Three-dimensional finite element modelling of rocking bridge piers under cyclic loading and exploration of options for increased energy dissipation

The development of rocking in bridge structures has been identified as a valid isolation technique for structures under seismic loading. By utilising uplift in the bridge system, ductility and strength demands can be reduced on the structural element, limiting damage, and reducing residual displacem...
