Abstract
The Skytrain Fraser River Crossing near Vancouver is a cable-stayed br idge completed in late 1988. The bridge is located in a highly seismic area with different soil conditions on the two banks of the river and liquefaction potential in the event of a major earthquake. This paper discusses the analysis and design considerations of the bridge for ea rthquake effects. Discussed in the paper are site conditions, design c riteria, input motion, analysis methods, and design parameters.
