Seismic response analysis of multiple-frame bridges with unseating restrainers considering ground motion spatial variation and SSI

Unseating damages of bridge decks have been observed in many previous major earthquakes due to large relative displacement exceeding the available seat length. Steel cable restrainers are often used to limit such relative displacements. Present restrainer design methods are based on the relative dis...
