Abstract:The Oregon Department of Transportation and Portland State University evaluated the seismic
vulnerability of state highway bridges in western Oregon. The study used a computer program
called REDARS2 that simulated the damage to bridges within a transportation network. It
predicted ground motions for a specific location and magnitude of earthquake, resulting bridge
damage and the cost of the damage, as well as the cost to the public for traffic delays due to
detours around damaged bridges. Estimated damage and delay costs were presented for major
highways in the region.
