Seismic Rehabilitation of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Wall Piers (Dec 2019, MPC-19-410)
Reinforced concrete bridge wall piers constructed using older codes perform inadequately during strong earthquakes; deficiencies include short reinforcement lap splices, insufficient steel reinforcement ratios in the longitudinal and transverse direction, and inadequate seismic detailing. Three half-scale...
Cyclic Lateral Loading of a Model Pile Group in Clay Soil, Phase 2B (Feb 1999, MPC-99-99B)
In certain regions of the world, designing deep foundations to withstand seismic loading is a reality. Seismic loading of structures and foundations reaches a critical state as a laterally applied force. The response of soils and foundations to repetitive lateral forces is highly complex, relegating...
