Full-Scale Seismically Isolated Bridge Testing (NEES-2010-0976)

<p><strong>Title:</strong> Full-Scale Seismically Isolated Bridge Testing (NEES-2010-0976)</p> <p><strong>Year Of Curation: </strong>2013</p> <p><strong>Description: </strong>The analysis and design of seismically isolated structures are based on bounding procedures that accounts for plausible changes in mechanical properties of isolation hardware (elastomeric, lead-rubber or sliding bearings) due to natural occurring phenomena during the lifetime of the structure. This research focuses on the performance of seismic isolation technology over time and over a wide spectrum of temperatures and other environmental conditions, and it is based on the experimental study of a full-scale seismically isolated bridge.</p> <p><strong>Award: </strong>N/A</p> <p><strong>PIs & CoPIs: </strong>Andrew Whittaker</p> <p><strong>Dates: </strong>November 2, 2010 to June 12, 2014</p> <p><strong>Organizations: </strong>State University of New York at Buffalo, NY, United States</p> <p><strong>Facilities: </strong>State University of New York at Buffalo, NY, United States</p> <p><strong>Sponsor: </strong>MCEER Center, State of New York</p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>free vibration response, bridge structure</p> <p><strong>Publications: </strong>--</p> <nb:citations></nb:citations>
