Summary:
This paper summarizes the work developed in order to establish a framework for seismic retrofitting of bridges. In this context, the first objetive is to find a numerical model to evaluate the damage induced in a structure, under seismic action, as an index of its vulnerability. The model used has the advantage that is based on concepts of fracture mechanics and concentrated plasticity. As a result, the work is based on basic principles. The performance of this model is being evaluated. Some results of the computer program developed for this pourpose are shown.
Keywords: Retrofitting, Vulnerability, Damage.
