CCEER-13-01: Instrumentation and Dynamic Characterization of the Galena Creek Bridge
(2013-01-01)
The Galena Creek Bridge is a concrete arch bridge that was completed in 2012 as part of the I-580 freeway in Northern Nevada. The research in this report covers the instrumentation and in–field experiments conducted to ...
CCEER-12-03: Seismic Performance of Circular and Interlocking Spirals RC Bridge Columns under Bidirectional Shake Table Loading Part 1
(2012-08-01)
Under seismic excitations reinforced concrete bridge columns (RCC) are subjected to combinations of forces and deformations. These complex actions are caused by spatially-complex variation of earthquake ground motions, the ...
CCEER-13-09: Large Scale Earthquake Simulation of a Hybrid Lead Rubber Isolation System Designed under Nuclear Seismicity Considerations
(2013-04-01)
The design of the isolation system was constrained by the experimental setup. The light axial loads on the system, which are not representative of a nuclear facility, necessitated the use of a hybrid system of bearings and ...
CCEER-13-03: Analytical Fragility Curves for Horizontally Curved Steel Girder Highway Bridges
(2013-02-01)
Reconnaissance studies following recent significant earthquakes have revealed the seismic vulnerability of curved bridges. Curved steel bridges are widely utilized as important components of transportation networks across ...
CCEER-14-05: Seismic Performance of Square Nickel-Titanium Reinforced ECC Columns with Headed Couplers
(2014-07-01)
Current bridge seismic design could be improved by moving towards performance based design to keep bridges operational and keep repair costs to a minimum by reducing damage to column plastic hinges and minimizing residual ...
CCEER-09-02: Detailing of Seismically Resilient Special Truss Moment Frames
(2009-08-01)
An innovative detail that facilitates the use of energy dissipating devices, such as Buckling Restrained Braces (BRBs), is proposed for Special Truss Moment Frames (STMFs). The configuration of the proposed Special Truss ...
CCEER-95-3: Ductility of Rectangular Reinforced Concrete Bridge Columns with Moderate Confinement
(1995-07-01)
This study is part of a project to develop detailing guidelines for reinforced concrete bridge columns and walls in areas of moderate seismicity. The research examined the ductility and behavior of rectangular reinforced ...
CCEER-00-7: A Comparison of Static and Dynamic Performance of Models of Flared Bridge Columns
(2000-10-01)
The main objective of this study was to explain the differences between the quasi-static and dynamic test results of two scaled models (HS and FA) of the columns in a bridge supported on reinforced concrete columns with ...
CCEER-98-4: Full-Scale Field Capacity Tests of a Railway Bridge
(1998-06-01)
Full scale ultimate load tests of the bearings of the Strawberry Park Bridge were conducted in March 1995. This was a two span 148' long ballasted railway bridge, typical of many railway bridges around the country. The ...
CCEER-99-7: Studies of Seismic Behavior of Steel Base Plates
(1999-05-01)
This report summarizes studies conducted on steel base plates and their effect on the overall seismic response and behavior of a steel building. A two part program, experimental and analytical, was carried out to determine ...
