title = "Ductile seismic retrofits of steel deck-truss bridges",
abstract = "Deck-truss bridges designed without consideration of seismic loads may suffer severe damage in the event of a large earthquake. A proposed retrofit solution consists of introducing ductile devicesas {"}structuralfuses{"}to protect both the superstructureand substructureofthese bridges. Ductile panels having suchfuses are designed to replace the end and lower-end panels of decktruss bridges.",
