Earthquake Damage of Curved Highway Bridges in 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake
The curved bridges suffered severe damages or even collapsed during 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake. A field survey of seismic performance of RC curved bridges was examined. Damage patterns and the probable causes of RC curved bridges including Baihua bridge and ramp bridge of Huilan interchange are presented and analyzed in this paper. The main failure was pure shear failure or shear-flexural failure of the pier columns. Bearings and expansion joints damage were another common failure pattern. Lesson learned from the damage of RC curved bridges in this earthquake, the recommendations on the seismic design of RC curved bridges are presented involving ductility of bridge columns, design of curved bridges, design of bearings and devices preventing girders falling down. Suggestions for the future seismic design and retrofitting of RC curved bridges are also presented in moderate to severe earthquake area.
