APPLICATION EFFECT OF SHEAR PANEL DAMPERS TO SEISMIC RETROFIT OF A NETWORK ARCH BRIDGE
Abstract
This article describes seismic response control design using shear panel dampers for a network arch bridge. Three-dimensional non-linear dynamic time history analyses were carried out considering site-specific earthquake ground motions, to examine the correlation between shear panel damper arrangements and seismic response reductions. Different effects on seismic response reduction were significantly confirmed by the shear panel damper arrangements, and also compared between two arch bridges with different natural periods.
