Book excerpt: Probability-based reliability methods have placed an increased emphasis on realistic simulation of structural behavior in bridge engineering. Uncertainty is present in every aspect of structural analysis. Aleatory uncertainties in the loading and load-carrying capacities, and epistemic uncertainties in mathematical idealization of bridge systems are the major contributors to uncertain structural response. However, the range of possible response and resistance of bridge components can be predicted in probabilistic means. The objective of this study is to develop efficient reliability analysis methods for bridge components using existing concepts of probability, structural reliability and finite element analysis. A finite element reliability procedure is proposed to evaluate the probability of failure while accounting for both aleatory and epistemic uncertainties in bridge girders subjected to live loads as well as columns to extreme seismic loadings. OpenSees, the Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation, an object-oriented open source framework for finite element analysis, is used to implement in the proposed methodology. For this probabilistic analysis approach, a gradient based first order reliability method (FORM) that provides importance measures of uncertain parameters is used instead of approximate integral solutions such as Monte-Carlo simulations. The uncertain parameters are treated as random variables with continuous probability density functions. The random variables are ranked to determine which parameters have the most influence on the structural response to applied loadings. Force-based elements whose integration points coincide with critical locations are ideal for moving load simulations of bridge girders. Moving vehicle loads are taken into account as the part of the element, rather than nodal, equilibrium equations and it is straightforward to link section forces to a constitutive model rather than relying on rigid body equilibrium. However, FORM requires explicit formulations for the derivative of the structural response to be obtained with respect to each uncertain parameter. For sensitivity formulations in force-based finite elements, the direct differentiation method (DDM) is adopted in the framework for evaluating the function and its gradient at the same precision. The numerical examples verify DDM response sensitivity equations are correct and reliability analysis setup is prepared for continuous reinforced concrete bridge girders. As a unique contribution to the reliability assessments of bridge girders, the interaction of moment and shear is considered on both the demand and resisting sides of the limit state function. A new material model based on Modified Compression Field Theory (MCFT) is implemented in OpenSees to represent moment-shear interaction. For performance limits placed on girder members, the moment-shear capacity is defined using a multi-line closed curve adapted from the AASHTO design code implementation of MCFT. To contribute safety measurements of bridge girders, the framework runs fully probabilistic reliability analyses while treating aleatory and epistemic uncertainties simultaneously. Sensitivity formulations for new implementations in the proposed methodology is another important contribution to reliability analysis of bridge components with force-based elements. The numerical examples indicate the moment-shear interaction is significantly high in most probable failure modes of bridge girders. The limit state definitions in the proposed methodology is recommended to use instead of uncoupled shear and moment capacity that can lead to non-conservative estimates of reliability. The importance measures highlights the axle loads and distribution factors have significant influence on the most probable failure mode. Another important source of uncertainty in bridge systems is due to modeling approaches of column members subjected to extreme load cases such as seismic. The methodology provides an approach for the reliability analysis of bridge columns using the formulated response sensitivity of force-based elements. One force-based element represents bridge columns under lateral loading to avoid discretization uncertainty of meshing displacement-based elements. However, the choice of an integration method in the state determination of force- based finite elements has a significant influence on the computed element response. Recent advances in the literature regularize the strain-softening response of force-based frame elements by either modifying the constitutive parameters or scaling selected integration weights. While the former case maintains numerical accuracy for strain-hardening behavior, the regularization requires a tight coupling of the element constitutive properties and the numerical integration method. In the latter case, objectivity is maintained for strain-softening problems; however, there is a lack of convergence for strain-hardening response. To resolve the dichotomy between strain-hardening and strain-softening solutions, a numerically consistent regularization technique is developed for force-based frame elements using interpolatory quadrature with two integration points of prescribed characteristic lengths at the element ends. To assess the modeling uncertainty associated with integration methods in force-based elements, analytical sensitivity of one-dimensional interpolatory quadrature is developed via direct differentiation of the locations and weights of integration points. Using the analytical sensitivity formulations, the additional integration parameters in the new regularization technique are considered as epistemic uncertainty in reliability analysis of bridge columns. The numerical examples quantify the epistemic uncertainty of selecting a force-based integration method as well as permitting integration points and weights to be treated as random variables in a probabilistic structural analysis.

