Time history analysis is a method used in structural engineering to simulate the behavior of a structure under dynamic loads over time. It is particularly useful for balanced cantilever bridges with distances greater than 150 m between expansion joints. The results can provide valuable insights into the structure’s behavior under dynamic loads, helping engineers optimize design and ensure it can withstand future loads. This study aims to develop a model for a balanced cantilever bridge in MIDAS Civil and explore its non-linear behavior using time history analysis for seismic forces. The results show that displacements in the longitudinal direction are higher than in the transverse direction in both NLTHA and ERSM. The maximum displacement at the pier top end for the El-Centro 1940 earthquake was about 90% more than those obtained by ERSM analysis. The nonlinear time history analysis also shows a 60% higher torsional response than the Elastic response spectrum method.
