Abstract

Through analyzing the typical damage characteristic of bridges and corresponding earthquake disaster data in several destructive earthquakes at home and abroad, the law of earthquake damage on bridges has been summarized. Aiming at current aseismatic research and design of highway bridges, further research direction in the field of bridge seismic has been pointed out. In order to improve the seismic behavior of future bridges, some design points to attention have been proposed based on seismic conceptual design and aseismic measures of bridges.
