Abstract:Summary
In the context of developing a real‐time seismic damage assessment technique, this paper proposes a simplified model that accounts for abutment stoppers, focusing on the transverse direction. Detailed 3D finite element models of 4 bridges of the Attiki Odos motorway are developed and used as benchmarks to assess its efficiency. The selected bridges vary in length, pier typologies, clearances, and pier‐deck connections. The simplified model entails a SDOF system of a pier, with assemblies of gap element… Show more
