About this document
Seismic Design Strength in Bridges by sourabh mahana is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses the consequences of overestimating or underestimating design strength and overstrength capacity in seismic design. Overestimating design strength may lead to more plastic deformation but will not significantly impact performance as long as the system is detailed for ductility. Underestimating overstrength capacity is more serious as it can result in brittle failure modes like shear failure or column hinging, violating capacity design principles and desensitizing the structure to high
