Simplified seismic design approach for steel portal frame piers with hysteretic dampers.

A simplified seismic design procedure for steel portal frame piers installed with hysteretic dampers is proposed, which falls into the scope of performance-based design philosophy. The fundamental goal of this approach is to design a suite of hysteretic damping devices for existing and new bridge pi...
