Abstract: Seismic assessment started long ago during the Spain colonization in the Philippines, observation of the effects to the
structure after an earthquake by naked eye and documentation of each recorded effects has now evolved to different methods that
analyses the performance of a building using calculations and software. The bridge was modeled using a computer software package.
After the simulations, the researcher obtained set of seismic fragility curves. The research study tackled the Non-linear Static
Analysis or the Pushover Analysis, the Non-linear Dynamic Analysis or the Time History Analysis, the ductility factors and then
gaining the Fragility curves. Developed seismic fragility curves show the performance of the bridges pier at each peak ground
acceleration. The Plaridel Bridge can withstand the earthquakes occurring in the Philippines based from the maiden structural plans.
Key words: seismic fragility curves, pushover curves, time history analysis, hysteresis.
The live load for Pier 9 was computed using the formula
based from AASHTO HS-44:
