PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRD U.S.-JAPAN WORKSHOP ON SEISMIC RETROFIT OF BRIDGES, OSAKA, JAPAN, DECEMBER 10-11, 1996

The aims of the workshop were: (1) to bring together experts from the United States and Japan to exchange technical information on current research and practical efforts being made in the area of seismic retrofit of bridges; and (2) to identify future needs and opportunities between the two countries for cooperative research. A broad range of technical topics were presented at the workshop, including: damage to bridges in the Hyogo-ken-Nanbu Earthquake; assessment and prioritization of vulnerable bridges; inspection and strengthening methods for reinforced concrete bridge piers; research on seismic retrofit and strengthening of reinforced concrete bridge piers; research on seismic retrofit of steel piers, restrainers, bearings, and foundations; and effects of loading history. The workshop was attended by 20 U.S. and 66 Japanese participants. In total 26 papers were presented, 15 from Japan and 11 from the United States. The material in the proceedings includes (1) all technical papers in the order in which they were presented during the workshop, (2) resolutions that were unanimously approved by the participants during the closing session of the workshop, and (3) the workshop program and the list of participants.
