N2 - Multi-column pier supported and wall pier supported bridge structures comprise approximately 86% of the highway bridges located on or crossing over southern Illinois priority emergency routes. To assess their vulnerability to a New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ) event, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has undertaken several research projects. As part of this assessment, the seismic vulnerability of the two most common bridge types are being examined. This paper presents the findings (fragility curves) for the wall pier supported structures, which comprise about 28% of the total, and gives general implications of these findings on the status of the IDOT priority emergency route network.
