Seismic Response Mitigation of a Long-Span Tower Bridge with Two Types of Constraint System by Li Xu, Qingfei Gao, Junhao Zheng, Chuanhui Ding, Kang Liu

“…The results show that the stiffness of the main beam is increased by installing the elastic connection device, so the longitudinal drift frequency of the main beam is increased, but the stiffness of the structure is not changed by installing the viscous damper. Both viscous dampers and elastic connection structures can reduce the longitudinal displacement of the beam end, but viscous dampers are more favorable for the stress of the main tower. …”
