IMPROVING THE SEISMIC SAFETY OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BRIDGES

Massive bridges should be designed to reduce the seismic forces on supporting structures. This can be done principally by allowing a limited movement between the bridge deck and the substructure. Additionally, some structural details need to be improved. This paper suggests some possible design solutions to improve the seismic safety of prestressed concrete bridges.
