Recommended LRFD Guidelines for the Seismic Design of Highway Bridges
(2003)
The Recommended Guidelines consist of specifications, commentary, and appendices developed to be compatible with the existing load-and-resistance-factor design (LRFD) provisions for highway bridges published by AASHTO. ...
Proceedings of the First PRC-US Workshop on Seismic Analysis and Design of Special Bridges
(2003)
These Proceedings are the result of the first in a series of international workshops on seismic analysis and design of special bridges collaboratively arranged by MCEER and the State Key Laboratory for Disaster Reduction ...
Behavior of Underground Piping Joints Due to Static and Dynamic Loading
(2003)
This MCEER report describes the procedures and results of an empirical data research program designed to determine the static and dynamic behavior of some typical restrained and unrestrained underground pipe joints. Because ...
Experimental Investigation of Light-Gauge Steel Plate Shear Walls for the Seismic Retrofit of Buildings
(2003)
This report presents experimental investigations into the seismic adequacy of steel plate shear walls (SPSW) utilizing light-gauge cold-rolled infill plates as a more viable option for retrofit scenarios. The interest in ...
Statistical Analysis of Fragility Curves
(2003)
This report applies both empirical and analytical fragility curves to present methods of bridge fragility curve development. The empirical data utilizes damage obtained from past earthquakes including Northridge and Kobe; ...
Urban Disaster Recovery: A Framework and Simulation Model
(2003)
The study described in this report focuses on developing an educational tool for illustrating concepts of community recovery, and identifying data collection and research needs for more refined recovery models in the future. ...

Proceedings of the Eighth U.S.-Japan Workshop on Earthquake Resistant Design of Lifeline Facilities and Countermeasures Against Liquefaction
(2003)
This volume contains the 53 papers presented at the most recent workshop of this US-Japan series addressing earthquake damage to lifelines and advanced technologies for characterizing liquefaction, mitigating risk to ...
Liquefaction Study Report
(2003)
This report presents the results of the study of the effects of liquefaction and the associated hazards, lateral spreading and flow, which was undertaken in support of the NCHRP 12-49 efforts. The purpose of this study ...
