Having a survey. Would really be glad if you answer. 😀
1.) Will the use of class A materials(steel, concrete, deformed bars, & cables) for making a bridge could withstand Earthquakes? Yes or No

2.) Will this type of bridge can withstand an intensity 7 or more earthquake? Yes or No

3.) Is the use of the rubber and the cable wires be effective in bridges as a support? Yes or No

    It's very hard to answer your question in a single word. It's a great engineering knowledge is required to answer for such a question. Since you asked, here are my answers
    1) Yes, if ductile is less
    2) Yes, if perfectly designed
    3) Yes, It's depends on the size and strength of the steel tendons. don't.have knowledge about rubber.

    As i referred some papers .. even after adopting pile foundations some bridges fail due to liquifaction.and design is according to code.Ex. are showa bridge it failed.

    As a structural engg, we have to follow the code of practice for our designs. It means there is no assure that we can control the nature & disaster. But we can predict that using the codes. There are many R&D's are done to create the code.
    Liquefaction is the property of the soil.
