Preliminary Evaluation of the Seismic Vulnerability of Existing Bridges
The preliminary evaluation studies of the vulnerability of existing bridges to earthquakes constitute a key step in the consideration of the reduction of seismic risk at the scale of a given territory. This chapter first presents the experimental feedback from past earthquakes, in particular with the analysis of seismic behavior in bridges and the main causes of failures and associated weakness points, along with a presentation of the approaches developed abroad (Japan, California, Switzerland) for the evaluation of seismic vulnerability of these constructions. Next, the chapter talks about Sismoa method for the preliminary evaluation of the seismic vulnerability of bridges adapted to the French context.
