Caltrans Seismic Design Criteria Version 1.6

The Caltrans Seismic Design Criteria (SDC) specifies the minimum seismic design requirements that are necessary to meet the performance goals for ordinary bridges. When the Design Seismic Hazards occur, ordinary bridges designed per these specifications are expected to remain standing but may suffer significant damage requiring closure. The SDC is a compilation of new and existing seismic design criteria documented in various publications. The goal of this document is to update all the Structure Design manuals on a periodic basis to reflect the current state of practice for seismic bridge design.
