ON SPECIFICATIONS FOR EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT DESIGN OF HIGHWAY BRIDGES (JANUARY 1971)

In 1966 the Ministry of Construction commissioned the Japan Road Association to draw up new comprehensive specifications for earthquake-resistant design of highway bridges in order to rationalize earthquake-resistant design criteria for bridges and accordingly to afford maximum protection against earthquakes at minimum cost. The committee finished its task in January 1971. The paper describes the specifications, including materials, design loads including dynamic loads, design coefficients, stresses, soils and other factors.
