Online resources: Summary: Designers' Guide to Eurocode 8: Design of bridges for earthquake resistance is the first guide to focus specifically on EN 1998-2 (Eurocode 8. Part 2 Bridges), the design standard for use in the seismic design of bridges in which horizontal seismic actions are mainly resisted through bending of the piers or at the abutments, however it can also be applied to the seismic design of cable-stayed and arched bridges. As bridge engineering becomes increasingly complex, with the demands of rapid expansion of transportation networks, new priorities in land use and increased awareness of environmental protection requirements, the use of Eurocode 8, covering all aspects of seismic design, is important not only for public safety in seismic regions but also for competitiveness of the consultancy and engineering services sector in Europe and beyond.
