Abstract:

Will future California earthquakes again cause destruction of portions of California’s transportation system, or will their impacts be controlled to limit the damage and disruption any large earthquake will cause? This is the key question addressed by the Caltrans Seismic Advisory Board in this report. Much has been accomplished, but more remains to be done. The highest priority goals are repairing and retrofitting state-owned and state-maintained critical bridges. However, there are still hundreds of other vulnerable bridges owned by local or regional agencies that require analysis and retrofit. The Caltrans Seismic Advisory Board (SAB) has assessed the current state of affairs and concluded that there are seven priority recommendations that need to be acted on if the state is not to re-experience the calamities of the past—loss of life, collapse of highway bridges, and billions of dollars in disruptions to California’s economy.
