A Superelastic Retrofitting Method for Mitigating the Effects of Seismic Excitations on Irregular Bridges

Irregularities in bridge pier stiffness concentrate the ductility demand on short piers; while not operating on the longer and more flexible ones. The existence of non-uniform, ductility demand distribution in bridges significantly influences seismic response. As such, this paper proposes a new appr...
