Abstract

This paper presents the history and development of criteria for both the design response-spectrum method for ordinary, common bridges analyzed by the modal-superposition method, and the ground-motion time-history analysis method and inputs for designing major, important long-span bridges. This paper addresses various challenges encountered by the designers related to implementation of ground-motion design criteria.
