Description
This project looks at the seismic retrofit of the Mt. Hermon Road Bridge using the original plans and geotechnical data. The research analyzes the bridge's geometry, supports, and foundation conditions to identify structural vulnerabilities under seismic loading. To check how well the foundation worked, we used soil data from test borings. The retrofit focuses on making the hinges better and strengthening the structure to make it more stable and flexible. In general, the project shows that combining structural and geotechnical analysis makes bridges safer in earthquakes and better at doing their jobs.
