Seismic Analysis of Continuous Rigid Frame Bridge with Energy-Based Modal Pushover Method
, 2010 Energy-based modal pushover analysis method has been proved to be an appropriate approach to perform seismic analysis for structures whose high mode effect is not negligible. It directly establishes the capacity spectrum based on energy increments, which
