Seismic damage control technology has advanced rapidly and been widely applied to not only new construction but also retrofit of existing bridges, especially after 1995 K [...]

In light of the serious tsunami disaster during the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and the subsequent severe accident at the Fukushima-Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, the preparedne [...]

Due to the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, some seismic isolation bridges were severely damaged by ground motion and cracks of isolation bearings were observed. In this [...]

In this research, distributed hybrid experimental system of coupling 1G-40G fields is developed to consider soil-foundationnonlinear structure interaction. Static loading [...]

To evaluate a seismic response of bridge systems, it is important to adopt the most appropriate model for each component. In this study, the seismic response of a bridge [...]
