Abstract Past earthquakes such as the Christchurch and Kaikoura events have highlighted the difficulties in residual capacity assessment and repair of plastic hinge damage in conventional reinforced concrete bridges. Also, with growing population densities in urban centres around the world, there is substantial interest in increasing earthquake resilience and minimising the disruption caused by new bridge construction. Two areas of research that address these aspects are low damage design and accelerated bridge construction. The aims of low damage design are to significantly reduce seismically induced damage to structural members, minimise residual drifts and limit damage to specifically designed components. At the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, within the bridge engineering space over the past decade or so, particular focus has been placed on these areas of research and their combination. This paper presents an overview of the extensive experimental work undertaken at the University of Canterbury on these topics for bridges.

使用弹性抗损系统和加速施工技术的桥梁十年试验

摘要 基督城和凯库拉等过去的地震凸显了传统钢筋混凝土桥梁剩余容量评估和塑性铰损伤修复的困难。此外，随着世界各地城市中心人口密度的增加，人们对提高抗震能力和最大限度地减少新桥梁建设造成的破坏产生了浓厚的兴趣。解决这些问题的两个研究领域是低损伤设计和加速桥梁建设。低损伤设计的目的是显着减少结构构件的地震引起的损伤，最大限度地减少残余漂移并限制对专门设计的组件的损坏。在过去十年左右的时间里，在新西兰坎特伯雷大学的桥梁工程领域，特别关注这些研究领域及其组合。本文概述了坎特伯雷大学就这些桥梁主题进行的广泛实验工作。
