Low-Damage Seismic Design for Accelerated Bridge Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this research, a low-damage seismic design technology has been proposed for accelerated bridge construction (ABC). ABC low damage aims to minimize, and potentially eliminate, damage in a precast bridge during an earthquake. ...
Finite-Element Validation of U-Shaped Flexural Plates Integrated into a Novel Brace Dissipator
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Metallic dissipators have gained considerable attention in the seismic structural design industry in recent years because of their ability to provide stable hysteresis behavior and excellent energy dissipation capacity. ...
A Fully Precast Pier System for Accelerated Bridge Construction in Seismic Regions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: As the demands on the country’s aging infrastructure continue to grow, new methods of construction that prioritize speed of construction, reliability, and environmental impact will have an outsized impact on how the country ...
