Hi,
I am starting to use seismostruct to design curvature bridge with rubber bearing. From physical test and fea, I can get properties such as vertical stiffness, horizontal stiffness and equivalent damping. How to applied these properties in seismostruct if i used link element?
If I applied;
F1 - vertical stiffnesss-lin_sym
F2 - hoizontal stiffness- lin_sym
f3 - horizontal stiffness- lin_sym
is it correct? or is there any better way?
Thanks

Re: bridge with rubber bearing
Please refer to the files of the verification report that are included in the installation. There you will find several examples of link elements
