Book Synopsis Seismic Design and Assessment of Bridges by : Andreas J Kappos
Download or read book Seismic Design and Assessment of Bridges written by Andreas J Kappos and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-04-17 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book focuses on the use of inelastic analysis methods for the seismic assessment and design of bridges, for which the work carried out so far, albeit interesting and useful, is nevertheless clearly less than that for buildings. Although some valuable literature on the subject is currently available, the most advanced inelastic analysis methods that emerged during the last decade are currently found only in the specialised research-oriented literature, such as technical journals and conference proceedings. Hence the key objective of this book is two-fold, first to present all important methods belonging to the aforementioned category in a uniform and sufficient for their understanding and implementation length, and to provide also a critical perspective on them by including selected case-studies wherein more than one methods are applied to a specific bridge and by offering some critical comments on the limitations of the individual methods and on their relative efficiency. The book should be a valuable tool for both researchers and practicing engineers dealing with seismic design and assessment of bridges, by both making the methods and the analytical tools available for their implementation, and by assisting them to select the method that best suits the individual bridge projects that each engineer and/or researcher faces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of their structural simplicity, bridges tend to beparticularly vulnerable to damage and even collapse when subjectedto earthquakes or other forms of seismic activity. Recentearthquakes, such as the ones in Kobe, Japan, and Oakland,California, have led to a heightened awareness of seismic risk andhave revolutionized bridge design and retrofit philosophies. In Seismic Design and Retrofit of Bridges, three of the world's topauthorities on the subject have collaborated to produce the mostexhaustive reference on seismic bridge design currently available.Following a detailed examination of the seismic effects of actualearthquakes on local area bridges, the authors demonstrate designstrategies that will make these and similar structures optimallyresistant to the damaging effects of future seismicdisturbances. Relying heavily on worldwide research associated with recentquakes, Seismic Design and Retrofit of Bridges begins with anin-depth treatment of seismic design philosophy as it applies tobridges. The authors then describe the various geotechnicalconsiderations specific to bridge design, such as soil-structureinteraction and traveling wave effects. Subsequent chapters coverconceptual and actual design of various bridge superstructures, andmodeling and analysis of these structures. As the basis for their design strategies, the authors' focus is onthe widely accepted capacity design approach, in which particularlyvulnerable locations of potentially inelastic flexural deformationare identified and strengthened to accommodate a greater degree ofstress. The text illustrates how accurate application of thecapacity design philosophy to the design of new bridges results instructures that can be expected to survive most earthquakes withonly minor, repairable damage. Because the majority of today's bridges were built before thecapacity design approach was understood, the authors also devoteseveral chapters to the seismic assessment of existing bridges,with the aim of designing and implementing retrofit measures toprotect them against the damaging effects of future earthquakes.These retrofitting techniques, though not considered appropriate inthe design of new bridges, are given considerable emphasis, sincethey currently offer the best solution for the preservation ofthese vital and often historically valued thoroughfares. Practical and applications-oriented, Seismic Design and Retrofit ofBridges is enhanced with over 300 photos and line drawings toillustrate key concepts and detailed design procedures. As the onlytext currently available on the vital topic of seismic bridgedesign, it provides an indispensable reference for civil,structural, and geotechnical engineers, as well as students inrelated engineering courses. A state-of-the-art text on earthquake-proof design and retrofit ofbridges Seismic Design and Retrofit of Bridges fills the urgent need for acomprehensive and up-to-date text on seismic-ally resistant bridgedesign. The authors, all recognized leaders in the field,systematically cover all aspects of bridge design related toseismic resistance for both new and existing bridges. * A complete overview of current design philosophy for bridges,with related seismic and geotechnical considerations * Coverage of conceptual design constraints and their relationshipto current design alternatives * Modeling and analysis of bridge structures * An exhaustive look at common building materials and theirresponse to seismic activity * A hands-on approach to the capacity design process * Use of isolation and dissipation devices in bridge design * Important coverage of seismic assessment and retrofit design ofexisting bridges

Book Synopsis Seismic Response of an Older Bridge in Nevada Under Maximum Considered Earthquake by : Ryan Thomas Isaac

This book was released on 2016 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the aging infrastructure in the United States, a study was conducted on an older bridge in Nevada to determine its performance under the maximum considered earthquake. A suite of eight synthetic site-specific ground motions, including a spectrum-matched "RSP" record, were applied along both the longitudinal and transverse axes of Bridge G-953 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The supplementary materials contain the original drawings of Bridge G-953 for reference, including changes to the expansion joints and the addition of cable restrainers at the in-span hinges. A detailed model, including the effects of column nonlinearity, material degradation such as shear keys, abutment soil stiffness, and restrainers at the in-span hinges of the superstructure (which were not part of the original design), was developed to capture both local demands and the global response of the structure. Comparison of the average demand from the seven regular ground motions ("Avg 1-7") with "RSP" was made to determine if the "RSP" record can be a computationally efficient estimation of seismic demand to a structure. Analysis results indicate that while the "RSP" record adequately predicted some force demands, it failed to capture extensive nonlinear deformation such as plastic hinge rotation demand. Displacement-controlled shear failure caused by excessive plastic hinge rotations and flexural distress in the concrete and longitudinal steel were found to be the governing limit states for the average response, creating a possibility of collapse. Localized failures, including rupture of the restrainers, cracking of the shear keys, and large permanent abutment displacements, are also possible. The primary vulnerability of the bridge is in the substructure, where the spacing of transverse reinforcement is too large and the pinned bases of some piers allow large lateral drifts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the results of the second phase of a comprehensive analytical study on the seismic response of highway bridges in New Jersey. Most bridges in New Jersey are multi-span simply supported (MSSS) where due to impact at the joints the seismic response is highly nonlinear. Therefore, detailed seismic analysis of essential bridges should employ nonlinear computer models that consider the important behavioral characteristics. Among these are: behavior of steel bearings, impact between adjacent spans and between the end-span and the abutment, soil-structure interaction, frictional characteristics following bearing failure, plastic hinges and/or shear failure at the columns, and combined effect of horizontal and transverse ground motion excitations. In light of these, the overall objective of this phase of the study was to evaluate the nonlinear seismic response of actual bridges with emphasis on soil-structure interaction and three-dimensional effect of ground motion. Furthermore, capacity/demand ratios for various components were determined based on the Federal Highway Administration's seismic retrofitting manual for highway bridges.
