Site effects on the seismic response of a suspension bridge
Abstract
The free-field surface motions in a hypothetical sedimentary valley are calculated and applied to the supports of the Humber suspension bridge in the UK. The purpose is to analyse the dynamic response of the bridge to spatially varying.longitudinal excitations at its supports. The support motions differ in amplitude and frequency due to variations in soil patterns of amplification at different valley sites. Two soil categories with soft and …
