... 2 Seismic Design of Non-Conventional Bridges The approach to this synthesis was to conduct a literature review about seismic design for non-conventional bridges, survey the 50 state DOTs for their current practice, and collect project-specific criteria for seismic design used in recently constructed non-conventional bridges in the United States. Forty-three responses to the state DOT survey were received.
