The main goal of the proposed research program is to develop a new methodology for the seismic vulnerability assessment of bridges. The methodology is based on the use of deformation hazard curves, which represent the mean annual probabilities of exceedance of different deformation levels (from elastic deformations to collapse). The deformation hazard curves have significant advantages compared with the fragility curves that are currently used. Namely, the deformation hazard curves cover all the responses that the bridge might experience during its lifespan, and include the effects of the seismic hazard at the bridge location. The responses are quantified by a selected single global deformation parameter, and the seismic hazard at the bridge location is represented by the annual probability of exceedance of different levels of an intensity measure. The deformation parameter and the intensity measure are key parameters in the methodology, and special investigations are proposed for the selection of these parameters.

拟议的研究计划的主要目标是开发一种新的桥梁地震易损性评估方法。该方法是基于使用的变形危险曲线，代表不同的变形水平（从弹性变形到崩溃）的平均每年的概率。与目前使用的脆性曲线相比，变形危险曲线具有明显的优势。也就是说，变形危险曲线涵盖了桥梁在其使用寿命期间可能经历的所有响应，并包括桥梁位置处的地震危险的影响。响应由选定的单个全局变形参数量化，桥梁位置的地震危险性由不同强度测量水平的年度超越概率表示。变形参数和强度测量是方法中的关键参数，并提出了这些参数的选择的特别调查。
