Several earthquakes over the past two decades have demonstrated that bridges crossing
fault rupture zones may suffer significant damage due to the combined effects of ground …

Under the background of strategy impetus of building a strong transportation country, the
construction of bridges across active faults is an inevitable challenge in the development of …

The behavior of base-isolated buildings under near-fault (NF) ground motions with fling-step
and forward-directivity characteristics is investigated using three-dimensional nonlinear …

Past earthquakes have demonstrated that fault-crossing bridges were susceptible to
damage or even collapse. This study focused on investigating the effects of fault rupture on …

Bridge structures across active faults suffer the serious threats from large surface
deformation and velocity pulses. This study focuses on developing a multi-criteria optimizing …

Surface ruptures resulting from seismic faulting have the potential to inflict substantial
damage to bridges straddling fault lines; hence, it is imperative to investigate the impact of …

This study investigates the nonlinear seismic responses of a long-span suspension bridge
crossing strike-slip faults and their sensitivity to various parameters and conditions. Four sets …

The new steel–concrete composite rigid-frame bridge (SCCRFB) with concrete-filled double
skin steel tube (CFDST) piers has been verified showing superior seismic performance, and …

Although seismic performance of bridges crossing fault-rupture zones has been studied in
recent two decades, there is still no effective solution to mitigate the hazard of fault-crossing …

Bridges crossing active faults are more likely to suffer serious damage or even collapse due
to the wreck capabilities of near-fault pulses and surface ruptures under earthquakes …
