Abstract:It has been recognized that an isolated deck develops horizontal displacements of considerable amplitude during a strong earthquake. In this case the possibility of mobilizing the abutments in moderating such large amplitude horizontal response is beneficial for the safety of the structure. Thus, apart from lowering the seismic forces by the low-stiffness isolator units, the interaction between the deck and the abutments in the form of pounding for large horizontal deck response amplitudes aims at limiting thr… Show more
