Abstract:
The research described in this paper considers the effect of dynamic response on lightweight concrete bridge members as related to shear and flexural behavior. A series of shake-table tests were conducted and the results presented that provide further support for a previous study by the authors on the cyclic behavior of lightweight concrete bridges.
