Mitigating Seismic Vulnerability in Pedestrian Overpasses With Partial Span Removal: A Numerical Investigation Into Bonded Steel Plate Strengthening

Shock and Vibration, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Urban infrastructure expansion often necessitates the partial demolition of existing pedestrian bridges, posing significant challenges to their seismic structural integrity. In this context, finite element analysis (FEA) was employed to evaluate the seismic performance of a specific pedestrian bridge.
