Seattle, WA, USA on October 1-4, 2019
Third International Bridge Seismic Workshop to be held in Seattle, WA, USA on October 1-4, 2019.
This workshop is organized by IABEE with co-hosts, Tongji University, University of Washington, and Washington State DOT.
Workshop Theme:
Seismic Hazard Mitigation Measures and Strategies of Transportation Infrastructures
The theme is 'Mitigation Measure and Strategies', however, we look for all kinds of new and innovative measures as well as concepts to mitigate transportation infrastructures; including but not limited to the below topics:
1. Structural
- Design and Analysis of Major Bridges for Earthquakes and Other Natural Hazards
- Seismic Performance Requirements of Lifeline Bridges
- Design and Use of Seismic Isolation Bearings
- Innovations in Seismic Design and Analysis
- Seismic Design Details for Accelerated Bridge Construction
- Seismic Retrofit of Bridges
- Widening of Bridges in Seismic Regions
2. Bridge Performance
- Post-Earthquake Response, Repair and Recovery
- Use of Innovative Technologies and Materials for Improved Bridge Resilience (other than Isolation Technology)
- Bridge Fragility and Highway Network Seismic Risk Assessment
- Performance based Seismic Design Criteria
- Monitor of Bridge Performance in Extreme Events
3. Geotechnical
- Seismic Design and Retrofit of Foundations
- Earthquake Induced Earth Pressure
- Liquefaction, Lateral Spreading, and Ground Movement
4. Hazards
- Seismic Hazard Effects: Ground Motion, Attenuation, Directionality, Vertical Attenuation, Near Fault, Fault Rupture, Long Duration, and Subduction
- Tsunami Loads and Design Criteria
- Lessons Learned from Recent Earthquakes and Other Extreme Events
- Multi-Hazard Design
