Seismic Performance of Long-Span Bridges Subjected to Near/Cross Fault Earthquake: Analysis, Design and Assessment
This special issue belongs to the section "Civil Engineering".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entititled “Seismic Performance of Long-Span Bridges Subjected to Near/Cross Fault Earthquake: Analysis, Design and Assessment”, aims to collate a variety of research into topic connected to bridge security.
Research is presented into the characteristics of ground motion caused by different earthquake fault rupture mechanisms and the method for simulating near/cross-seismic fault ground motion. Under complex terrains such as mountain canyons and deep-water areas, the relevant experimental technology, numerical simulation and simplified analysis method of the seismic performance of long-span bridges was subjected to near/cross-seismic fault earthquake excitations. Research is compiled on seismic system and shock-absorbing devices for long-span bridges, taking into consideration near/cross-fault earthquakes excitation. Based on the concept of seismic resilience, the seismic resilience improvement method and novel seismic system of long-span bridges, subjected to near/cross-fault earthquakes excitations, were examined.
