Abstract: A liaison program between a university civil engineering department and civil engineers engaged in professional practice can be used to introduce undergraduate students to real engineering problems. A liaison program at ...

Abstract: The 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu (Kobe), Japan earthquake provided the world’s first experience with earthquake damage to new long-span bridges designed to 1990s seismic standards. This paper reviews damage and describes techniques ...

Abstract: The implications of earthquake loading during balanced cantilever construction of a cable-stayed bridge are examined. Finite-element models of a cable-stayed bridge were developed and multiple ground motion time history ...

Abstract: A two‐part analytical model is developed to assist in seismic response analysis of highway bridges that have abutments supported on earth embankments. In the first part of the model, an expression is developed for ...

Abstract: Strong‐motion earthquake data obtained on the Meloland Road Overpass during the 1979 Imperial Valley earthquake are used to examine the suitability of simple models for representing the transverse and vertical stiffnesses ...
