Bridges are lifeline structures. They act, as an important page link in surface transportation network and failure of bridges during a seismic event will seriously hamper the relief and rehabilitation work. There are many cases of damage of bridges in the past earthquakes all over the world. Due to their structural simplicity, bridges are particularly vulnerable to damage and even collapse when subjected to earthquakes. The fundamental period of vibration of a majority of bridges is in the range of 0.2 to 1.2 second. In this range, the structur ....etc

Abstract

We propose Bubble-Sensing, a new sensor network abstraction that allows mobile phones users to create a binding between tasks (e.g., take a photo, or sample audio every hour indefinitely) and the physical world at locations of interest, that remains active for a duration set by the user. We envision mobile phones being able to affix task bubbles at places of interest and then receive sensed data as it becomes available in a delay-t ....etc

Abstract:
This seminar is intended to evaluate the applicability of Nonlinear Static Procedure by implementing the Displacement Coefficient Method to bridges. For comparison purposes, the Nonlinear Dynamic Procedure (or nonlinear time-history analysis), which is considered to be the most accurate and reliable method of nonlinear seismic analysis, is also performed. A three-span bridge of 97.5 meters (320 ft) in total length was analyzed using both the Nonlinear Static Procedure/Displacement Coefficient Method and nonlinear time-history. Nine ....etc

Many structures have their fundamental frequencies of vibration within the range
of frequencies where the energy of most of the earthquake ground motions is a maximum. In such cases a structure will amplify the ground vibrations and produce accelerations, which increases from the base of the structure to its top. Besides producing undesirable levels of acceleration in the structure, these amplified structural motions can cause large stresses in structural elements and large relative displacements between different parts of the structure. This ....etc

Abstract:
In this seminar the analysis of soil-structure interaction effects and of multiple support excitation on the seismic response of long-span cable-supported bridges are presented. The purpose of this seminar is to provide a better understanding of the dynamic performance of cable supported bridges under earthquake excitation, considering the spatial variability of the ground motion and the complex phenomena of soil-bridge interaction, so that such effects can be included in the design and rehabilitation process. Amplification of struct ....etc
