Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides specific procedures for the seismic design of bridge foundations and abutments based on hand-calculation methods using design charts and computer methods. This report supplements the "Seismic Design Guidelines for Highway Bridges" published as a design specification by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in 1983. Design procedures are presented for footings, piles, drilled shafts, and abutments. Comments on site investigation procedures and in situ and laboratory testing are also provided in relation to determination of site soil parameters for analyses. Additional comments are provided on earthquake-induced liquefaction and slope stability as they affect bridge foundation design. The selected design procedures were verified by comparing analytical predictions with experimental data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 440, Performance-Based Seismic Bridge Design (PBSD) summarizes the current state of knowledge and practice for PBSD. PBSD is the process that links decision making for facility design with seismic input, facility response, and potential facility damage. The goal of PBSD is to provide decision makers and stakeholders with data that will enable them to allocate resources for construction based on levels of desired seismic performance"--Publisher's description.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With recent seismic activity and earthquakes in Alaska and throughout the Pacific Rim, seismic design is becoming an increasingly important public safety concern for highway bridge designers. Hoping to generate knowledge that can improve the seismic design of highway bridges in Alaska, researchers from the University of Alaska plan to test a fixity depth approach and a lateral resistance (p-y) approach in seismic bridge design. Currently, the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (ADOTandPF) utilizes soil lateral resistance in the seismic design of bridge pile foundations. Knowledge about lateral resistance of frozen soils, particularly seasonally frozen soils at shallow depths, will help improve pile foundation design in cold regions such as Alaska. Researchers Zhaohui Yang and Anthony Paris are conducting laboratory experiments to examine key mechanical parameters for the frozen soils used to construct the p-y curve for modeling frozen soils. Although there have been studies on the mechanical properties of frozen soils, existing studies were based on remolded, artificially frozen soil samples, which do not necessarily represent the soil in the field. How much impact these disturbances have on the frozen soil strength and stress-strain behavior is not clear. Additionally there is a lack of studies of the stress-strain behavior at small strains based on naturally frozen samples. Yang and Paris hope to fill this knowledge gap by providing key frozen soil parameters for typical Alaska soils. These key soil parameters, Yang and Paris claim, are needed for predicting the formation and location of plastic hinges, and internal loads in bridge pilings embedded in frozen soils during seismic loading. The team will use this developing knowledge to conduct a bridge design engineers workshop to discuss their findings and how to apply them in the seismic design of bridges.

Book excerpt: This executive summary gives an overview of the results of FHWA Contract DTFH61 92 C 00112, Seismic Research Program, which performed a series of special studies addressing the seismic design of new construction. The objectives of this project were to perform a series of special studies pertaining to the seismic vulnerability of highway structures, and to develop technical information on which future specifications for the seismic design of bridges could be based. This project divided work into 5 areas and 13 tasks, focusing on the following elements: review of current seismic design criteria, the seismic hazard exposure of the American highway system, foundation design and soil behavior, structural design, structural analysis and response, the relative importance of specific bridges and an assessment of the impact of current and recently completed research. The Seismic Research Program had a national focus, and aimed in part to address the differences in seismicity, bridge types, and typical design details between the central and eastern United States (CEUS) and those previously studied in California and the western United States. In many cases, west coast design practices required considerable modification before implementation in the CEUS. The project resulted in 34 research reports, of which 31 are summarized in this document. Seventeen of the reports have been published as National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (NCEER) or Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER) reports. The research agencies final reports for the other taks are available from MCEER upon request.
