Live load distribution equations for integral bridge substructures Erhan, Semih; Dicleli, Murat (Elsevier BV, 2009-05-01) In this study, live load distribution equations (LLDEs) for integral bridge (IB) substructures are developed. For this purpose, numerous 3-D and corresponding 2-D structural models of typical IBs are built and analyzed under AASHTO live load. In the analyses, the effect of various superstructure and substructure properties such as span length, girder spacing, girder stiffness, abutment height, pile size, pile spacing and foundation soil stiffness are considered. The results from the 2-D and 3-D analyses are...
Time-dependent interaction between load rating and reliability of deteriorating bridges Akgül, Ferhat (Elsevier BV, 2004-10-01) Prioritization and allocation of federal funds for nationwide bridge replacements and rehabilitations are based on ratings listed in the National Bridge Inventory database. Distribution of funds is based on the sufficiency rating, represented by a formula considering structural safety, functional obsolescence, and essentiality for public use. Possessing the highest weight in sufficiency rating formula, load rating is a crucial measure for bridge management. While load rating represents the current practice ...
Nonlinear Fiber Modeling of Steel-Concrete Partially Composite Beams with Channel Connectors Ozturk, Alper; Baran, Eray; Tort, Cenk (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-05-01) A simplified nonlinear fiber-based finite element model of steel-concrete partially composite beams utilizing channel type mechanical shear connectors is developed in OpenSees framework. The interaction between steel beam and concrete slab is accounted for by introducing nonlinear zero length elements and rigid links. The channel shear connector response used in numerical models is based on the previously obtained experimental response from pushout tests. Accuracy of the numerical models in predicting the r...
Numerical integration of a class of 3d plastic-damage concrete models and condensation of 3d stress-strain relations for use in beam finite elements Sarıtaş, Afşin (Elsevier BV, 2009-10-01) This paper presents a method for the integration of a class of plastic-damage material models. The integration of the evolution equations results in a nonlinear problem, which is linearized and solved with the Newton-Raphson method using a sub-stepping strategy. The consistent tangent matrix can be formulated either in terms of the stress components in a general reference system or in terms of the principal stress and strain components with the former then transformed to the general reference system. In ord...
Lifetime Performance Analysis of Existing Reinforced Concrete Bridges. I: Theory Akgül, Ferhat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2005-06-01) In this first part of a two-part paper, a general methodology for lifetime performance analysis of existing reinforced concrete bridges is presented. The framework for the methodology is established by identifying four distinct categories: limit state equations, random variables, deterministic parameters, and constant coefficients. The limit state equations are derived by strictly adhering to the load and capacity formulas and requirements set forth in AASHTO specifications. Generality is pursued by establi...
