Further comments on seismic design loads for bridges
1981
Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering
This paper provides background material to the loadings section of the model code recently published by the Society's Discussion Group on Bridge Design, and presents a preliminary re-evaluation of the design spectra given in the proposed code. The basis for the proposed zoning scheme, in which the present uniform Zone B is replaced by a transition zone, is discussed. Arguments are given underlying the return period coefficients, and the force reduction factor used in generating the inelastic
