Effect of nonlinearity of restrainer and supports on the elasto-plastic seismic response of continuous girder bridge [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2014 During an earthquake, the nonlinearity of the bridge structure mainly occurs at the supports, bridge piers and restrainers. When entering nonlinear stage, members of the bridge structure affect the elasto-plastic seismic response of the whole structure ...
