ACI SP-187:1999 PDF Download

ACI SP-187:1999 is a publication that focuses on the seismic response of concrete bridges. The document includes a compilation of 17 papers that cover a wide range of topics related to the behavior of concrete bridges during earthquakes. Some of the topics discussed include the impact of recent earthquakes on seismic design processes, experimental research on the behavior of bridge components, case studies of bridge seismic upgrades, and the use of composite materials and seismic isolation systems.

The papers in this publication provide valuable insights into the seismic performance of concrete bridges. They highlight the lessons learned from previous earthquakes, such as the Loma Prieta Earthquake and the Northridge Earthquake, and discuss how these events have influenced the design codes for bridges. The papers also present case studies on the performance of reinforced concrete bridges during earthquakes, as well as strategies for retrofitting existing bridge structures to enhance their seismic performance.
