| The overall research objective is to improve the understanding of the
behavior of long span cable stayed bridges under earthquake excitation. The Ji Lu
Bridge in Taiwan presents a unique case study that opens the door into further research.
This phase is to study the behavior of the Ji Lu bridge
under ground excitation from the 921 Chi-Chi Earthquake.
Using current modeling techniques, the research will attempt to replicate the
damage seen in the field. With an accurate working model, important ... |
