Description

RC bridges with seismic designed (after 1985) Portugal Portuguese bridges. The considered classes take into account, among other aspects: the type of material (masonry or reinforced concrete), the type of solution (arches, single span, multiple spans), the type of connection to the abutments (free or monolithic), the type of deck (slab or slab with girders), the number of column alignments in the transverse direction, the type of bridge or viaduct (passage over the freeway or under it) and the date of design (before or after 1985, the year the current Portuguese seismic code was implemented).$Paragraph$The HAZUS curves are modified through appropriate correction factors, taking into account the Portoguese seismic code criteria. $Paragraph$The use of acceleration response spectrum corresponding to a 1.0 s as intensity measure type has been justified from the fact that it is not far away from the fundamental periods of a large number of examined structures. Fragility parameters: Medians=[0.531, 0.65, 0.823, 1.094], Standard deviations=[0.221, 0.271, 0.343, 0.456] Syner-G taxonomy: MM1=C MM2=RC TD1= TD2= DC= DSS= PDC= TC1= NP= TS1= TS2= HP= Sp= SC= TCa= BC= LS=SD Taxonomy link: https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/bitstream/JRC80560/lbna25883enn.pdf
