In order to assess the damage condition of bridge components for a large-span rigid bridge in a soft clay site in a mountainous area in China southwest, a finite element model of a large-span rigid bridge is established based on the OpenSees software, and the joint probability density ...
In order to study the effect of ground motion characteristics on the nonlinear seismic response of long-span and high pier bridge, a high-pier and long-span rigid frame bridge was taken as an example, and corresponding nonlinear dynamic model was established based on OPENSEES finite element ...
Six prototype models (three-, six- and nine- stories, each with 2 different damper configurations) were designed using the procedure outlined in [39]. Detailed finite element models were developed in OpenSees [40]. In order to perform the nonlinear dynamic analysis, seven ground motions have ...
Seismic soil pressures developed on a 7 m rigid retaining wall fixed to the bedrock are investigated using a finite element model that engages nonlinear soil intended materials available in OpenSees. This allows incorporation of the inelastic behavior of the soil and wave propagation effects in the...
The probabilistic seismic demand model (e.g., pier and bearing) is analyzed using incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) in the nonlinear finite element software OpenSEES. A comparative analysis is conducted to identify the effect of hydrodynamic pressure on the dynamic response of the bridge. ...
In this study, a series of finite element (FE) dynamic analyses of OpenSees with the Manzari-Dafalias constitutive model and pseudo-static analyses of Plaxis 2D using the Hardening Soil model have been utilised to study the behaviour of MSE walls under seismic loads. With the assumption of ...
This retrofit strategy was applied to a six﹕tory WFB located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. A threeヾimensional nonlinear finite element model of the prototype building was developed using OpenSees. A comprehensive parametric study was conducted to identify the most economical RSC design....

Based on the OpenSees software, the three-dimensional finite element model of the sea-crossing bridge is developed, where the pile-water interaction and pile-soil interaction are simulated by added mass method andp-ycurve method, respectively. The uniform input ground motions are used by applying...
Accordingly, the nonlinear finite element models (FEMs) of the prototype bridges were established by OpenSees. Since the main beam of a bridge generally maintains an elastic state, while the super-high piers are likely to be in an elastic–plastic state, the main beam of the CRFB-FSP was ...
