SEISMIC RESPONSE OF CONCRETE BRIDGES

This publication contains papers presented during the following four ACI convention sessions sponsored by Committee 341, Earthquake-Resistant Concrete Bridges, during 1995 and 1996: Effects of Recent Earthquakes on Concrete Bridges - Performance, Retrofit, and Design; Response of Concrete Bridges during the Northridge Earthquake; Seismic Retrofit and Design of Concrete Bridges; and State-of-Knowledge in Earthquake Response of Concrete Bridges Five Years after the Loma Prieta Earthquake. The papers presented cover a wide number of subjects related to seismic behavior of concrete bridge structures. Topics include the impact of recent research on behavior of bridge components during earthquakes, case studies of bridge seismic upgrades, and the use of composite materials and seismic isolation systems to enhance seismic performance.
