Seismic retrofitting of bridges

2008
Retrofitting interventions leading to uniform distribution of seismic forces are designed to improve the whole seismic performance. The existing bearings are replaced by elastomeric pads (Figure 2.a). To prevent jumping of the superstructure, longitudinal and transversal seismic restrainers are realized by means of reinforced concrete elements doweled ...

Retrofitting of a seismically deficient building

Journal of Structural Integrity and Maintenance, 2016
AbstractMost available seismic retrofitting methods have certain degree of difficulty to be implemented on site and are thus more expensive. A relatively new retrofitting technique coupling the conventional braces with the recently developed viscoelastic dampers is proposed to improve the seismic performance of deficient structures in more effective ...

Seismic Retrofit Design

This chapter covers the key subjects related to the seismic retrofit design process. The difference between global and local retrofit solutions is discussed before highlighting the fact that most projects require a range of intervention techniques. Different conceptual retrofit strategies are then illustrated graphically using the capacity spectrum ...

Seismic Retrofit of Coastal Dikes

Volume 3: Materials Technology; Ocean Engineering; Polar and Arctic Sciences and Technology; Workshops, 2003
Soil liquefaction and associated ground failures have caused much damage to coastal and waterfront structures in the past major earthquakes. The prevalence of liquefaction in the coastal environment necessitates the development of appropriate remediation countermeasures.

Seismic Retrofitting of Bridge Foundations

ACI Structural Journal, 1999
An experimental study investigated retrofitting measures for improving the seismic performance of the foundations of existing bridges. Retrofit measures for both pile-supported and spread footings were investigated. Tests were conducted on 1/3-scale footing and column assemblages that incorporated details selected to represent deficiencies common in ...

Seismic Retrofit of Adobe Constructions

2017
Earthen construction has been widely used since ancient times. Currently, this type of construction is used by approximately one third of the world population. In comparison to other, more modern building materials, such as brick masonry, reinforced concrete, and steel, earth is costless and primarily accessible. For these reasons, it is massively used

Seismic retrofitting of concrete bridges

2006
Bridges which were built before 1970s, either in U. S. or Japan or Europe, had been designed with little or no consideration for seismic demand. Majority of these bridges are supported on reinforced concrete bents and pier walls that lack the ductility and strength to resist earthquakes.
