Abstract
-- This research is aim to study the effects of sliding
tectonic plates on bridges and find out the solution for bridges
across the rupture area of the active fault. Although it maybe impossible
to avoid the damages such as bridge collapsing and column tilting,
the study will provide ideas and recommendations for planning of
the bridges across the fault to avoid or minimize both the damages
on bridge structures as well as the human lives after the destructive
earthquakes.
