A case study is conducted on the Painter Street Overcrossing (PSO), a typical highway bridge in California, to realize the performance-based optimization of seismic protective devices. By considering multiple base isolation designs, component-level fragility functions are derived first for this bridge by using the 'scaling' approach. In this stage, the derived fragility functions are conditioned on ground motion intensity measures and remain distinct for different isolation designs. However, almost identical fragility curves are obtained when they are conditioned on the corresponding median engineering demand parameters instead. Thereafter, system-level repair cost ratio is calculated by using the performance-based methodology and the associated uniform fragility curves at each damage state. The derived repair cost ratio turns into a uniform surface across different isolation designs, which can be conveniently served as the performance index for the probabilistic design and optimization of protective devices. Finally, a genetic optimization procedure is proposed to identify the optimal protection designs, which are shown to be able to significantly reduce the overall repair cost ratio of the PSO under varying levels of earthquake hazards.
