| Abstract: |
This paper presents damage of bridges during the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake. Effectiveness of recent development of seismic design and implementation of seismic retrofit is evaluated based on comparison of the damage during the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and the 1978 Miyagi-ken-oki earthquake. Tsunami-induced damage is also presented for bridges along the Pacific Coast. Typical feature of tsunami-induced damage is presented based on a field investigation. |
