PBEE Procedures Report for Bridges and Benchmarking Performance of RC Bridges The goal of this project is to demonstrate how to use the PEER tools for probabilistic seismic performance assessment to highway overpass bridge structures. Such tools enable assessment of bridge performance in terms of the potential for bridge collapse in an earthquake, cost of repair of such a bridge after an earthquake, and the ability of the bridge to carry a given level of traffic load after an earthquake. The intended users of such tools are bridge engineers and highway system maintenance and emergency management professionals. This project has two objectives. The first objective is to complete the benchmarking of the PEER PBEE procedure to the bridge test-bed developed in PEER project 2004209. This PBEE procedure was successfully applied up to the DM level. Repair cost data will be collected in order to extend the PBEE procedure to the DV level. The second objective is to complete the PBEE procedure report as it applies to bridges, and to provide support for other researchers working in the PEER bridge group on the test-bed bridge models to enable them to complete their portions of the PEER procedures report. The intended users of the results of this study are: (1) PEER researchers working to enhance performance of bridges in geotechnical and structural engineering domains; and (2) Caltrans engineers who want to implement the PEER methodology in their design process.
