Abstract:In this study, a dynamic centrifuge experiment is designed to investigate the seismic behavior of an existing bridge subjected to the earthquake-induced lateral movement of soft clay soil. The pile-supported bridge abutment at the movable bearing side is modeled at the 1/75 scale. The material and thickness of the soft clay layer are set as the experimental parameters. Under the effect of the lateral movement of the soft clay layer during base shaking, a collision between the bridge abutment wall and the girde… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
