A Microscale Framework for Seismic Stability Analysis of Bridge Pier Rocking Isolation Using the Discrete Element Method

This study presents a microscale framework for investigating the seismic stability of bridge-pier structures using the discrete element method (DEM), with a focus on rocking isolation mechanisms. The piers and the deck are modeled as rigid blocks that follow rigid body dynamics. The rigid block is m...
