Fast Foundation for Soft Clay
This article describes the detailed foundation work and high-capacity piling design for a flue gas desulfurization (FGD) retrofit system for the Lambton Generation Station in Ontario,...

Seismic Design Criteria for Transporation Structures
Presented is a discussion focusing on two critical issues which must be resolved when setting seismic design criteria for important transportation structures such as those supporting elevated...

Analytical Platform Development for Precast Structural Systems
The multi-investigator PRESS (Precast Seismic Structural Systems) research project requires an analysis tool that can be used to perform nonlinear seismic analyses of a wide variety of...

Design Criteria for Seismic Connections in Precast Concrete
The seismic behavior of precast concrete is contrasted with that of cast-in-place and the conditions that precast must satisfy are reviewed. Design criteria and possible strategies for...

Seismic Performance Behavior of Precast Concrete Beam-Column Joints
The experimental test program being conducted at the National Institute of Standards and Technology on 1/3-scale model precast concrete beam-to-column connections is summarized. The objective...

Simulated Earthquake Ground Motions for Design Purpose
In this paper, firstly, it was clarified that there is a case where in the long-period range there is seen a tendency to follow the ?+-2$/ model approximately while in the short-period...

Inelastic Behavior and Seismic Design of a Highway Shield Tunnel
Nonlinear behavior of shield tunnels required for seismic design by means of Seismic Deformation Method is presented based on dynamic loading tests. Application of the test results to...

Rocking Behavior and Retrofit of Tall Bridge Piers
In the aftermath of the damage to the San Francisco Oakland Bay bridge, due to the 1989 earthquake, a comprehensive study of the seismic behavior of the bridge was undertaken. This paper...

Assessment and Testing of Column Lap Splices for the Santa Monica Viaduct Retrofit
This paper describes assessment and the full-scale test of a 3 ft. (914 mm) dia. column containing #11 (34.9 mm dia.) reinforcing steel lap-spliced in the critical region. The column modelled...

Seismic Performance and Retrofit of the Golden Gate Bridge
The Golden Gate Bridge has served for over fifty years as a vital transportation link connecting San Francisco with the area to the north. The Bridge is owned, operated, and maintained...

Seismic Design Considerations for Uplifted Tanks
An evaluation of the most commonly used seismic design procedures for unanchored tanks is presented. It is noted that current standards are inconsistent in predicting the behavior of unanchored...

Input for Seismic Design of Major Structures
Effective seismic input considering the soil-structure interaction or soil-pile-structure interaction is presented. This approach takes the seismic wave as primitive input and considers...

Nonlienar Seismic Response Analysis of Shanghai Yangpu Bridge
The Yangpu Bridge is a long-span composite cable-stayed Bridge in which the superstructures is designed as a floating system to withstand the strong earthquakes. The nonlinear seismic...

Response of Isolated Structures to Recent California Earthquakes
A significant amount of research and development, shake table testing computer modelling and real world applications have been performed with the seismic isolation design concept in the...

Response of Base Isolated Buildings in Japan to Recent Earthquakes
On February 2nd in 1992, more than 20 base isolated buildings in Tokyo experienced an earthquake of JMA seismic intensity 5. In this event, many acceleration records of isolated buildings...

Large-Scale Earthquake Simulator Study of the Tohoku University Base-Isolated Building
This paper describes a series of earthquake simulator tests of a 1/2.5-scale, base-isolated, three-story, reinforced-concrete building. Three different types of elastomeric seismic isolation...

Building Separation Rules to Avoid Seismic Pounding
A method to estimate the required separation to preclude pounding between adjacent buildings is presented. It accounts for the effect of yielding on the vibration phase of adjacent buildings....

Improved Torsional Analysis Procedure for Single Story Structures Subjected to Seismic Motion
An analytical procedure is developed that enables designers utilizing the UBC planar lateral force procedure to accurately account for the additional lateral response due to torsion without...

Displacement Amplification Factor for Seismic Design Provisions
To estimate the maximum roof and story drifts occurring during severe earthquakes, the UBC and NEHRP use 3R_w/8 and C_d...

Data Base for Seismis Rick Assessment in Mexico City
We describe a model to estimate expected ground motions and expected damage, based on intensity damage relations derived for 14 classes of buildings representative of Mexico City construction....
