ABSTRACT
This paper describes the revised Seismic Design Specifications of Highway bridges in 1996 as well as the background of the revision. Damage features of bridges in the 1995 Hyogo-Ken Nambu Earthquake is first described with an emphasis on the lesson learned from the earthquake. Seismic performance levels and design method as well as the seismic design force introduced in the 1996 Design Specifications are then described. (AU)
