Review on probabilistic seismic demand modeling and estimation for highway bridge

The probabilistic seismic demand model (PSDM) is essential to identify the seismic demand of the highway bridge during and after an earthquake. This paper aims to review the probabilistic seismic demand estimation and modeling methodology options associated with the procedure, analytical analysis, and mathematical framework for a highway bridge. As a result of the review, different techniques with features, applications, and limitations on highway bridges are reviewed and presented. A review has investigated the current PSDM and provides a comprehensive summary with formulas, tables, figures, and frameworks. PSDM steps are constructed and introduced to how scholars use them. Besides, analytical methods are the best choice for investigating the PSDA and PSDM for critical bridge components when damage data is insufficient. They are determined to predict each component’s seismic response for a given deterministic or random variable. This work helps and motivates the decision-makers and stakeholders to extend the application of the PSDM methodology option for a more informed decision.
