Seismic Behavior of Posttensioned Concrete Bridge Piers with External Viscoelastic Dampers
This paper investigates the seismic performance of posttensioned concrete piers with external viscoelastic dampers to improve the energy dissipation capacity of this type of structure. An installation scheme for viscoelastic dampers on bridge piers is proposed, and the mechanical models of the dampe...
