  1. Seismicanalysis of BridgesPart II

  2. Analysis methodsSimplified non-linear analysis: Simply supported Bridges Most of the bridges are realized with simply supported deck. For the evaluation of the seismic behaviour of as-built condition of the retrofitted condition that maintain the static scheme (presence of discontinuity of the deck) a simplified methodology can be adopted. It is base on the following steps: The pier can be considered a simple oscillator with a mass given by the tributary mass relative to the deck and the mass of the pier. The non linearity can be considered as concentrated at the pier base and assumed of elasto-perfectly plastic type The capacity of the pier represented by the shear displacement curve evaluated starting to the yielding and ultimate rotation on the plastic hinge at the pier base The response is evaluated by Push-over analysis using the N2 method The verification is made in term of ductile and fragile mechanisms

  3. Analysis methodsSimplified non-linear analysis: Simply supported Bridges Transversal direction: determinationof the SDOF characteristics Mass of the simplified system Effective height the pier

  4. Analysis methodsSimplified non-linear analysis: Simply supported Bridges Transversal direction: determinationof the capacity Length of the plastic hinge On the basis of the simplified model the capacity of the pier can be evaluated starting form the linearized Moment-Curvature relationship and evaluating the yielding and ultimate top displacements using the following formula

  5. Analysis methodsSimplified non-linear analysis: Simply supported Bridges Transversal direction: Evaluationof the performance pointby N2 Principle of equal displacement Principle of equal Energy

  7. Analysis methodsSimplified non-linear analysis: Simply supported Bridges As soon as we have found the global multilinear capacity curve of the bridge, built considering all the piers in parallel, the above procedure can be easily applied considering the global mass as the sum of the single masses

  12. Simply supported bridge Definition of the seismic input Life safety level (SLV) PR=10%  TR=949 y. Nominal life (ordinary bridge): VN= 50 years Class: IV  Cu = 2 Reference life : VR = Cu  VN = 100 years Soil B Collapse prevention (SLC) PR=5%  TR=1950 y. NTC08 provide discrete TR. Therefore an interpolation of data is needed
