| Summary: | TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Research Report 864: Seismic Evaluation of Bridge Columns with Energy Dissipating Mechanisms, Volume 1: Research Overview and Volume 2: Guidelines describes the evaluation of new materials and techniques for design and construction of novel bridge columns meant to improve seismic performance. These techniques include shape memory alloy (SMA), engineered cementitious composite (ECC), fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP), and rocking mechanisms. The guidelines contained in Volume 2 explore a quantitative evaluation method to rate novel columns as well as design and construction methods for SMA-reinforced ECC columns, SMA-reinforced FRP-confined concrete/columns, and FRP-confined hybrid rocking columns. The project explores the behavior of the selected columns and develops proposed design guidelines according to the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications and the AASHTO Guide Specifications for LRFD Seismic Bridge Design. Appendices A-I are available online. |
