The impact of seismic retrofitting of typical Illinois bridges, via response modification using friction pendulum bearings (FPB), on the state economy is studied. For this purpose, two typical bridges with distinct characteristics were selected by Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). The seismic analyses of the bridges revealed that the bearings, wingwalls and substructures are vulnerable and need to be retrofitted. Conventional retrofitting strategies are developed for the bridges and the retrofitting costs are estimated. The same bridges are further studied to develop appropriate techniques for upgrading their seismic capacity using FPB and the seismic analyses are repeated. It is observed that the FPB effectively mitigated the seismic forces and eliminated the need for retrofitting of the substructures of the bridges. This resulted in a considerable reduction in the seismic retrofitting costs of the bridges.

Comparative assessment of the efficiency of seismic isolation for seismic retrofitting of highway bridges in regions of low-to-moderate seismicity Karalar, Memduh; Dicleli, Murat (null; 2019-07-06) In this paper, the economical and structural efficiency of friction pendulum bearings (FPB) for retrofitting typical seismically vulnerable bridges in the State of Illinois is studied. For this purpose, a bridge was selected by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to represent typical seismically vulnerable bridges commonly used in the State of Illinois. A comprehensive structural model of the bridge was first constructed for seismic analysis. An iterative multi-mode response spectrum (MMRS) ana...
Economical seismic retrofitting of bridges in regions of low to moderate risk of seismic activity Dicleli, Murat; Mokha, A; Zayas, V (2003-01-01) The economical efficiency of friction pendulum bearings (FPB) for seismic retrofitting of typical Illinois bridges is studied. A typical bridge was carefully selected by Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for the purpose of this study. The seismic analysis of the bridge revealed that the bearings, and substructures of the bridge are vulnerable and need to be retrofitted. A conventional retrofitting strategy is developed for the bridge and the cost of retrofit is estimated. Next, the bridge is furt...
Seismic retrofitting of highway bridges in Illinois using friction pendulum seismic isolation bearings and modeling procedures Dicleli, Murat (Elsevier BV, 2003-07-01) In this paper, the economical and structural efficiency of friction pendulum bearings (FPB) for retrofitting typical seismically vulnerable bridges in the State of Illinois is studied. For this purpose, a bridge was carefully selected by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to represent typical seismically vulnerable bridges commonly used in the State of Illinois.

Quantitative approach to rapid seismic evaluation of slab-on-girder steel highway bridges Dicleli, Murat (1996-01-01) A quantitative approach follows for developing a methodology for the rapid seismic evaluation and ranking of slab-on-girder steel highway bridges. In the development of this methodology, analytical expressions are introduced to calculate the seismically induced forces and displacements in bridge components, first assuming that damage to bearings is not acceptable and then removing this constraint. In the latter case, the superstructure is assumed to become unrestrained and slide on its supports. The seismic...
Seismic performance of multispan simply supported slab-on-girder steel highway bridges Dicleli, Murat (1995-01-01) The seismic response of existing multispan simply supported slab-on-girder steel highway bridges, never designed to resist earthquakes, is studied. Elastic response spectrum analyses are conducted for bridges with different bearing stiffness, span length and number of spans. It is found that the response of two-span simply supported bridges is highly dependent on the stiffness of fixed bearings on the abutments, but this effect vanishes as the number of spans increases. The transverse direction seismic capa...
