This article presents the damage of bridges resulting from the 2010 Maule, Chile earthquake based on site investigations. Features of bridge damage are presented and discussed with emphasis on the effect of in-plane rotation of skewed bridges, insufficient seat support length, absence of integrity of prestressed concrete girder bridges without diaphragms, and lack of bearing capacity of foundations.
