Shear failure of RC columns due to insufficient termination of main reinforcements resulted in extensive damage in bridges. Failure mechanism of a column with termination [...]

This study shows an analysis on the effect of seismic torsion for the performance of a skew bridge. A nonlinear torsional hysteretic model developed by Tirasit and Kawash [...]

This paper introduces a large scale shake table experimental program on bridge structures using E-Defense. The program was formulated as one of the US-Japan cooperative r [...]

This paper represents an analysis of a 3-span simply supported bridge considering the effect of failure of elastomeric bearings. It is known from the analysis that elasto [...]

Seismic performance of RC rectangular columns was clarified in comparison with interlocking spiral columns based on a shake table experiment as a part of NEES and E-Defen [...]

The semiactive control system applied to a nonlinear isolated bridge with a magneto-rheological (MR) damper controlled by an improved sliding mode control algorithm is su [...]

This paper presents a large scale shake table experiment on a reinforced concrete bridge column conducted using E-Defense in December 2007. The model was a typical column [...]

Experimental studies were conducted by some researchers to investigate the cyclic performance of CFSretrofitted columns; however there is a need to develop analytical met [...]
