Abstract
The 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu Earthquake has emerged the necessity of highway system in function as a lifeline even after main shock. Therefore, many research works have been carried out in order to evaluate the response of elevated bridges under severe ground motions. Carried out herein is a shaking table test on scaled elevated bridge model, consisting of three single span elevated bridges. The bridge model was shake in the direction of the bridge axis and the effect of pounding between the adjacent girders on the global response is focused. In addition, the validity of the response analysis available currently is assessed by comparing to the experimental results.
