The torsional eects on short-span highway bridges are investigated for two situations: post-design asymmetric bridges and nominally symmetric bridges subject to seismically induced torque. The study indicates that for postdesign asymmetric bridges the presence of accidental post-design asymmetric fa

This paper addresses the elastic dynamic response of simply supported bridges to ground motion in their transverse direction. The interaction between superstructure and support #exibilities is studied in a systematic manner for symmetric spans. The bridges are modelled as beams with uniformly distri
## Abstract Fragility curves express the probability of structural damage due to earthquakes as a function of ground motion indices, e.g., PGA, PGV. Based on the actual damage data of highway bridges from the 1995 HyogokenβNanbu (Kobe) earthquake, a set of empirical fragility curves was constructed
