Nonlinear Seismic Response Analysis of Curved and Skewed Bridge System with Spherical Bearings

A three-dimensional (3D) modeling approach to investigate nonlinear seismic response of a curved and skewed bridge system is proposed. The approach is applied to a three-span curved and skewed steel girder bridge in the United States. The superstructure is modeled using 3D frame elements for the gir...
