Arthur A. Huckelbridge Jr., Ph.D., P.E. Associate Professor of Civil Engineering, CWRU Phone: (216) 368-2474 FAX: (216) 368-5229 Email: aah4@po.cwru.edu

Primary Research Interests

• Structural Dynamics
• Occupant Induced Floor Vibrations
• Earthquake Engineering
• Bridge Engineering / Bridge Durability
• Connection Performance in Bridge Structures

Funded projects have been in the areas of the seismic performance of structures, numerical methods in structural dynamics, field monitoring of bridge performance, and laboratory investigations of bridge joint performance. Funding sources have included federal and state agencies, as well as industries. Two ODOT funded projects relating to in-situ bridge evaluation and the improvement of bridge durability were recently concluded, involving both field and laboratory instrumentation of bridge structures and components, as well as finite element studies of bridge joint details.
