Assessment of modal-pushover-based scaling procedure for nonlinear response history analysis of ordinary standard bridges Assessment of modal-pushover-based scaling procedure for nonlinear response history analysis of ordinary standard bridges
The earthquake engineering profession is increasingly utilizing nonlinear response history analyses (RHA) to evaluate seismic performance of existing structures and proposed designs of new structures. One of the main ingredients of nonlinear RHA is a set of ground motion records representing the expected hazard environment for the structure. When recorded motions do not exist (as is the...
