Longitudinal Seismic Mitigation and Response Asymmetry of a High-Pier Long-Span Stiff-Skeleton Arch Bridge with Fluid Viscous Dampers

The longitudinal seismic response of a high-pier long-span stiff-skeleton arch bridge is spatially asymmetric because unequal pier heights, the fixed–movable bearing arrangement, and arch–pier interaction create nonuniform force transfer paths, even when the installed fluid viscous dampers (FVDs) obey a symmetric veloc...
