Expert review (in collaboration with Jean-Pierre Bardet, University of Southern California) of seismic soil-structure interaction analyses for a selected bent of the Île d'Orléans Bridge — a suspension bridge built in 1934 spanning the St-Lawrence River between Quebec City and Île d'Orléans. Assessment included: (i) adequacy of methodology for site specific seismic hazard definition; (ii) appropriateness of structural models and analysis approaches; (iii) credibility of obtained results; and (iv) additional work needed to support the report's conclusions.ARUP
