ABSTRACT

On May 21, 2021, a earthquake with Ms6.4 occurred in Yangbi County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province, which caused 3 deaths and 34 injuries and direct economic damage of 327,110,000 RMB, resulting in severe impacts on the property and life safety of local people. This paper presents a macroscopic description of the damage of a local prestressed hollow slab bridge, Jinxing Bridge, and analyzes its damage characteristics, and proposes effective seismic measures to provide a reference for the seismic design of similar bridges in the future and to make people more directly aware of earthquakes and their hazards.
