Multihazard-Resistant Highway Bridge Bent
There are some similarities between seismic and blast effects on bridge structures: both major earthquakes and terrorist attacks/accidental explosions are rare events that can induce large inelastic deformations in the key structural components of bridges. Since many bridges are (or will be) located in areas of moderate or high seismic activity, and because many bridges are potential terrorist targets, there is a need to develop structural systems capable of performing equally well under both events. The objective of this research project is to develop a multi-hazard bridge pier concept capable of providing an adequate level of protection against collapse under both seismic and blast loading, and whose members' dimensions are not very different from those currently found in typical highway bridges.
