper proposes a partially restrained seismic isolation (PRSI) system to retrofit
existing continuous girder reinforced concrete (RC) bridges. It involves a pure-friction system …

A base isolation system placed within a structure for seismic protection will perform
differently in the presence of soil-structure-interaction phenomena, as compared to the case …

Current analysis procedures for seismically isolated bridges frequently use an equivalent
(approximate) linearization approach to represent the response of nonlinear …
