Abstrakt: Earthquake is a kind of unexpected natural disaster that happens due to a sudden movement of tectonic plates within the Earth, noted as Inter-plate earthquake and Intra-plate earthquake. Due to these movements, slips produced at the faults on the Earth's surface in two directions, well-known as Dip-slip and Strike-slip. According to pervious research, many researchers have emphasized on analysis, research and investigations based especially in lateral direction movement (strike-slip) and it is rarely found to discuss about earthquakes in vertical and horizontal direction movement (dip-slip). In the past, the most hazard earthquakes occurred due to vertical ground motions and documents about enormous losses and damages on living things and non-livings show that dip-slip movements should be added in consideration in earthquake prone areas. Though it is suggested not to build the structures in seismic area, it is not possible in practice especially for bridges. In this review, the author discussed about the seismic performance of bridges in seismic vicinity based on fragility curve tool. The article also includes the review of seismic bridge performance near fault in the various aspects such as soil-pile interaction, bridge span, pier shape, skew angle and so on. The fragility curve is to measure seismic vulnerability and forecast the probability of unexpected seismic vulnerability in four damage states. The review article concludes with suggestions and recommendations based on the previous findings and research for further study in this field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
