ABSTRACT
Beginning in the mid 1990's, the first seismic retrofit evaluation projects were carried out for large highway bridges in the eastern U.S. We summarize experiences gained from these projects. A major findings is, that while the seismicity rates are often low, and the seismic hazard is moderate, the seismic risk potential can be high in large cities with a large stock of aged structural inventory.First results indicate that retrofit of some portions of some of the investigated bridges would be desirable in order to meet considered seismic perfomance criteria.(AU)
