Historical masonry arch bridges which might be vulnerable to natural disasters are important part of the cultural heritage. Natural disasters, especially earthquakes can inflict damage these structural systems. This paper aims investigate a comparison effects near and far-fault ground motions on seismic response under different earthquakes. Kalender bridge is located in Ergani, Turkey selected ...

The isolation technique is widely studied and applied in structural engineering due to its excellent seismic performance. However, the existing research mostly focuses on conventional structure under action of regular ground motions. In this paper, a story-adding structure, base-isolated isolated were simulated by using numerical simulation methods. dynamic response characteristics three struct...

Typically, to study the effects of consecutive earthquakes, it is necessary to consider definite intensity levels of the first shock. Methods commonly used to define intensity involve scaling the first shock to a specified maximum interstorey drift. In this study the structure’s predefined elastic spectral acceleration caused by the first shock is also considered for scaling. This study aims to...
