‘Low-damage’ alternative tabled for earthquake proof bridge structures Researchers in New Zealand have put forward a “low-damage” design as an alternative for earthquake-resilient for bridges. “Current earthquake design philosophy prevents the collapse of bridge infrastructure as a result of a large-magnitude earthquake, but that does not mean that bridges won’t be significantly damaged,” said University of Canterbury College of Engineering professor Alessandro Palermo, who is working on the project with civil engineering PhD student and charted bridge engineer Sabina Piras (both pictured above) and associate professor Gabriele Chiaro. He added: “Road closures and repairs can have a significant social and economic impact as seen in the Canterbury and Kaikōura quakes, which brought the affected regions to a standstill and cost the economy millions.” ....

Friday, 2 July 2021, 11:03 am After the Canterbury and Kaikōura earthquakes, there has been increased interest in creating more earthquake-resilient bridge infrastructure in Aotearoa New Zealand. In response, researchers at the University of Canterbury (UC) have developed a low-damage solution for bridges that would yield little to no damage if hit by a strong earthquake. The research is being led by UC Civil Engineering PhD student and chartered bridge engineer Sabina Piras originally from the United States, under the supervision of Professor Alessandro Palermo and Associate Professor Gabriele Chiaro at UC’s College of Engineering. The team has developed an alternative ....
