ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: In this research, the “Multi State System(MSS)” theory adopted with the electric power distribution system as a seismic performance evaluation technique of the elevated highway bridge so far was applied. That is, it proposed the performance design method of the bridge system that had to capture, to evaluate the seismic performance level of each structural element of the bridge and the entire system in this conception that was not conventional as a structural system, and to aim at the elevated road bridge in the performance design system.
