Design and Performance of Concrete Bridges and Buildings
Also Known As:
ACI SP-316:2017 is a special publication that focuses on the design and performance of concrete structures, specifically bridges and buildings. The publication addresses the important aspect of soil-structure interaction and its influence on the behavior of these structures. It highlights the significance of understanding and considering transient and long-term foundation displacements, such as differential settlement, especially in earthquake-prone areas or unstable soil regions.
The publication emphasizes the need for adequate subsurface investigation, design, and construction methods to avoid various types of damage. It mentions that research approaches, including laboratory testing and numerical modeling, are undertaken to improve the understanding of soil-structure interaction. The publication consists of nine papers selected from technical sessions held in the ACI Fall convention in 2015. These papers cover topics such as earthquake-induced soil-structure interaction effects, vibration analysis for dynamic machine foundations, case studies of underpinning, and performance evaluation of concrete slab bridge systems.
