Seismic fragility curves of three spans reinforced concrete bridge using nonlinear time history method

Seismic fragility curves of three spans reinforced concrete bridge using nonlinear time history method / Daniel Anak Edward Padang
Kajian ini membincangkan tentang lengkung kerapuhan untuk struktur jambatan konrit bertetulang. Lengkung kerapuhan di dalam kajian ini telah dibangunkan daripada perbezaan gred konkrit dan juga ketinggian tiang pada struktur jambatan. Kesemua reka bentuk adalah berdasarkan British Standard (BS 5400; Part 4) tetapi Eurocode 8 (EC8) telah dirujuk untuk pertimbangan seismik di dalam analisis kerana BS 5400; Part 4 tiada menyatakan sebarang peruntukan seismik. Perisian SAP 2000 telah digunakan sebagai alat utama untuk menjalankan analisis sejarah masa bukan linear untuk menghasilkan IDA. Satu rekod pergerakan tanah akibat daripada gempa bumi di Ranau telah digunakan untuk menjalankan analisa bagi lengkung IDA. Berdasarkan Lengkung IDA, lima tahap prestasi seperti yang di nyatakan dalam FEMA-273, adalah seperti: (i) Fasa Operasi (OP); (ii) Penghunian Segera (IO); (iii) Kawalan Kerosakan (DC); (iv) Keselamatan Nyawa (LS); dan (v) Pencegahan Runtuh (CP) akan digunakan sebagai panduan utama untuk menilai prestasi sesuatu struktur jambatan tersebut. Untuk hasil yang pertama di dalam kajian ini, gred konkrit 50 and 55 telah menunjuk prestasi yang lebih baik berbanding dengan gred konkrit 45. Walau bagaimanapun, dari segi ketinggian tiang jambatan, ketinggian 5 meter lebih stabil daripada 8 meter. Sementara itu, untuk hasil lengkung kerapuhan, kebarangkalian untuk mencapai atau melebihi tahap CP bagi 8 meter ketinggian pada tiang adalah lebih tinggi iaitu 100% berbanding daripada 5 meter ketinggian yang mana 95% sahaja. Daripada keputusan yang diperolehi ia juga menjadi jelas bahawa pada sesetengah jambatan tertentu adalah lebih terdedah kepada keruntuhan apabila mempunyai tiang yang tinggi. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ This study presents the fragility curves for reinforced concrete bridge structures. The fragility curves in this study were developed due to the different type of concrete grade and different height of the bridge piers. All the designs are based on British Standard (BS 5400; part 4) but Eurocode 8 (EC8) was referred for seismic consideration in analysis as BS 5400; part 4 does not specify any seismic provision. The SAP 2000 was used as a main tool to carry out Nonlinear Time History in order to perform the Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA). One record of ground motion from Ranau earthquake have been used to carry out the analysis for the IDA curves. Based on the IDA curves, five levels of performance level that stated in FEMA-273, which are; (i) Operational Phase (OP); (ii) Immediate Occupancy (IO); (iii) Damage Control (DC); (iv) Live Safety (LS); and (v) Collapse Prevention (CP) will be used as a main guideline to observe the bridge structure’s performance. For the first outcome in this study, concrete grade 50 and 55 was performed better rather than concrete grade 45. However, in term of height of the piers, the 5 meter height of the piers more stable than 8 meter height of the piers. Meanwhile, for fragility curves results, probability of reach or exceed CP level of 8 meter height of the piers is higher which is 100% rather than 5 meter height of the piers which is 95% respectively. From the obtained results it also becomes obvious that at this particular bridge is more vulnerable at the highest of the piers.
