Fifth National Seismic Conference on Bridges and Highways: Innovation in Earthquake Engineering for Highway Structures

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 twelve topical areas in which the latest bridge and highway earthquake engineering research and practical information fall are: instrumentation and monitoring systems, use of innovative technologies and materials, foundations and geotechnical considerations, performance criteria and economic considerations, seismic risk assessment of highway networks, soil-structure interaction and foundations, emerging seismic design and retrofit technologies, design and analysis of major bridges, lessons learned from recent earthquakes, international technologies and practices, effects of near-field earthquakes on bridges, and liquefaction and mitigation strategies.
