Influence of Abutment Stiffness and Strength on the Seismic Response of Horizontally Curved RC Bridges in Comparison with Equivalent Straight Bridges at Different Seismic Intensity Levels
Seismic design codes have imposed some limitations on the maximum subtended angle of curved bridges and allow engineers to analyze and design them using an equivalent straight bridge. This paper investigates these limitations and evaluates the AASHTO code recommendations regarding the prediction of...
