Abstract:The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of International Programs has supported knowledge-building and effective practices in transportation in the United States and other countries. One example is the United States-Japan Bridge Engineering Workshops. These workshops have helped the United States share information on ductile structural designs with Japan. In turn, Japan has shared information and data on performance of their bridges following earthquake and tsunami events. Japan and the United States have also engaged in several cooperative research programs on topics such as experimental verification of seismic performance of bridges and experimental/numerical modeling of tsunami effects.
