ADVANCED ASSESSMENT OF SSI EFFECTS ON THE SEISMIC RESPONSE OF MULTI-SPAN RC GIRDER BRIDGES
The effects of soil-structure interaction (SSI) are usually neglected in the current practice of seismic analysis and design of bridges. The objective of this research study is to assess the significance of SSI for the seismic response of multi span reinforced concrete girder bridges. The focus is on the behaviour of the integrated global bri...
