Abstract (EN): This paper focuses on a probabilistic fragility analysis for two groups of bridges: simply supported and continuous bridges subjected to reverse and strike-slip faults respectively. 3-D nonlinear analyses were performed for each set of bridge samples by considering the displacement ductility of the piers. To perform the fragility curves, uncertainties due to the presence of lap splices in columns and superstructure type in terms of continuous or simply supported spans were considered. The results show that the simply supported bridges perform consistently better from a seismic perspective than continuous bridges.
