  1. Click ‘Get Form’ to open the SEISMIC DESIGN CRITERIA document in the editor.
  2. Begin with the 'Introduction' section. Familiarize yourself with the purpose of the document, which outlines minimum seismic design requirements for Ordinary bridges.
  3. Move to Section 1.1, where you will define an Ordinary Standard Bridge. Fill in details such as span lengths and construction materials as required.
  4. In Section 2, focus on 'Demands on Structure Components.' Input data regarding ground motion representation and spectral acceleration based on your project specifics.
  5. Proceed to Section 3, detailing capacities of structure components. Ensure you accurately input values for ductile members and shear demands.
  6. Review Sections 4 through 7 for performance criteria, analysis methods, and design requirements. Use our platform's features to highlight or annotate important sections for easy reference.

Knowledge of the buildings period, torsion, damping, ductility, strength, stiffness, and configuration can help one determine the most appropriate seismic design devices and mitigation strategies to employ.
Design spectral accelerations (SDS and SD1) are obtained by multiplying SMS and SM1 by 2/3 - that is SDS = (2/3) SMS and SD1 = (2/3) SM1.
Seismic Design Category D -Corresponds to buildings and structures in areas expected to experience severe and destructive ground shaking But NOT located close to a major fault. Sites with poor soil are a good example.
Seismic Design Philosophy. The design criteria and recommendations described herein take into account the seismic motions and seismic generated forces having a rea- sonable degree of probability of occurrence along the route of the pipeline.
SEISMIC PERFORMANCE RELEVANCE TO ANCHOR CONNECTIONS Seismic category C2 is also required for non-structural elements for high importance buildings and high ground acceleration zones. Whereas for buildings with a low importance class in low ground acceleration zones seismic category C1 is required.
