Multihazard Damage and Loss Assessment of Bridges in a Highway Network Subjected to Earthquake and Tsunami Hazards

The objective of this study is to examine and compare the vulnerabilities of highway bridges to the combined effects of earthquake shaking, ground failure, and tsunami loading. Earthquake-induced ground shaking, ground failure (e.g., landslides and liquefaction), and tsunami inundation fragility functions are combined with regional hazard data to estimate the damage to bridges in a highway network, direct economic loss, and reduction in traffic capacity.
