Abstract:

Five parkways in Western Kentucky are located in the region that is greatly influenced by the New Madrid and Wabash Valley Seismic Zones. This report executes a preliminary screening process, known also as the Seismic Rating System, for bridges on and over parkways in Western Kentucky to identify the seismic vulnerable bridges. ; The ranking of bridges derived from this rating system is based on: structural vulnerability, seismic and geotechnical hazards, and bridge importance. There are 349 bridges were ranked with the Seismic Inventory of Bridges (SIB), a user-oriented database program developed according to the Seismic Retrofitting Manual. The bridge ranks (R) range from a low of 0 to a high of 75, based on a scale of 100. ; According to the seismic rank and regularity of bridges on and over the parkways in Western Kentucky, there are a total of 17 bridges, including parallel bridges, were selected for detailed seismic analysis. The 17-bridges have an average ranking of 58, with a highest bridge rank of 75.
