摘要: |
The objective of this synthesis is to document seismic design approaches and criteria used for “non-conventional” bridges, such as long-span cable-supported bridges, bridges with truss tower substructures, and arch bridges. Information used in this study was gathered through a literature review, a survey of state departments of transportation (DOTs), and an analysis of design criteria documents provided by agencies that have recent experience with seismic design of non-conventional bridges. Seismic design criteria for 11 bridge projects provides additional information on the subject. David Goodyear and Hans Lund, T.Y. Lin International, collected and synthesized the information and wrote the report. This synthesis is an immediately useful document that records the practices that were acceptable with the limitations of the knowledge available at the time of its preparation. As progress in research and practice continues, new knowledge will be added to that now at hand. |
