Attendees of a recent presentation on the earthquake-resistant structure of San Francisco’s Salesforce Transit Center—intended to provide a safe haven when the Big One hits—lauded the engineering of ...

Initial stabilization of two problem built-up plate girders at the Salesforce Transit Center in seismically active San Francisco, using a beam and tower shoring system to relieve loads on the girders, ...

One promising technique for the seismic design of highway bridges with steel superstructures is to dissipate energy through the inelastic deformation of the end cross frames. These so-called ductile ...
