Seismic vulnerability assessment of motorway bridges
The paper presents a general Seismic Vulnerability Benchmark System (SVBS) for bridges, developed within the framework of the research project »Seismic vulnerability assessment of bridges in Germany« funded by the German Federal Highway Research Institute. For each bridge type, a three-level vulnerability assessment procedure is provided and the system is linked to the national database which contains detailed information of all important motorway bridges in Germany. The level of assessment and the corresponding effort can be chosen depending on the importance of the bridge and the required scope and accuracy of the results. The practical use of the method is demonstrated by an example dealing with the Rhine bridge Emmerich, the longest suspension bridge in Germany.
