Significance of SSI and nonuniform near-fault ground motions in bridge response I: Effect on response with conventional expansion joint

This paper studies the influence of spatially varying near-source ground motions and soil-structure interaction (SSI) on the relative response of two bridge frames. The spatial ground motions are simulated according to a near-fault ground motion model with different wave apparent velocity and a cohe...
