Abstract
As part of the Strong-Motion Instrumentation Program in California (CSMIP), several bridge structures have been instrumented to record
accelerations for the duration of each earthquake event that strikes. The subject of this paper is the investigation of the measured
and calculated responses of the heavily instrumented 10-span connector bridge (53-2795F) at the 5/14 Interchange, subjected to a recorded
earthquake. A detailed computer model of the bridge structure was developed, allowing comparisons to measured response quantities for many
of the 42 sensor locations. In order to compare measured and computed results it was necessary to develop global axes that were common to
both the bridge model and structure instrumentation.
