A Finite Element (FE) model which can precisely predict the actual dynamic responses of a bridge is necessary for accurate condition assessment and health monitoring purposes.   However, most of the bridge FE models initially developed ...

The results of three full-scale lateral load tests of cast-in-drilled-hole RC piles are evaluated to provide insights into the soil-pile interaction behavior as represented by p-y curves (p 5 soil reaction/length; y 5 lateral pile deflection) spanning from elastic...
