The Second US-Japan Workshop on Seismic Retrofit of Bridges-Berkeley, 1/20-21/94

9408162马欣正在世界各地进行大量研究，以确定有效、实用和可靠的方法，以评估现有桥梁的地震安全性，并通过翻新减少其脆弱性。美国和日本在这些活动及其实际实施方面走在了前列。来自美国和日本的研究人员和实践者定期会面，交流技术数据，确定共同关心的问题和合作研究的机会，这一点很重要。该项目将召开第二届美国-日本桥梁抗震改造研讨会。本次研讨会将与美国-日本桥梁防震系统研讨会同时举行。这个震撼性的改造研讨会将专注于改造技术的最新研究和应用，而不是最新的审查。讲习班将讨论的主题包括：(1)先进的评估和优先技术；(2)桥梁抗震改造的设计方法；(3)与基础评估和改造有关的问题；(4)桥梁评估和改造的案例研究；(5)最新研究；(6)比较改造实例的发展。本课程将涵盖钢桥和钢筋混凝土桥梁，并解决与美国和日本各地广泛存在的桥梁相关的问题。***

9408162 Mahin Considerable research is underway throughout the world to identify effective, practical and reliable methods for evaluating the seismic safety of existing bridges and for reducing their vulnerability through retrofit. The U.S. and Japan are at the forefront of these activities, as well as of their practical implementation. It is important for researchers and practitioners from the U.S. and Japan to meet periodically to exchange technical data as well as to identify issues of mutual concern and opportunities for cooperative study. The project convenes a second U.S. Japan Workshop on Seismic Retrofit of Bridges. This workshop will be held in conjunction with the U.S. Japan Workshop on Earthquake Protective Systems for Bridges. This seismic retrofit workshop will focus on recent research and applications of retrofit technology, rather than state of the art reviews. Topics to be covered during the workshop include: (1) advanced assessment and prioritization techniques; (2) design methods for seismic retrofit of bridges; (3) issues related to foundation evaluation and retrofit; (4) case studies of bridge assessment and retrofit; (5) recent research; and (6) the development of comparative retrofit examples. Both steel and reinforced concrete bridges will be covered and issues related to the broad spectrum of bridges found throughout the U.S. and Japan are addressed. ***
