- Abstract
- This second volume of NCEER-94-0002 is an appendix which contains experimental results of the tested bridge model in the non-isolated configuration and the isolated configuration with two flexible piers, as described in volume 1. In the case of the non-isolated bridge, the recorded time history of the deck displacement with respect to the table and the loops of the shear force versus deformation of the north pier are presented. In the case of the isolated bridge, the recorded SW bearing displacement history, the loops of isolation system force versus SW bearing displacement and the loops of shear force versus deformation of the north pier are presented.
