The present study focuses on the description and the application of a seismic restrainer system on a large scale bridge of Egnatia Highway for limiting the longitudinal b [...]

In the present study, a mechanism for restraining seismic actions on ductile bridges is suggested and verified analytically and experimentally. The mechanism consists of [...]

In the present study a new technique is investigated, which takes advantage of the rocking principle for the treatment of the two ambivalent demands in bridge designing, [...]

It is widely known that retrofit processes are based on two different retrofit approaches that depend on the treatment of the general safety inequality which requires the [...]

Several researchers propose placing diagonal reinforcing bars at the base of the wall to treat the shear slip, while others have suggested various ways to address this pr [...]

Two cases are examined: The first one examines the possibility of attaining a monolithic connection between deck and piers, in order to avoid using elastomeric bearings a [...]

Common construction practice of cast in-place piers in reinforced concrete bridges presents limitations due to high construction and post-earthquake rehabilitation cost. [...]

Seismic response of R/C bridges is an issue that has been investigated thoroughly the last decades. Many efforts have been conducted towards the enhancement of bridges se [...]

It has been recognized that an isolated deck develops horizontal displacements of considerable amplitude during a strong earthquake. In this case the possibility of mobil [...]
