Comparative Performance Evaluation of Retrofit Alternatives for Upgrading Simply Supported Bridges Using 3D Fiber-Based Analysis

Comparative Performance Evaluation of Retrofit Alternatives for Upgrading Simply Supported Bridges Using 3D Fiber-Based Analysis

This study aims to select an effective mitigation approach from different alternatives to upgrade substandard RC bridges to meet the seismic performance objectives of current design standards. The performance assessment results for an existing benchmark bridge confirmed that the bent curvature ducti...
