Abstract:

The overarching objective of this project was to produce standard procedures and associated training materials, for the conduct of post-earthquake visual inspection and capacity assessment of damaged reinforced concrete (RC) bridges where the procedures are consistent with both Celtrans seismic design strategies and the extensive body of research laboratory testing that has been conducted in support of Caltrans seismic design. This report presents the fundamental research concepts and experiment-based resources used in the broader development by Caltrans of standard procedures and associated training materials. It includes: (1) a summary report describing principles for classification and capacity assessment of earthquake damaged reinforced concrete bridges, and (2) an extensive visual catalog of RC bridge damage from both laboratory tests and field observations; all characterized using a consistent engineering terminology tied to bridge performance.
