The　damage　characteristics　and　shapes　of　bridges,　especially　bridges　in　mountainous　area　were　summarized　through　investigating　the　seismic　damage　of　bridges　in　strong　earthquake　areas　of　Wenchuan　earthquake　in　2008.　The　damage　reasons　were　primarily　explained.　Some　advices　were　presented　for　seismic　assessment　and　retrofit　of　bridges　in　Wenchuan　earthquake　area.　At　the　same　time,　some　reasonable　advices　for　future　seismic　design　of　bridges,　especially　bridges　in　mountainous　area　were　presented.
