The scope included experimentally determining and analytically predicting the external tendon maximum stress and the flexural capacity of the bridge.","PeriodicalId":163993,"journal":{"name":"SP-160: Seismic Rehabilitation of Concrete Structures","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116688324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to compare the pertinent provisions of these proposed provisions to each other and to existing building codes (UBC, SEAOC, NEHRP, and ASCE 7). In addition, the American Institute of Steel Construction has adapted seismic provisions in their Load and Resistance Factor Design Specifications. BOCA has proposed a method of adapting these LRFD Seismic provisions into its building code. This study also reviewed these proposed revisions with respect to applicability to East Coast earthquakes, especially in New York City. The impact of both the NYC and BOCA provisions on design and construction costs are also addressed.","PeriodicalId":163993,"journal":{"name":"SP-160: Seismic Rehabilitation of Concrete Structures","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129582697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One track of the joint Caltrans and University of California, Berkeley research project is the investigation of outrigger knee joints found in elevated freeway bents. This project has two principal goals: (1) to evaluate the behavior of the existing outrigger knee joint subassemblies under a combined transverse and longitudinal loading and (2) to devise and experimentally verify upgrading strategies and repair techniques suitable for application on the existing elevated freeways. In parallel with the experiments, a set of tools was developed for design and analysis of the upgraded subassemblies.
