Seismic Response of a Cable-Stayed Bridge considering Non-uniform Excitation Effect: Model Design and Shake Table Testing

In the absence of intensive tests on the cable-stayed bridges under non-uniform excitation, this study provides a practical and accurate approach to investigate the seismic response of cable-stayed bridges considering spatially varying earthquake inputs. The cable-stayed bridge model with a scale ratio of 1:120 was designed and tested on a newly-developed dual shake table system. Firstly, the modal test was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of...
