Experimental and numerical studies of the seismic behavior of a steel-concrete composite rigid-frame bridge subjected to the surface rupture at a thrust fault

•Shake table tests on a SCCRFB subjected to a thrust fault rupture are performed.•Detailed 3D finite element model of the bridge is developed by using LS-DYNA.•The bridge responses and damages are analysed in detail.•The effects of fault rupture location, fault-crossing angle and fling-step are inve...
