Advanced Techniques for Earthquake-Resistant Design of Transportation Structures
Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of earthquake-resistant design in transportation infrastructure, highlighting the need for robust techniques to mitigate damage and ensure user safety. It discusses advanced methodologies and technologies used in seismic design, including site-specific hazards, structural response analysis, innovative retrofitting techniques, and successful implementations of these strategies. The paper also highlights the need for sustainable design in bridge construction, balancing structural integrity with environmental consciousness. It also highlights the significance of disaster-resistant urban transportation systems in bolstering city infrastructure resilience. The paper delves into seismic vulnerability assessment methodologies for highway bridges, offering insights into economic loss estimation, retrofitting decisions, and disaster response planning. The review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities inherent in earthquake-resistant design within transportation engineering, guiding future research and practical implementations.
