Evaluation of base isolation and soil structure interaction effects on the seismic response of bridges

A continuous formulation to calculate the dynamic stiffness matrix of structural members with distributed masses is presented in detail and verified with some simple examples. The dynamic model of a specific bridge (the Marga-Marga bridge in Chile) was developed using this formulation, and the model...
