When evaluating the earthquake risk to transportation system it is important to take into account the integrated effect of ground motion, liquefaction and landslides on the network system. In this paper, the contribution of each of the site effects to the loss from damage to bridges is estimated using the San Francisco Bay area as a test bed. Four scenario earthquakes are considered for the analysis. Damage and loss to bridges from ground shaking and ground displacements (vertical and horizontal) from liquefaction and landslides are estimated. It is found that liquefaction damage is the largest contributor to the direct repair cost.
