The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Office of Earthquake Engineering

Abstract eng:
Caltrans Office of Earthquake Engineering (OEE) is responsible for developing bridge seismic design and retrofit criteria in California. We also develop seismic criteria for tunnels, retaining walls, and other highway structures. The Office manages $4.2 million in earthquake-related research every year. We advise Caltrans engineers, consultants, and other agencies on the state-of-the practice for earthquake engineering for bridges. Advanced seismic analysis of bridge structures is performed by our office. We work closely with Caltrans Office of Geotechnical Services to ensure that there is agreement on analysis and design methods for foundations, on developing site specific ground motions, on retaining wall design, and on other areas where geotechnical and structural engineers need to coordinate.
