15 May 2014 | Contributor(s): Marco Escamilla, A Gustavo Ayala

APPLICATION OF SIMPLIFIED PROCEDURES IN THE SEISMIC ASSESSMENT AND PERFORMANCE BASED DESIGN OF CONTINUOUS LONG-SPAN RC BRIDGESIn recent years, there is an increasing interest in the use of simplified assessment and design procedures in earthquake engineering practice. However, there is often a...

Application of the NEES T-Rex Vibrator for 3-component Crustal Reflection/Refraction Profiling: 2004 Test in the Basin and Range

25 Feb 2011 | Poster | Contributor(s): Derek Lerch, Kenneth Stokoe, Farn-Yuh Menq

In September 2004, Stanford University and UT Austin collected crustal reflection/refraction data with the Network forEarthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) tri-axial (T-Rex) vibrator. Data were collected in two separate surveys: (1) a 40 km crustal scale profile, and (2) a 16 km...
