The method is developed on the basis of the numerical examinations of 6 upper-deck steel arch bridge models. It employs free vibration analysis, response spectrum method and equal energy assumption for the estimation of maximum out-of-plane response. Correction functions are proposed to modify the estimates by the equal energy assumption. In the current study, applicability of the same procedure to the estimation of maximum in-plane response is discussed. It is found that the method can be used also for the maximum in-plane response estimation by only modifying the pushover analysis procedure. The validity of the method is demonstrated for the same parametric models through further numerical evaluations., Engineering Structures, 31(9), pp.2209-2212; 2009}, pages = {2209--2212}, title = {Expansion of a static analysis-based out-of-plane maximum inelastic seismic response estimation method for steel arch bridges to in-plane response estimation}, volume = {31}, year = {2009} }
