Seismic Vulnerability Evaluation of Existing Reinforced Concrete Bridge Structures


Abstract eng:
The present paper describes a methodology with its different steps used for assessing the vulnerability of existing reinforced concrete bridges at the capital city of Algeria, Algiers. The methodology was applied to 148 reinforced concrete bridges localized at Algiers and represents a part of the strategic bridges. It is a simple and efficient inspection method for the preliminary evaluation of seismic vulnerability of existing bridges. This assessment was conducted based on two earthquake scenarios considering two existing faults that can generate earthquakes with a maximum acceleration of 0.8g. The main findings of this study are summarized in this paper.
