Implementing energy dissipation braces can be an effective option for mitigating the seismic
damage of double-or multi-column bridge bents. This study compares the relative …

A three-column reinforced concrete bridge bent that did not have reinforcement details
necessary to provide adequate load capacity and displacement ductility was evaluated …

A new method for building seismically resilient bridges is investigated using Accelerated
Bridge Construction (ABC) technologies. A hybrid two-column bridge bent with …

This paper aims to study the benefits of the shear links (SLs) to improve the seismic
resilience of the traditional double-column tall pier after earthquakes. Therefore, a double …

Shear links (SLs) are effective energy dissipation devices for seismic damage mitigation and
resilience improvement of bridges or bridge bents. This study is to assess the influences of …

Excessive residual displacements to the bridge structures were repeatedly observed after
many previous major earthquakes, which may make the bridge structure lose its functionality …

As traditional components used for energy dissipation, buckling-restrained braces (BRBs)
are highly effective in mitigating seismic damage to twin-column tall bents, thereby …

This study assesses the collapse capacity and failure modes of skewed bridges retrofitted
with buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) at the column bent. The asymmetric configuration of …

The seismic resilience-based design of infrastructures is a current hot research topic, and
such design is an extension of the performance-based design philosophy. The seismic …

Structures such as long-span footbridges, floors, and long cantilevers are vulnerable to
vibration serviceability problems under crowd walking, which should be taken into …
