This paper presents a series of shaking table tests of a model bridge to identify the effect of pounding and restrainers. The model bridge was of two span steel decks supported by steel columns. Rubber shock absorbers and cable restrainers were provided at the ends of decks to mitigate the pounding effect. The decks were excited by a shaking table. The test result that presents the effect of poundings between the decks and cable restrainers was analyzed by a nonlinear dynamic response analysis. The impact spring was used to idealize the pounding effect. It was found that good agreement was obtained by the analytical simulation.
