Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objectives of 2013 International Conference on Transportation (ICTR2013) are to bring together representatives of transportation engineering , of various institutions, universities, industry and professional associations, to debate and exchange experience on important conference topics. Another main objective of ICTR2013 consists of providing a good networking opportunity to all these groups. The ICTR2013 became a major conference to exchang e new ideas of transportation in Asia researchers and provide a form to present their new results in transportation engineering, vehicle operation engineering, transportation planning, traffic information engineering and control, pavement and bridge engin eering and other related topics. ICTR2013 is held in Xianning, China from December 4 to 6, 2013 sponsored by Shanghai Jiaotong University and DES t ech Publishing Inc. In the first edition of the ICTR2013 189 papers were submitted, 69 of which were accepted . In addition to the authors that were present at the conference, researchers from universities and institutions also send papers. The organizing committee hopes this conference proceedings will provide readers a broad overview of the latest advances on tr ansportation. The organizing committee also believes this conference proceedings would be a good reference for academic researchers and industrial professionals in these fields. The ICTR2013 organizing committee would like to express our sincere appreciat ions to all authors for their contributions to this conference. We would like to extend our thanks to all the referees for their constructive comments on all papers. Finally, we would like to thank DES t ech publishing Inc . for producing this conference proc eeding. We hope you will have a unique, rewarding and enjoyable weekend at ICTR2013 in Xianning, China.

Download or read book Seismic Design and Assessment of Bridges written by Andreas J Kappos and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-04-17 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book focuses on the use of inelastic analysis methods for the seismic assessment and design of bridges, for which the work carried out so far, albeit interesting and useful, is nevertheless clearly less than that for buildings. Although some valuable literature on the subject is currently available, the most advanced inelastic analysis methods that emerged during the last decade are currently found only in the specialised research-oriented literature, such as technical journals and conference proceedings. Hence the key objective of this book is two-fold, first to present all important methods belonging to the aforementioned category in a uniform and sufficient for their understanding and implementation length, and to provide also a critical perspective on them by including selected case-studies wherein more than one methods are applied to a specific bridge and by offering some critical comments on the limitations of the individual methods and on their relative efficiency. The book should be a valuable tool for both researchers and practicing engineers dealing with seismic design and assessment of bridges, by both making the methods and the analytical tools available for their implementation, and by assisting them to select the method that best suits the individual bridge projects that each engineer and/or researcher faces.
