An Investigation of the Effectiveness of Existing Bridge Design Methodology in Providing Adequate Structural Resistance to Seismic Disturbances. Phase I: Literature Survey
Descriptions of the damages sustained by bridge structures during moderate to severe earthquakes in many countries of the world are given. Particular emphasis is placed on the damages occurring in Japan where the incidence of damage has been considerable. Surveys of important research investigations on seismic effects on bridges are presented. These investigations are classified into the following categories: (1) Seismicity, (2) characteristics of strong ground motions, (3) bearing capacity and stability of soils, (4) earth pressures, (5) hydraulic pressures, (6) dynamic properties of bridges, (7) dynamic analyses of bridges, and (8) laboratory experiments. Specifications for the earthquake-resistant design of bridges as used by many organizations are also included. Portions of this document are not fully legible.
