Sažetak
Croatian bridges have been built in different times, always in step with or even ahead of the world’s achievements. In seismically active areas it is of paramount importance to design bridges with ductile behaviour. Many bridges built before the modern Eurocodes came into force, were designed according to standards which did not offer provisions for structural detailing facilitating their ductile behaviour. Unfortunately, we learnt hard way that earthquake is a natural phenomenon which can be expected to happen in our country, and which needs to be appropriately considered in the management of the existing transport infrastructure. This is because bridges are often its key elements, and the ability to use them immediately after an earthquake is extremely important.
