GIRS 2023-11: Influence of Ground Motion Selection and Scaling Approaches on Seismic Performance Assessment of Bridges

GIRS 2023-11: Influence of Ground Motion Selection and Scaling Approaches on Seismic Performance Assessment of Bridges

By: Esra Zengin, Saiid Saiidi, Yousef Bozorgnia
DOI: 10.34948/N3Z30Q

This study aims to investigate the impact of different ground motion selection and scaling (GMSS) approaches on the seismic response assessment of bridge structures. Nonlinear response history analyses (NRHAs) are conducted on a typical three-span bridge located in five sites across California.
