Abstract: | The applicability of different pushover methods was analyzed on the example of a bridge, which was experimentally tested on three shake tables at the University of Nevada, Reno. The response of the bridge was quite complex. The intensity as well as the direction of the deck torsional rotations varied significantly, depending on the seismic intensity. At the low intensities, all the employed pushover methods estimated the displacements of the deck very well. In the case of strong earthquakes, the advantages of multi-mode and adaptive methods was demonstrated. |
