Abstract: Transport system has been severely damaged during the M8.0 Wenchuan earthquake; several bridges near the faultage are damaged severely and even collapsed, which lays great impact on the rescue and reconstruction after the earthquake. With the site characteristics of near-faultage, the damage of several near-faultage bridges is analyzed h detail.At the same time, some reasonable suggestions for future seismic design of bridges are presented as follow: firstly,choosing a good site far from the faultage is very important for the bridge construction; secondly the reasonable seismic structure of bridge can reduce the bi-dirctional seismic action;meanwhile, the effect of vertical seismic action on bridges should be fully considered; thirdly, bridges should be designed in ductility in order to avoid the fragile destruction on piers; finally,designing piers reasonably and reinforcing the connections of bridge blocks can effectively prevent girder from falling in the earthquake.
