It focuses on ten years of applied research carried out by MCEER, University at Buffalo for the Federal Highway Administration, a division of the US Department of Transportation. MCEER managed a series of integrated projects, which are guided by blue-ribbon panels of nationally renowned technical experts. The projects concentrate on bridges and other highway structures that are critical links in the transportation network and put an emphasis on producing tangible deliverables that provide practitioners with a means of implementing this new knowledge. It will also explain how the research, along with laboratory experimentation and the post-earthquake evaluation of actual performance, is used by the American Association of State Transportation Officials (AASHTO) to modify bridge design specifications.
