This study aims to investigate the impact of different ground motion selection and scaling (GMSS) approaches on the seismic response assessment of bridge structures. Nonlinear response history analyses (NRHAs) are conducted on a typical three-span bridge located in five sites across California.

DOI: 10.34948/N3V88J
The report presents the data considered in the regional geo-hazards assessments, the methodologies for liquefaction and landslide displacements analyses and the grouping thereof into polygons, and the results of these analyses for an example region in southern California for scenario events.