This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the development in global economic and transportation engineering, the traffic loads on brides have been growing steadily, which become potential safety hazards for existing bridges. In particular, long-span suspension bridges support heavy traffic volumes and simultaneous truck loads on the bridge deck, and thus the safety and serviceability of the bridge deserves investigation. In this book, a multiscale reliability method is presented for the safety assessment of long-span bridges. The multiscale failure condition of stiffness girders is the first-passage criteria for the large-scale model and the fatigue damage criteria for the small-scale model. It is the objective of this book to provide a more in-depth understanding of the vehicle-bridge interaction from the random vibration perspective. This book is suitable for adoption as a text book or a reference book in an advanced structural reliability analysis course. Furthermore, this book also provides a theoretical foundation for better understanding of the safety assessment, operation management, maintenance and reinforcement for long-span bridges and motivates further research and development for more advanced reliability and serviceability assessment techniques for long-span bridges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent surveys of the U.S. infrastructure’s condition have rated a staggering number of bridges structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. While not necessarily unsafe, a structurally deficient bridge must be posted for weight and have limits for speed, due to its deteriorated structural components. Bridges with old design features that cannot safely accommodate current traffic volumes, and vehicle sizes and weights are classified as functionally obsolete. Such deficiencies may adversely affect the performance of transportation systems in emergency situations or for disaster response. This narrative has become part of the public debate sparked by the collapse of the I-35W Bridge over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, on August 1, 2007. Ever since, numerous technical and news articles have been written to answer the persistent question, why did the bridge collapse? Exhaustive examination of the details of a specific bridge failure, typically, reveals the reasons for the collapse and lessons are drawn from the experience. Each bridge failure, since the Tacoma Narrows Bride disaster in 1940, has served as a wakeup call for the bridge engineering community, initiating radical changes in the design and construction standards. However, a paradigm shift is necessary in the inspection and monitoring practices of the bridge engineering community to provide preventive maintenance and restore the public’s confidence in the safety of bridges. Concerns about bridge safety and reliability go beyond geographical boundaries and are shared by bridge engineers from different countries. This book contains a number of selected papers that were presented at the Fifth New York City Bridge Conference, held on August 17-18, 2009. These papers cover a wide range of topics in the design, construction, maintenance, monitoring and rehabilitation of bridge structures.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridges are critical components of highway networks, which provide mobility and economical vitality to a nation. Ensuring the safety and regular operation as well as accurate structural assessment of bridges is essential. Structural Identification (St-Id) can be utilized for better assessment of structures by integrating experimental and analytical technologies in support of decision-making. St-Id is defined as creating parametric or nonparametric models to characterize structural behavior based on structural health monitoring (SHM) data. In a recent study by the ASCE St-Id Committee, St-Id framework is given in six steps, including modeling, experimentation and ultimately decision making for estimating the performance and vulnerability of structural systems reliably through the improved simulations using monitoring data. In some St-Id applications, there can be challenges and considerations related to this six-step framework. For instance not all of the steps can be employed; thereby a subset of the six steps can be adapted for some cases based on the various limitations. In addition, each step has its own characteristics, challenges, and uncertainties due to the considerations such as time varying nature of civil structures, modeling and measurements. It is often discussed that even a calibrated model has limitations in fully representing an existing structure; therefore, a family of models may be well suited to represent the structure's response and performance in a probabilistic manner. The principle objective of this dissertation is to investigate nonparametric and parametric St-Id approaches by considering uncertainties coming from different sources to better assess the structural condition for decision making. In the first part of the dissertation, a nonparametric St-Id approach is employed without the use of an analytical model. The new methodology, which is successfully demonstrated on both lab and real-life structures, can identify and locate the damage by tracking correlation coefficients between strain time histories and can locate the damage from the generated correlation matrices of different strain time histories. This methodology is found to be load independent, computationally efficient, easy to use, especially for handling large amounts of monitoring data, and capable of identifying the effectiveness of the maintenance. In the second part, a parametric St-Id approach is introduced by developing a family of models using Monte Carlo simulations and finite element analyses to explore the uncertainty effects on performance predictions in terms of load rating and structural reliability. The family of models is developed from a parent model, which is calibrated using monitoring data. In this dissertation, the calibration is carried out using artificial neural networks (ANNs) and the approach and results are demonstrated on a laboratory structure and a real-life movable bridge, where predictive analyses are carried out for performance decrease due to deterioration, damage, and traffic increase over time. In addition, a long-span bridge is investigated using the same approach when the bridge is retrofitted. The family of models for these structures is employed to determine the component and system reliability, as well as the load rating, with a distribution that incorporates various uncertainties that were defined and characterized. It is observed that the uncertainties play a considerable role even when compared to calibrated model-based predictions for reliability and load rating, especially when the structure is complex, deteriorated and aged, and subjected to variable environmental and operational conditions. It is recommended that a family-of-models approach is suitable for structures that have less redundancy, high operational importance, are deteriorated, and are performing under close capacity and demand levels.