Download or read book Spatial Variation of Seismic Ground Motions written by Aspasia Zerva and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spatial variation of seismic ground motions denotes the differences in the seismic time histories at various locations on the ground surface. This text focuses on the spatial variability of the motions that is caused by the propagation of the waveforms from the earthquake source through the earth strata to the ground surface, and it brings together the various aspects underlying this complicated phenomenon. Topics covered include: Evaluation of the spatial variability from seismic data recorded at dense instrument arrays by means of signal processing techniques Presentation of the most widely used parametric coherency models, along with brief descriptions of their derivation Illustration of the causes underlying the spatial variation of the motions and its physical interpretation Estimation of seismic ground-surface strains from single station data, spatial array records, and analytical methods Introduction of the concept of random vibrations as applied to discrete-parameter and continuous structural systems on multiple supports Generation of simulations and conditional simulations of spatially variable seismic ground motions Overview of the effects of the spatial variability of seismic motions on the response of long structures, such as pipelines, bridges and dams, with brief descriptions of select seismic codes that incorporate spatial variability issues in their design recommendations This book may serve as a tutorial and/or reference for graduate students, researchers and practicing engineers interested in advancing the current state of knowledge in the analysis and modeling of the spatial variation of the seismic ground motions, or utilizing spatially variable excitations in the seismic response evaluation of long structures.

Download or read book Effects of Spatially Varying Ground Motions on Bridge Response written by Bo Li and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adjacent bridge structures can move relatively to each other in an earthquake, resulting in pounding or more severely, unseating. Pounding occurs when the relative closing movement is larger than the structural gap whereas girder unseating takes place due to the relative opening movements being larger than the seating length provided. Relative displacements arise from unequal fundamental frequencies of adjacent bridge structures, spatial variation of ground motions and different soil-structure interaction (SSI). The objective of this thesis is to investigate the influence of these factors, especially spatial variation of ground motions on the bridge response. To achieve the objective, a series of experiments were conducted on the bridge models made of polyvinylchloride (PVC) using either shake tables or inertial actuators. Ground motions of the soft soil, shallow soil and strong rock conditions based on the New Zealand design spectra were simulated. The ground motions of the soft soil condition were further classified as highly, intermediately and weakly correlated ground motions to account for coherency loss effect of excitation spatial variation. These experiments include testing a 1:125 scale bridge with three identical bridge segments to study the effect of spatially varying ground motions with pounding, testing the same model but with the footings on sand contained by rubber boxes to consider the effects of spatially varying ground motions and SSI with pounding, testing one of those bridge segments with movable abutments to investigate the effect of excitation spatial variation considering abutment excitation and pounding, testing a 1:125 scale bridge model with two identical bridge segments with artificial plastic hinges to study the effect of spatially varying ground motions on inelastic bridge response with pounding, and field testing a 1:22 scale bridge segment subjected to spatially varying ground motions to determine the minimum total gap of a modulus expansion joint required to avoid pounding. A total of 8660 tests were performed. Research found that spatial variation of ground motions can increase the relative displacement of adjacent bridge girders and pounding forces. Based on the experimental results, the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) Bridge manual was reviewed. It was found that the current NZTA Bridge manual is unable to suggest sufficient minimum seating length to accommodate the measured relative opening displacements. A set of empirical equations is therefore proposed to calculate adequate minimum support seating lengths to prevent girder unseating.

Download or read book Structural Health Monitoring of Long-Span Suspension Bridges written by You Lin Xu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2011-08-31 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long span suspension bridges cost billions. In recent decades, structural health monitoring systems have been developed to measure the loading environment and responses of these bridges in order to assess serviceability and safety while tracking the symptoms of operational incidents and potential damage. This helps ensure the bridge functions properly during a long service life and guards against catastrophic failure under extreme events. Although these systems have achieved some success, this cutting-edge technology involves many complex topics that present challenges to students, researchers, and engineers alike. Systematically introducing the fundamentals and outlining the advanced technologies for achieving effective long-term monitoring, Structural Health Monitoring of Long-Span Suspension Bridges covers: The design of structural health monitoring systems Finite element modelling and system identification Highway loading monitoring and effects Railway loading monitoring and effects Temperature monitoring and thermal behaviour Wind monitoring and effects Seismic monitoring and effects SHMS-based rating method for long span bridge inspection and maintenance Structural damage detection and test-bed establishment These are applied in a rigorous case study, using more than ten years' worth of data, to the Tsing Ma suspension bridge in Hong Kong to examine their effectiveness in the operational performance of a real bridge. The Tsing Ma bridge is the world's longest suspension bridge to carry both a highway and railway, and is located in one of the world’s most active typhoon regions. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this is an ideal reference book for students, researchers, and engineering practitioners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the great progress made in computing technology, both in computer and programming technology, computation has become one of the most powerful tools for researchers and practicing engineers. It has led to tremendous achievements in computer-based structural engineering and there is evidence that current devel- ments will even accelerate in the near future. To acknowledge this trend, Tongji University, Vienna University of Technology, and Chinese Academy of Engine- ing, co-organized the International Symposium on Computational Structural En- neering 2009 in Shanghai (CSE’09). CSE’09 aimed at providing a forum for presentation and discussion of sta- of-the-art development in scientific computing applied to engineering sciences. Emphasis was given to basic methodologies, scientific development and engine- ing applications. Therefore, it became a central academic activity of the Inter- tional Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM), the European Com- nity on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS), The Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanic, the China Civil Engineering So- ety, and the Architectural Society of China. A total of 10 invited papers, and around 140 contributed papers were p- sented in the proceedings of the symposium. Contributors of papers came from 20 countries around the world and covered a wide spectrum related to the compu- tional structural engineering.
