Slide25 : The new SCDOT specifications establish design and construction provisions for bridges in South Carolina to minimize their susceptibility to damage from large earthquakes. SCDOT Seismic Design Specifications October 2001


PURPOSE & PHILOSOPHY (1.1) : PURPOSE & PHILOSOPHY (1.1) SCDOT Seismic Design Specifications replace AASHTO Division I-A SCDOT Draft Principles used for the development Small to moderate earthquakes, FEE, resisted within the essentially elastic range. State-of-Practice ground motion intensities are used. Large earthquakes, SEE, should not cause collapse. Four Seismic Performance Categories (SPC) are defined to cover the variation in seismic hazard of very small to high within the State of South Carolina.

APPLICABILITY (3.1) : APPLICABILITY (3.1) New Bridges Bridge Types Slab Beam Girder Box Girder Spans less than 500 feet Minimum Requirements Additional Provisions are needed to achieve higher performance for essential or critical bridges


DESIGN PHILOSOPHY AND STRATEGIES : DESIGN PHILOSOPHY AND STRATEGIES Specifications can be used in conjunction with rehabilitation, widening, or retrofit SPC B demands are compared implicitly against capacities Criteria is focused on member/component deformability as well as global ductility Inherent member capacities are used to resist higher earthquake intensities Using this approach required performance levels can be achieved in the Eastern US
