Overview

Analysis reveals increased seismic demands on girder bridges from near-fault motions and soft sites, indicating the need for updated design codes.

Key Points

  • Increased seismic demands were found for girder bridges exposed to near-fault ground motions, especially on softer sites.
  • The study observed significant variations in response spectra impacted by pulse-like ground motions in near-fault regions.
  • Using a finite element model, the effects of site class and vertical components on bridge pier internal forces were evaluated.
  • These findings may support the development of improved seismic design recommendations for bridges in vulnerable areas.