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The failure event of a structure or lifeline network is often described by a complex logical function of multiple component failure events. Despite significant advances in theories on reliability analysis of individual components and their adoption in practice, the critical knowledge and quantitative methods for reliability assessments of complex system events remain elusive, leading to unknown accuracies in the risk assessment. Such a system reliability analysis is computationally challenging, especially when the definition of the system event is complex, the system has a large number of components, or the component events have significant statistical dependence due to common source effects. To overcome these challenges, this study develops two system reliability analysis methods, termed the Matrix-based System Reliability (MSR) Method and the Sequential Compounding Method (SCM), and applies the methods to risk assessment of complex structural systems and lifeline networks. Unlike existing system reliability analysis methods, the MSR method is applicable to any general system events, and can estimate not only system reliability but also component importance measures and parameter sensitivities of system reliability, which are essential metrics for risk-informed decision-making processes. The MSR method is applied to a bridge transportation network, a highway bridge structural system, and truss structures. The method is further developed to achieve improved efficiency using the first- or second-order reliability method; and to evaluate the sensitivity of the system failure probability with respect to parameters that affect the statistical dependence between the components. These further developments are demonstrated by risk assessment of progressive failures of a generalized Daniels system structure and by finite element system reliability analysis of a bridge pylon system. This study also aims at developing new methods for stochastic damage detection of pipeline networks based on the MSR method. The methods allow for efficient uncertainty quantification of system quantities such as network flow measures and for updating the component damage probabilities based on post-disaster observations on network performance. The accuracy and efficiency of these methods are demonstrated by a water pipeline network with 15 pipes that is subjected to an earthquake event. The sequential compounding method (SCM) is also developed to compute the probability of a general system event described in terms of a multivariate normal distribution. The merit of the SCM is its superior efficiency compared to existing system reliability methods including the MSR method. The accuracy and efficiency of the SCM is tested by a wide range of numerical examples including large systems consisting of 1,000 components. Due to its wide applicability, accuracy and efficiency, the method is expected to enhance the computational capability in various applications of system reliability analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reliability of an existing bridge is influenced by the external random conditions, i.e., uncertain environment, in which it is placed and by its own random properties including both the damage state and the redundancy built into the structure. For assessing the reliability of an existing bridge, it is necessary to have theoretical models for evaluating the uncertainties inherent in the environment, the structural properties, and the level of bridge damage, among others. To include these uncertainties in a rational method of analysis, a mathematical theory of system reliability is an indispensable tool. Most of the bridge system reliability research to date has been related to undamaged bridges, and not to the bridge as altered by damage to its components. On the other hand, the need for introducing system redundancy and reliability measures into safety evaluation of existing bridges is evident from failure investigations emphasizing the lack of system redundancy. Although modern bridge code specifications recommend that the designer should provide redundancy in the structure, they do not offer objective methods to quantify this redundancy and to evaluate its effect on overall bridge reliability. This paper reports on such an investigation and attempts to correlate the bridge damage state with both structural redundancy and overall bridge reliability. Examples of such damage-redundancy-reliability interactions in bridge analysis are provided. For the covering abstract of the Conference see IRRD Abstract No. 807839.

Book excerpt: Probabilistic analysis of civil structures is primarily concerned with the quantification of uncertainty that results from random variations in demand and capacity throughout the service life of structures. In the case of bridges, one important source of uncertainty comes from demands induced by vehicles, i.e. vehicular live loads. Current bridge design guidelines (AASHTO LRFD) are operationally deterministic and define the vehicular live load model (HL-93) that is intended to provide a level of demand consistent with a predetermined level of reliability (reliability index of 3.5 or larger in 75 years) for most bridges.

Book excerpt: Bridge networks are expensive and complex infrastructures and are essential components of today's transportation systems. Despite the advancement in computer aided modeling and increasing the computational power which is increasing the accessibility for developing the fragility curves of bridges, the complexity of the problem and uncertainties involved in fragility analysis of the bridge structures in addition to difficulties in validating the results obtained from the analysis requires precaution in utilization of the results as a decision making tool. The main focus of this research is to address, study and treatment of uncertainties incorporated in various steps of performance based assessments (PBA) of the bridge structures. In this research the uncertainties is divided into three main categories. First, the uncertainties that come from ground motions time and frequency content alteration because of scarcity of the recorded ground motions in the database. Second, uncertainties associated in the modeling and simulation procedure of PBA, and third uncertainties originated from simplistic approach and methods utilized in the conventional procedure of PBA of the structures. Legitimacy of the scaling of ground motions is studied using the response of several simple nonlinear systems to amplitude scaled ground motions suites. Bias in the response obtained compared to unscaled records for both as recorded and synthetic ground motions. Results from this section of the research show the amount of the bias is considerable and can significantly affect the outcome of PBA. The origin of the bias is investigated and consequently a new metric is proposed to predict the bias induced by ground motion scaling without nonlinear analysis.
