Sixth National Seismic Conference on Bridges and Highways: Seismic Technologies for Extreme Loads

The National Seismic Conferences provide dedicated forums for bridge and highway seismic issues. Informational exchange on current national and international bridge and highway seismic-resistant design and retrofit research and practices in all seismic zones is facilitated by the conference series. The conference contained fourteen sessions in which the latest bridge and highway earthquake engineering research and practical information are presented on the following topics: seismic accelerated bridge construction (ABC), new geo-seismic practice and guidelines, emerging seismic design and retrofit technologies, liquefaction and mitigation, evolving bridge seismic specifications and its impact in design - a state's perspective, lessons learned from recent earthquakes and other extreme events, emerging seismic design and retrofit technologies, soil-structure interaction and foundations, design and analysis of major bridges in areas of high or moderate seismicity, seismic instrumentation and monitoring systems, earthquake strategies for protection against other hazards, seismic risk assessment of highway networks, international technologies and practices, effects of near-field earthquakes on bridges, as well as various papers presented in the poster session.
