New Bridge and Highway Reports
The new publications below feature MCEER’s Highway Project research over the past decade. Topics include improved seismic design, evaluation and retrofit methodologies and strategies for new and existing bridges and other highway structures. The reports, which include manuals, guidelines and synthesis reports, are either newly available or will be released over the next few months.
