The Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction publishes articles about practical solutions to structural design problems and construction challenges of interest to practitioners. Articles may be of any length. Those reporting on small and medium-sized projects will be welcomed. Photographs are desirable; graphs, tables, and lengthy formulas are discouraged. The editors are not interested in what researchers have to say to one another; although articles must be technically sound, the overriding question in the editors' minds when considering a submission is whether the article will be of interest to a significant number of practicing engineers and contractors.

Research Highlights

Analytical Investigation of Potential Seismic Damage to a Skewed Bridge

Investigative reports on the 1994 Northridge earthquake in California indicated significant damage experienced by skewed highway bridges. Specifically, the damage sustained by the Pico-Lyons Bridge near Newhall, California, was noted to have been triggered by the skewed geometry of the bridge. In an effort to portray the behavior of this bridge analytically, a series of simulation studies was conducted using nonlinear finite-element analyses. Read more...
