Seismic Design Force
Seismic Design Force Seismic design force should be determined based on the seismic environment (seismicity, fault length and rupture, etc) around the construction sites Seismic hazard map in terms of PGA is frequently used to scale the seismic design force. Response accelerations are widely used to provide the seismic design force of bridges. Multiplying it to mass, lateral force can be directly evaluated.
Seismic Design Force (continued) Standard response spectra are generally modified to take account of regional seismicity as S A (, ξ ) = c S (, ξ ) design z A s tan dard Importance of structures are sometimes reflected to evaluate the design seismic force. here are two groups in this treatment as Larger design seismic force is considered for a structure with higher importance Since seismic force which applies to a structure does not change depending on the importance of the structure, the importance is considered in the evaluation of the capacity

Residual Displacement Significance of Bridges with Fewer Static Indeterminacy than Buildings Plastic Hinges
Features of Japanese Practice in the Evaluation of Design Ductility Capacity Compute design ductility factor for every columns using the fiber element analysis. In the fiber element analysis, stress vs. strain relations of confined concrete and bars are explicitly considered. Characteristics of ground motions (loading hysteresis & number of repeated loadings) is accounted in the evaluation of the ultimate displacement, therefore the ultimate displacement depends on the ground motions (ype I & II ground motions).
Importance of bridges is accounted for not in the evaluation of design ground motions but in the evaluation of design ductility factor o account for repairability, residual displacement that would occur after an earthquake is checked
