Assessment of the historic seismic performance of the New Zealand highway bridge stock
This paper presents the assessment of historic seismic bridge performance of the New Zealand highway bridge stock from the 1968 Inangahua earthquake through to the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake. Spatial ground motion details based on recorded and observed ground motion intensities were used to estimate the peak ground acceleration (PGA), as a measure of the seismic demand at each bridge location. Across all events, a PGA of 0.05 g or higher was experienced on over 800 occasions across bridge sites. Damage characteristics were collated from available literature, with the majority of the highway bridges experiencing either no damage or only minor damage across all the events. At PGAs greater than 0.5 g, the number of bridges with moderate and major damage was still relatively small. There were also no apparent differences between the performance of bridges across the different design eras, despite the varied design and construction practices. Some shorter bridges may have performed better than expected due to the effect of abutment stiffness and damping, while some longer bridges may have performed well due to travelling wave effects. These findings will inform future assessment methods and design, and the accuracy of analytical modelling of the bridge stock.
