Insights from Nationwide Survey of Seismic Restoration Models of Bridge Components

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Highway girder bridges are the most widespread type of bridges in the transportation network of China as well as many other countries around the world. Restoration models of bridge components, which is vital to the seismic resilience assessment of full bridges, are yet to be well established in China. To fill in this gap, the authors have performed a nationwide expert-opinion survey to develop deterministic and probabilistic restoration models for highway bridge components. The present study reports and discusses some insights from the survey results, in terms of but not limited to the influence of structural component damage states on the restoration models. The outcome is expected to advance the seismic resilience assessment of highway bridges in China and can also be a reference for other regions of the world.
