ABSTRACT　　　　　　　　　　　　A　novel　self-centering　energy　dissipation　brace　(SCEB)　was　developed　to　enhance　the　seismic　resilience　of　bridges.　In　this　paper,　the　replaceable　SCEBs　are　installed　between　the　double-column　bent　transversely　and　at　the　abutment　longitudinally.　Taking　both　the　seismic　safety　and　resilience　into　consideration,　the　seismic　performance　of　bridges　retrofitted　by　braces　under　near-fault　(NF)　pulse-like　ground　motions　was　evaluated　by　the　probabilistic　approach.　Results　show　that　the　original　and　retrofitted　bridges　exhibit　higher　damage　probabilities　under　NF　pulse-like　ground　motions.　The　bridges　retrofitted　with　SCEBs　exhibit　better　seismic　resilience　than　the　bridges　with　buckling　restrained　braces　when　intensity　measure　increases.
