Seismic Response Modification of Urban Infrastructures

2 nd Semester (2-0-0)

Professor Kazuhiko KAWASHIMA

 

[Aims and Scopes]

A variety of seismic response modification technologies are effectively used to mitigate damage of urban infrastructures during a significant earthquake.  Isolation of underground structures from the surrounding soft soils is often used to mitigate the response.  Various damper technologies are used in not only standard bridges but also long-span bridges.  Pocking isolation is attracting increased interest.  Emphasis of the lecture will be places on the seismic design of transportation facilities including bridges and underground structures in soft soil deposits.
