The book focuses on the use of inelastic analysis methods for the seismic assessment and design of bridges, for which the work carried out so far, albeit interesting and useful, is nevertheless clearly less than that for buildings. Although some valuable literature on the subject is currently available, the most advanced inelastic analysis methods that emerged during the last decade are currently found only in the specialised research-oriented literature, such as technical journals and conference proceedings. Hence the key objective of this book is two-fold, first to present all important methods belonging to the aforementioned category in a uniform and sufficient for their understanding and implementation length, and to provide also a critical perspective on them by including selected case-studies wherein more than one methods are applied to a specific bridge and by offering some critical comments on the limitations of the individual methods and on their relative efficiency. The book should be a valuable tool for both researchers and practicing engineers dealing with seismic design and assessment of bridges, by both making the methods and the analytical tools available for their implementation, and by assisting them to select the method that best suits the individual bridge projects that each engineer and/or researcher faces.

"TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 440, Performance-Based Seismic Bridge Design (PBSD) summarizes the current state of knowledge and practice for PBSD. PBSD is the process that links decision making for facility design with seismic input, facility response, and potential facility damage. The goal of PBSD is to provide decision makers and stakeholders with data that will enable them to allocate resources for construction based on levels of desired seismic performance"--Publisher's description.

There are nearly 610,000 public road bridges across the United States; approximately 25000 of existing bridges are locate in California--a high seismic zone. Observations from previous seismic events reveal that earthquakes have a significant damaging effect on bridges leading to major consequence on the economy of the affected area. In light of these effects, various studies have focused on quantifying the seismic vulnerability of bridges aiming at improving bridge design codes accordingly.The research effort presented herein intends to develop a comprehensive and efficient model that includes the coupling of bridge critical components such as shear keys, backfill passive pressure, and soil-pile-structure interaction; the missing piece of previous research in bridge seismic demand assessment. This research fills the gap between the recommended modeling approaches by seismic design guidelines--which are rather simple--and the current state-of-the-art bridge component modeling techniques that are mostly developed based on experimental data or advanced continuum finite element models. Meanwhile, we expand PEER's Performance-Base Earthquake Engineering (PBEE) framework to include the impact of progressive deterioration during the life-time of the bridge as well as contribution of aftershock in seismic response assessment.The sensitivity of important engineering demand parameters associated with shear key, backfill, and deep foundation behaviors are quantified. We demonstrate that shear key behavior, and foundation model have a significant effect on the seismic response of ordinary bridges. The failure modes of bridges exhibit a high sensitivity to the type of backfill soil--and their adopted models--coupled with the behavior of the shear keys. Finally, we show that the bridge seismic response is not sensitive to the uniform corrosion of column rebars; however, excluding the aftershock loading results in underestimating bridge demands significantly.
