Book Description
The Jan. 17, 1995, Hyogoken-Nanbu Earthquake was one of the worst disasters to hit Japan in almost half a century. It has been compared in its impact to the great Kanto (Tokyo) Earthquake of 1923. The Kobe-Osaka region held many similarities in its geologic and tectonic setting to many areas along the West Coast, and possibly, other areas of the U.S. A geotechnical reconnaissance to identify the relevant problems and issues was organized. This report provides a timely, first-hand overview of the type and extent of the geotechnical aspects of the damage.
Earthquake-Resistant Design with Rubber

Book Description
Base isolation technology offers a cost-effective and reliable strategy for mitigating seismic damage to structures. The effectiveness of this new technology has been demonstrated not only in laboratory research, but also in the actual response of base-isolated buildings during earthquakes. Increasingly, new and existing buildings in earthquake-prone regions throughout the world are making use of this innovative strategy. In this expanded and updated edition, the design methods and guidelines associated with seismic isolation are detailed. The main focus of the book is on isolation systems that use a damped natural rubber. Topics covered include coupled lateral-torsional response, the behavior of multilayer bearings under compression and bending, and the buckling behavior of elastomeric bearings. Also featured is a section covering the recent changes in building code requirements.

Book Description
Pt. 1: The opportunity for the field testing of an isolated viaduct arose out of the demolition and reconstruction of the I-680/R-24 interchange in Walnut Creek, California. The southern section of the temporary separator bridge is seismically isolated, and this portion was the subject of a three-phase field study. This viaduct is the first new bridge in California to be seismically isolated. The primary objective of this investigation was to collect field data for the determination of the dynamic properties (mode shapes, modal frequencies, and damping ratios) of the viaduct, to assess the contribution of different structural components to the overall flexibility and damping characteristics of the structure, and to conduct analytical studies to verify the experimentally computed dynamic properties.
