Abstract: These Proceedings are the result of the second in a series of international workshops on seismic analysis and design of special bridges collaboratively arranged by MCEER and the State Key Laboratory for Disaster Reduction in Civil Engineering, Tongji ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½, Shanghai, China. The workshop themes include seismic design and retrofit of long span bridges, performance based design, seismic safety evaluation, soil-pile-structure interaction and pseudo-dynamic and hydrodynamic experimental study. This volume contains 23 papers addressing a wide range of these research fields, including a discussion of seismicity in China. The workshop agenda and list of participants is also included.
