Abstract
The Seismic Design Specifications for Highway Bridges have been developed to provide the SCDOT's bridge designers with a guide to design criteria, analysis methods and detailing procedures for the preparation of highway bridge plans. The primary function of the Specifications is to provide minimum requirements for use by bridge designers to achieve public safety in an earthquake that is likely to occur in the State of South Carolina. The implementation of the Specifications is intended to safeguard against major failures and loss of life, to minimize damage, to maintain functions, and/or to provide for expedited repair.
