The seismic evaluation and retrofitting of bridges [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Past earthquakes have clearly shown the seismic vulnerability of existing bridges. Despite recent progress by the structural engineering profession in addressing bridge seismic risks, there are still several areas where improvements in bridge evaluation and retrofit practices are needed.

Seismic Retrofitting of Structures by Steel Bracings

open access: yesProcedia Engineering, 2016
Seismic retrofitting is the modification of existing structures so as to improve the system behaviour or its components repair/strengthening up to the performance it is expected.

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 ...
