older bridge seismic guides for single-mode analysis examples

older bridge seismic guides for single-mode analysis examples

older bridge seismic guides for single-mode analysis examples

(OP)
Does anyone know of a weblink or site to find a pdf (preferably) of either of these two older bridge seismic guides?:

(1) Guide Specification for Seismic Design of Highway Bridges, AASHTO 1983.
 
or

(2) Seismic Design Guidelines for Highway Bridges (ATC-6), Applied Technology Council, 1981.

The AASHTO LRFD Bridge Spec references the two under Single-mode spectral analysis as containing examples.  The examples are what I am looking for.

Thanks,

civilRoo

RE: older bridge seismic guides for single-mode analysis examples

I don't have either but attached is Chapter 8 - Design Examples from the 1986 FHWA Seismic Retrofit Manual. There probsbly isn't any major change between them - where's Qshake?. Also attached is the Earthquake specs from the 83 AASHTO with 84 interims.


You could try contacting

http://mceer.buffalo.edu/

or AASHTO. However, the older documents are not readily available from AASHTO.

Looks like you've got things covered, bridgebuster.  

I would also recommend the NTIS, National Technical Information Services as where most of the government publications are from.  Here's a link: http://www.ntis.gov/

Also, I seem to recall the older AASHTO having a single mode example in it too as part of the commentary.  Too many piles of junk to check for certain.  

Hope this helps.

RE: older bridge seismic guides for single-mode analysis examples

Qshake - time to go paperless or almost paperless. Over the past year I've been converting a lot of things to pdf. One problem though , a lot of 30 year old pages don't scan well.

RE: older bridge seismic guides for single-mode analysis examples

civilRoo - I was cleaning up some shelves and I found a copy of the

Seismic Design Guidelines for Highway Bridges (ATC-6), Applied Technology Council, 1981.

Do you still need it?
