    The document discusses bridges with variable slopes up to 10% and the effect of pounding under earthquakes. Recent studies have shown that rocking at the foundation-soil interface can dissipate energy through hysteresis and decrease the response of bridges during earthquakes, such as occurred in the Kobe Earthquake of 1995 and Chi-Chi Earthquake of 1999.

    Background

    In some of the places, the slope of the bridge is usually


    variable, even can reach to 10%. Under this situation, the
    effect of pounding can be quite apparent.
    Recent studies have shown that the rocking effect can
    dissipate the energy in hysteresis at the foundation-soil
    interface. Thus the response of the bridge can be decreased.
