• Abstract:
  Near-fault earthquakes can have major effects on transportation systems due to the structural damage they impose on bridges. Therefore, it is imperative to assess the seismic damage of bridges appropriately. This research focuses on reinforced concrete (RC) bridges. An improved understanding of the deterioration on the RC bridge column’s structural performance lends itself to better assessment procedures and retrofitting methods. This research advances the seismic assessment of RC single-column pier-supported bridges with flexural failure under near-fault ground motion by using ductility coefficient and damage indices.
