Three important challenges in the finite element modeling and seismic analysis of a suspension bridge are addressed in this paper. Firstly, since suspension bridges are highly nonlinear geometrically, the construction sequence should be simulated to accurately...

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...
