Project Objective | To conduct a workshop to transfer the research results from the UMR earthquake hazards mitigation project into the hands of practitioners in the Mid-American states. | ||||||||
Project Abstract | A technology transfer workshop will be held in Cape Girardeau on October 28-29, 2004 to disseminate the research results from the UMR earthquake hazards mitigation research program. The workshop will cover the bridge design related topics in geophysics, seismology, geotechnical to structural engineering. Attempt will be made to work step-by-step through a complete design cycle for bridge systems, highlighting the contributions from the UMR efforts in each step . | ||||||||
Anticipated Benefits | Research results/findings will be implemented in actual design of bridge systems. | ||||||||
Modal Orientation | Bridge Design and Assessment | ||||||||
