REPORT OF THE INVESTIGATION ON EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE TO SHIZUNAI BRIDGE

Shizunai Bridge is on national highway route 235 and spans the Shizunai River at Shizunai River at Shizunai-cho in Hokkaido. It sustained tremendous damage during the Urakawaoki Earthquake which occured on 21 March 1982. The damage to the other public facilities in the area was slight and only that to the Shizunai Bridge was severe, with the failure characteristics of the bridge piers being different from those of other reinforced concrete structures. The Ministry of Construction organized a group to investigate the eqrthquake damage on the Shizunai Bridge, and conducted research to determine the cause of the damage. This is the summary of its report. (Author)
