Effect of soil-bridge interaction on the magnitude of internal forces in integral abutment bridge components due to live load effects

2010-01-01
In this study, the effect of soil-bridge interaction on the magnitude of the internal forces in integral abutment bridge (IAB) components due to live load effects is studied. For this purpose, structural models of typical IABs are built by including and excluding the effect of backfill and foundation soil. Analyses of the models are then conducted under an AASHTO live load. In the analyses, the effects of the backfill and foundation soil on the magnitude of the internal forces in IAB components are studied for various structural, geometric and geotechnical parameters such as bridge size, abutment height and thickness, pile size and orientation, number of spans and foundation soil stiffness.

Effect of soil and substructure properties on live-load distribution in integral abutment bridges
Dicleli, Murat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2008-09-01)
This study is aimed at investigating the effect of soil-structure interaction and substructure properties at the abutments on the distribution of live-load effects in integral abutment bridge (IAB) components. For this purpose, numerous 3D and corresponding 2D structural models of typical IABs are built and analyzed under AASHTO live-load. In the analyses, the effect of various geotechnical and substructure properties such as foundation soil stiffness, considering and neglecting the effect of backfill, back...
Effect of shear walls on the behavior of reinforced concrete buildings under earthquake loading
Çömlekoğlu, Hakkı Gürhan; Burak Bakır, Burcu; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
An analytical study was performed to evaluate the effect of shear wall ratio on the dynamic behavior of mid-rise reinforced concrete structures. The primary aim of this study is to examine the influence of shear wall area to floor area ratio on the dynamic performance of a building. Besides, the effect of shear wall configuration and area of existing columns on the seismic performance of the buildings were also investigated. For this purpose, twenty four mid-rise building models that have five and eight sto...
Effect of the high frequency components of near-fault ground motions on the response of linear and nonlinear SDOF systems: A moving average filtering approach
Yalcin, O. Fatih; Dicleli, Murat (Elsevier BV, 2020-02-01)
In this study, the effect of the high frequency components of near fault ground motions (NFGM) with forward rupture directivity effect (FRDE) on the seismic response of elastic and inelastic SDOF regular (non-isolated) and seismic isolated structures is studied. For this purpose, Moving Average filtering method is used to remove the high frequency content of the NFGM at various filtering levels. The key motive for this effort is to evaluate the appropriateness of representing the NFGMs by decomposed signals...
Effect of Foundation Soil Stiffness on the Seismic Performance of Integral Bridges
Dicleli, Murat (Informa UK Limited, 2011-05-01)
In this study, the effect of foundation soil stiffness on the seismic performance of integral bridges (IBs) is investigated. For this purpose, nonlinear structural models of a two-span TB with four different foundation soil stiffness types (loose, medium, medium-dense and dense sands) are built. In the nonlinear structural models, nonlinear soil structure interaction including free-field effects is considered. Then, the nonlinear time history analyses of the TB models are conducted using a set of ground mot...
Damping reduction equation for the equivalent linear analysis of seismic isolated structures subjected to near fault ground motions
Dicleli, Murat (Elsevier BV, 2020-10-01)
In this study, a new damping reduction equation is proposed to obtain reasonable estimates of the actual nonlinear responses of seismic isolated structures (SIS) subjected to near fault ground motions (NFGM) with forward-rupture-directivity effect, using equivalent linear analysis (ELA) procedure. For this purpose, first, a set of 29 NFGM are selected and grouped according to their site soil classification. Then, the average response spectra of the NFGM are plotted and a smoothed design response spectrum fo...
