An Investigation of the Effectiveness of Existing Bridge Design Methodology in Providing Adequate Structural Resistance to Seismic Disturbances, Phase VII Summary
This report presents brief summaries of the reports listed below. It also presents general design and research recommendations for highway bridges based on the knowledge and experiences gained during this seven-year investigation. The summaried reports are: (1) A thorough review of the world's literature on seismic effects on highway bridge structures including damages to bridges during the San Fernando earthquake of February 9, 1971; (2) An analytical investigation of the dynamic response of long, multiple-span, highway overcrossings; (3) An analytical investigation of the dynamic response of short, single and multiple-span highway overcrossings; (4) Detailed model experiments on a shaking table to provide dynamic response data similar to prototype behavior which can be used to verify the validity of theoretical response predictions; (5) Correlation of dynamic response data obtained from shaking table experiments with theoretical response and modification of analytical procedures as found necessary; and (6) Analytical investigation of the seismic response of bridges conducted on case studies to evaluate and make recommendations pertinent to current seismic design provisions and methodology.
