Abstract
The severe accidents suffered by bridges during recent
earthquake show that more careful analysis are needed to
guarantee their behaviour. In particular simplified non-linear
analysis could be useful to bridge the gap between theoretical
research and practical applications. This paper presents one of
those simplified methods that can be applied for first designs or
to retrofitting of groups of bridges.
