FHWA/MCEER Seismic Research for Transportation Structures
This paper summarizes the current FHWA seismic research program in highway constructions. This research program consists of two phases. The first phase, entitled "Seismic Vulnerability Studies of New and Existing Highway Construction", was briefly introduced by group areas: Seismic Hazards and Ground Motion, Geotechnical Engineering, Intelligent and Protective Systems, Structures and Systems, Earthquake Reconnaissance, Demonstration Projects and Workshops and Conferences. The research studies of the second phase, Seismic Vulnerability Studies of Highway Systems, is introduced with the topical areas: Loss Estimation Methods for Highway Systems, Seismic Design and Retrofit Manual for Long Span Bridges, Earthquake Protective Systems, Foundation and geotechnical Studies, Special Studies, Technology Exchange and Transfer. This program will result in the development of an improved understanding of the seismic hazard in the eastern and central United States, the behavior and response of foundations and soils under seismic excitation, and the overall response of highway structures and systems during earthquakes. This program is also developing retrofitting technologies appropriate for bridges and other highway structures in low-to-moderate seismic zones and design criteria and philosophies intended to reduce the vulnerability of future highway construction nationally.
