Abstract
Strong motion obtained in instrumental short-span
bridges show the importance of the abutments in the dynamic
response of the whole structure. Many models have been used in
order to take into account the influence of pier foundations
although no reliable ones have been used to analyse the
abutment performance. In this work three-dimensional Boundary
Element models in frequency domain have been proposed and
dimensionless dynamic stiffness of standard bridge abutments
have been obtained.
