The bridge is designed for seismic loading to withstand a major earthquake.
2.
In particular, special natural rubber bridge bearings were designed for the project to take care of seismic loading.
3.
Another design methodology used in other formulas of HPFRCCs is based on the material s ability to withstand seismic loading.
4.
"' Seismic loading "'means application of an earthquake-generated excitation on a structure ( or geo-structure ).
5.
Such riveted structures may be insufficient to resist seismic loading from earthquakes if the structure was not engineered for such forces, a common problem of older steel bridges.
6.
DOE has stated that seismic and tectonic effects on the natural systems at Yucca Mountain will not significantly affect substantial protection of the waste from seepage water, even under severe seismic loading.
7.
Sometimes, seismic load exceeds ability of a structure to resist it without being broken, partially or completely Due to their mutual interaction, seismic loading and seismic performance of a structure are intimately related.
8.
It was the first large-scale use of an orthotropic deck, which reduces weight, and thus seismic loading, although the bridge is expected to receive moderate to major damage following an earthquake.
9.
In spite of the fact that the rotational components may significantly affect the seismic behavior of structures, their influence is not currently considered in the most of modern design codes, which the main reasons of this ignorance may be attributed to : ( 1 ) lack of the recorded data on the rotational accelerations and difficulty in presenting a quantitative assessment of the rotational acceleration components for given translational components, and ( 2 ) complexity in derivation of simplified seismic loading patterns for structures subjected to the rotational excitations.
