The behaviour of regular multi-span simply-supported bridges is strongly dependent on the
behaviour of its piers. The response of a pier is governed, in general, by different …

The seismic vulnerability analysis of multi-span bridges can be based on the response of the
piers, provided that deck, bearings and foundations remain elastic. The lateral response of …

In the framework of seismic vulnerability assessment, the displacement-based analytical
approaches allow the investigation of the non-linear response of structures with accuracy …

A seismic vulnerability analysis of a multi-span simply supported bridge is often based on
the seismic response of the most critical pier. This response is influenced by different …

The seismic response of multi-span RC bridges is often based on the response of the piers,
provided that deck, bearings and foundations remain elastic. The seismic response of a RC …

In many countries, seismic-hazard maps were adopted. These maps allow to evaluate the
elastic spectrum shape which defines the reference seismic action. The verification of the …
