Analysis of Earthquake Damage to Traffic Facilities in Western China’s Mountainous Areas and its Countermeasures

This paper lists the types of direct and indirect damages to the traffic facilities caused by an earthquake, which hit the mountainous areas in the west of China, analyses the reasons for the damage to roads, bridges, tunnels, then puts forward a method to solve the problem in order to improve the anti-seismic ability of traffic facilities. The purpose is that by creating some targeted measures, the damages to the traffic facilities can be effectively reduced in these areas.
