I have not read Priestly MJN, Seible F, et.al.,"Seismic Design and Retrofit of Bridges," 1996 till now but I wish to. If someone have this book please post it. I have the first book Paulay T and Priestly MJN, "Seismic Deisgn of Reinforced Concrete and Masonry Buildings," 1992 and I have posted in the forum.
I scanned through the book but they haven't mentioned about the design philosophy i.e., why strong beam weak column principle is used for bridge design.
Product Description:
Emphasizes actual structural design, not analysis, of multistory buildings for seismic resistance. Strong emphasis is placed on specific detailing requirements for construction. Fundamental design principles are presented to create buildings that respond to a wide range of potential seismic forces, which are illustrated by numerous detailed examples. The discussion includes the design of reinforced concrete ductile frames, structural walls, dual systems, reinforced masonry structures, buildings with restricted ductility and foundation walls. In addition to the examples, full design calculations are given for three prototype structures.

The Earthquake Engineering - Strong Motion Group is a research group of the University of Southern California, Civil Engineering Department. Its research focuses on: (i) earthquake strong ground motion for engineering applications, and (ii) earthquake response of man made structures, aiming to improvement of the seismic design procedures and earthquake risks reduction. Its research is interdisciplinary, and covers a wide range of topics, such as: earthquake source mechanism, seismic wave propagation, site and propagation path effects on strong ground motion, prediction of strong ground motion for design (peak amplitudes, duration, and spectral characteristics…), probabilistic seismic hazard assessment, strong motion recording and data processing, soil-structure interaction, structural identification and health monitoring using ambient noise and forced vibrations, effects of various realistic representations of strong ground motion on structures. The group operates the Los Angeles and Vicinity Strong Motion Network, installed in 1979/80, which has contributed valuable data for numerous engineering and seismological studies The group also maintains and develops equipment and processing methods for ambient vibration testing of full-scale structures. The group was formed in 1976 when Prof. M.D. Trifunac joined the Civil Engineering faculty.
