Um die Auswirkungen von Erdbeben auf Gebäude, Brücken und andere empfindliche Konstruktionen zu mildern, wurden im Laufe der Jahre zahlreiche Technologien entwickelt. Eine der neueren hiervon ist die seismische Isolation: Sie beinhaltet den Einbau von Mechanismen, die das Gebäude von den Bewegungen des Untergrunds entkoppeln. Der Erfolg dieser Technik übertrifft den aller vorher bekannten Verfahren - ein Grund für Ingenieure und Architekten, sich genauer zu informieren. Dazu sei dieses Buch empfohlen. (04/99)

This work offers guidance on bridge design for extreme events induced by human beings. This document provides the designer with information on the response of concrete bridge columns subjected to blast loads as well as blast-resistant design and detailing guidelines and analytical models of blast load distribution. The content of this guideline should be considered in situations where resisting blast loads is deemed warranted by the owner or designer.

Prepared by the Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center (HITEC), a CERF Innovation Center. This report outlines the HITEC Technical Evaluation Plan for large seismic isolator and energy dissipation devices. The plan is designed to characterize the fundamental properties and performance characteritics of a wide range of devices produced by U.S. and overseas manufacturers. It describes a program of full-scale dynamic tests, the results of which should provide guidance to the transportation-engineering community regarding the performance of large seismic devices.

Covers seismic design for typical bridge types and applies to non-critical and non-essential bridges. Approved as an alternate to the seismic provisions in the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. Differs from the current procedures in the LRFD Specifications in the use of displacement-based design procedures, instead of the traditional force-based "R-Factor" method. Includes detailed guidance and commentary on earthquake resisting elements and systems, global design strategies, demand modeling, capacity calculation, and liquefaction effects. Capacity design procedures underpin the Guide Specifications' methodology; includes prescriptive detailing for plastic hinging regions and design requirements for capacity protection of those elements that should not experience damage.
