In order for structures to survive they must have the capability to dissipate this input energy through either their inherent damping mechanism or inelastic deformation. This issue of energy dissipation becomes even more acute for bridge structures because most bridges especially long-span bridges possess very low inherent damping usually less than 5 of critical. When these structures are subjected to strong earthquake motions excessive deformations can occur by relying on only inherent damping and inelastic deformation. For bridges designed mainly for gravity and service loads excessive deformation leads to severe damage or even collapse. In the instances of major bridge crossings as was the case of the San Francisco-Oakland 2000 by CRC Press LLC .
