About this document
Seismic Design Specifications for Bridges by wajid is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes the steps to calculate seismic design forces for a bridge according to AASHTO specifications. It identifies that the bridge is in seismic zone 3 with an acceleration coefficient A of 0.3, importance category of essential, site coefficient S of 2, and elastic seismic response coefficient Csm of 0.75. Based on these factors and the bridge properties, the equivalent lateral seismic design force Fxd is calculated to be 330.6 kips.
