Finite Element Analysis of the Application of Synthetic Fiber Ropes to Reduce Seismic Response of Simply Supported Single Span Bridges
Movement of a bridge superstructure during a seismic event can result in damage to the bridge or even collapse of the span. An incapacitated bridge is a life-safety issue due directly to the damaged bridge and the possible loss of a life-line. A lost bridge can be expensive to repair at a time whe...
