The most relevant improvement in the design methods for bridge structures traditionally followed new evindence in damage and collapse due to the major earthquakes. This logical process is critically review through the description of the most recent experience in bridge design and assessment, emphasizing its progressive evolution from acting force and strength, to ductility capacity and demand, to displacement — based approaches. Some controversial or often neglected aspects, related to seismic input, response and design issues are discussed.
