Passive earth resistance at the abutments may limit earthquake induced bridge deck displacements. Including this abutment contribution in seismic bridge design may reduce [...]

The George E Brown Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) is a shared national network of 15 experimental facilities, collaborative tools, a centralized [...]

The NEES Cyberinfrastructure Center (NEESit) has developed a central data repository (NEEScentral) to capture important reservoirs of data and expose them to the communit [...]

A technique for analysis of dynamic structural response is developed based on the Wavelet Transform Method (WTM). This technique extends an earlier methodology for struct [...]

A series of one-g shake-table experiments using a large rigid wall soil container was conducted to investigate countermeasures for piles in liquefying ground stratum. Spe [...]

Large sets of soil experimental data (field and laboratory) are becoming increasingly available for calibration of soil constitutive models. A challenging task is to cali [...]

This paper presents a two-dimensional yet advanced nonlinear finite element model of a real bridge system, the Humboldt Bay Middle Channel Bridge near Eureka in Northern [...]
