- Abstract
- The workshop was held on January 20 and 21, 1994, at the Berkeley Marina Marriott. It focussed on recent research and application of retrofit technology, rather than state-of-the-art reviews, in response to the rapid development of technology and the tremendous amount of research underway in both countries. Topics covered during the workshop include: (1) 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, and (5) recent research. Both steel and reinforced concrete bridges were covered, and issues related to the broad spectrum of bridges found throughout the U.S. and Japan were addressed.
