The workshop, held January 20 and 21, 1994, in Berkeley, California, focused on recent research and application of retrofit technology in response to the rapid development of technology and the significant amount of research under way in both the United States and Japan. Topics covered during the workshop include: (1) assessment and prioritization techniques, (2) design methods for seismic retrofit of bridges, (3) issues related to foundation evaluation and retrofit, (4) case studies of bridge assessment and retrofit, and (5) recent research. Both steel and reinforced concrete bridges were covered, and issues related to the broad spectrum of bridges found throughout the United States and Japan were addressed. Twenty-five papers and six abstracts are included in the proceedings.
