We studied the seismic optimization of simply supported beam bridges in the V-shaped valley area with large height difference by adopting different branching schemes combined with the selection and matching of rubber bearings to strengthen the equivalent stiffness of br...MORE We studied the seismic optimization of simply supported beam bridges in the V-shaped valley area with large height difference by adopting different branching schemes combined with the selection and matching of rubber bearings to strengthen the equivalent stiffness of bridge piers.The seismic effects are compared and veri...
