Abstract
The Manhattan Bridge, spanning the East River between lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, is undergoing retrofit to correct deficiencies caused by corrosion and unsymmetrical loading. Simultaneously, the bridge is being evaluated for seismic performance to determine if this should be a factor in the overall rehabilitation program. This paper describes the assumptions and analytical modeling for seismic effects and discusses some of the findings and recommendations.
