[SS35] Latest developments on seismic response of integral abutment bridges
Organisers:
Bruno Briseghella, College of Civil Engineering, Fuzhou University, China;
Stergios Mitoulis, University of Surrey, UK;

Philip W. Yen, International Association of Bridge Earthquake Engineering, IABEE, USA
Integral abutment bridges (IABs) are becoming rather common due to the durability problems of bearings and expansion joints. Monolithic connections between the deck and sub-structure allow to increase the structure redundancy and reduce the maintenance costs. However, soil-structure effects are induced by thermal variations, long-term effects and seismic loads. Several authors have investigated the soil-structure interaction for IABs, but there is still a lack of common line guidelines and codes. This Special Session intends to provide a discussion platform for the exchange of knowledge concerning latest research developments on seismic behavior of IABs.

Workshop, 1 March 2019@London: Risk & Resilience of bridges and networks
There was a lot of interaction and extremely interesting conversations as to what the future of resilience engineering looks like for transport networks. A follow-up elicitation poll is on its way. The workshop will be repeated in early June due to the number of people who expressed interest.
Participants from other academic institutions, Highways England, Councils, consultancies, London Boroughs, Transport Scotland, and Governemental bodies attended this workshop!

DYnamic identification and MOnitoring of scoured BRIdgeS under earthquake hazard
We have recently won the European research project “DYMOBRIS”, as part of the H2020-SERA-TA project (Transnational Access Facilities). We will be testing large scale bridge pier specimens under mulitple hazards (flood-induced scour and earthquake excitations).
