Experimental study on relative displacement responses of bridge frames subjected to spatially varying ground motion and its mitigation using superelastic SMA restrainers

Contemporary bridge codes recommend adjusting the fundamental frequencies of adjacent segments close to each other to mitigate relative displacement induced damages arising during the strong seismic events. Previous studies revealed that such recommendation leads to effective mitigation of damages o...
