This thesis aims to assess the behavior of continuous box girder bridges, when different types of seismic isolation and energy dissipation systems are used, considering the effect of the transverse seismic shear keys and ...

The need to bridge large gaps as rivers and streams, begins the construction of bridges to help move these and other obstacles. Construction techniques have led us to develop in the rocks formed by ancient bridges and ...

This study aims at assessing the seismic behavior of piles of cable-stayed bridges for different deck-pile connections. A comparison of the response is performed for four different types of connections between the deck and ...

In this work we intend to estimate the efficiency and characteristics of the hysteretic systems of passive control in irregular bridges by means of a nonlinear static analysis. This paper aims to evaluate the characteristics ...

t has been observed during recent strong earthquakes, that pounding and/or unseating of continuous bridges frames and simple supported span beams at in-span expansion joints is one of the biggest problems. The unseating ...

Mexico is a country where violent tectonic unfortunate cases that has left its people in distress , causing material damage are the least worrying to the human misery they have caused is characterized . In our country we ...

The principal rehabilitation techniques were studied for vertical loads and seismic actions and major respetivamente advantage and disadvantages of each technique were evaluated. Finally the proposed bridges similar to ...
