- Abstract
- Twenty-nine papers delivered at either the joint meeting of the United States-Japan Cooperative Program on Natural Resources Panel on Wind and Seismic Effects or the US-Japan Seminars on the Repair and Retrofit of Structures are presented. All papers address either the seismic design or evaluation of bridges. The papers focus on such topics as seismic resistant bridge design in California, specifications for the earthquake resistant design of Japanese high bridges, response of cable stayed bridges to static and dynamic loads, seismic vulnerability of prestressed concrete segmental bridges, behavior of concrete-filled steel tubes, repair and retrofit work on road bridge substructures, rehabilitation of road transportation networks damaged by earthquakes, and retrofitting bridges to increase their seismic resistance.
