DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis manual is an interim revision of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) publication "Seismic Retrofitting Guidelines for Highway Bridges", which was published in 1983 as report number FHWA/RD-83/007. It describes an evaluation procedure for retrofitting seismically deficient highway bridges and outlines various measures to upgrade these structures. The guidance provided in this manual is comprehensive in nature and nationally applicable to bridges in different seismic zones. It includes a revised preliminary screening procedure; two methods of detailed evaluation (which include the capacity/demand ratio method and the lateral strength method); and expanded sections on retrofit measures for bearings, columns, footings, foundations, and soils. A new section on the application of seismic isolation to bridge retrofit is also included. The manual is termed an interim revision because the subject matter is still evolving at this time.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis report presents the results of the second phase of a comprehensive analytical study on the seismic response of highway bridges in New Jersey. Most bridges in New Jersey are multi-span simply supported (MSSS) where due to impact at the joints the seismic response is highly nonlinear. Therefore, detailed seismic analysis of essential bridges should employ nonlinear computer models that consider the important behavioral characteristics. Among these are: behavior of steel bearings, impact between adjacent spans and between the end-span and the abutment, soil-structure interaction, frictional characteristics following bearing failure, plastic hinges and/or shear failure at the columns, and combined effect of horizontal and transverse ground motion excitations. In light of these, the overall objective of this phase of the study was to evaluate the nonlinear seismic response of actual bridges with emphasis on soil-structure interaction and three-dimensional effect of ground motion. Furthermore, capacity/demand ratios for various components were determined based on the Federal Highway Administration's seismic retrofitting manual for highway bridges.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCovers 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis 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.
