Seismic Performance Evaluation of Retrofitted Bridge by Isolation Bearings
The Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2009 The seismic performance evaluation and retrofit process are very important in existing bridges. If the result is not appropriate, then retrofit process are required.

Geotechnical design with apparent seismic safety factors well-bellow 1 [PDF]
, 2014 The paper demonstrates that whereas often in seismic geotechnical design it is not realistically feasible to design with ample factor of safety against failure as is done in static design, an "engineering" apparent seismic factor of safety less than 1 ...

Seismic design and retrofit of bridges
Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2000 The 1989 Loma Prieta, 1994 Northridge and 1995 Hyogo-ken nanbu earthquakes caused major damage to bridges and these events together with the research triggered as a consequence of the earthquakes has led to significant advances in bridge seismic design and retrofitting.

Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Historical Churches
Structural Engineering International, 2002 A methodology for evaluating the seismic response capacities of historical churches is presented. Specially calibrated performance objectives, including the issue of cultural value safety, and related acceptance criteria are formulated to this aim. A mixed displacement and strength-based control of response is carried out, by interpreting the results ...

Centrifuge modeling of rocking-isolated inelastic RC bridge piers [PDF]
, 2014 Experimental proof is provided of an unconventional seismic design concept, which is based on deliberately underdesigning shallow foundations to promote intense rocking oscillations and thereby to dramatically improve the seismic resilience of structures.
