  • Seismic Design of Bridges in British Columbia: Ten-Year Review
    SEISMIC DESIGN OF BRIDGES IN BRITISH COLUMBIA: TEN-YEAR REVIEW Jamie McINTYRE Structural Engineer, Hatch Mott MacDonald, Vancouver Canada [email protected] Marc GÉRIN Consultant, Ottawa Canada [email protected] Casey LEGGETT Structural Engineer, Hatch Mott MacDonald, Vancouver Canada [email protected] ABSTRACT: Seismic design of bridges in British Columbia has evolved significantly in the last ten years. Developments have comprised three major changes in seismic design practice: (1) improved understanding of seismic hazard—including raising the design earthquake from a 475-year return period to 2475-year return period and better knowledge of the contribution of the nearby Cascadia subduction zone; (2) a shift to a performance-based design philosophy with emphasis on improved post-earthquake performance—including multiple service and damage objectives for multiple levels of ground motions; and (3) increased sophistication of seismic analyses—including both inertial analyses and analyses for liquefaction hazards. The result of these changes should be bridges that perform better and remain functional post-earthquake. These changes are expected to encourage alternatives to the traditional use of column plastic hinging, such as base-isolation. Over the last ten years, base-isolation has been used on few bridges in British Columbia—primarily retrofits of existing structures; however, given its ability to preserve post-earthquake functionality, base-isolation should be a serious consideration for any project. 1. Introduction – Evolution of Seismic Design Practice Seismic design of bridges in British Columbia has evolved significantly in the last ten years, going from a bridge design code using outdated principles to a state of the art new code that implements performance- based design.
