1 General Provisions

1.0.1 This code is prepared to relieve earthquake damage, avoid casualties and reduce economic loss after the urban bridge is subjected to the seismic fortification.
1.0.2 This code is applicable to urban beam bridge of basic seismic intensity 6, 7, 8, 9 and arch bridge of span not exceeding 150m. The cable-stayed bridge, suspension bridge and long span arch bridge may be designed according to the seismic design principle given in this code.
1.0.3 Basic seismic intensity at the bridge site may be determined according to those specified in Table 1.0.3 by looking up ground motion peak acceleration in Seismic Ground Motion Parameter Zonation Map of China.
Table 1.0.3 Corresponding Relationship Between Basic Seismic Intensity and Ground Motion Peak Acceleration
Basic seismic intensity Intensity 6 Intensity 7 Intensity 8 Intensity 9
Ground motion peak acceleration 0.05g 0.10
