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 ...
