Seismic Performance of Integral Bridges as a Function of Foundation Soil Stiffness
Dicleli, Murat (2012-09-24)
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 IB 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 IB models are conducted using a set of ground mot...
Seismic performance of multisimple span skew bridges retrofitted with link slabs
Sevgili, Gizem; Caner, Alp; Department of Civil Engineering (2007)
Investigation of more than seventy highway bridges revealed that multisimple-span skew bridges with expansion joints were very common in Turkish practice. The expansion joints, used to provide deck expansion against shrinkage, creep and thermal effects, create costly maintenance problems due to leaked water, impact loads and accumulated debris in the joints. Therefore, elimination of expansion joints decreases the maintenance cost for the bridges. Reinforced concrete link slabs provide continuity at the dec...
Seismic performance of multisimple-span bridges retrofitted with link slabs
Caner, Alp; Zia, P. (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2002-03-01)
During earthquakes multisimple-span bridges are vulnerable to span separation at their expansion joints. A common way of preventing unseating of spans is to have cable or rod restrainers that provide connections between adjacent spans. Alternatively, dislocation of the girders can be controlled with a link slab that is the continuous portion of the bridge deck between simple spans. Seismic retrofit with link slab should be more cost-effective than the existing methods when it is performed during redecking o...
Seismic performance evaluation and analysis of steel structures with semi-rigid connections
Ön, Selim; Balkaya, Can; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2004)
At the design stage, column-beam connections of steel structures are assumed as fully rigid or as hinges, and the design is completed with these assumptions. On the other hand, in practice, steel column-beam connections show neither fully rigid nor fully hinge behaviour, and the characteristic behaviour of the connections lies between these two special cases. Performing realistic calculation of these forces and knowing the behaviour of structures close to reality will decrease life and goods losses to the m...
SEISMIC PERFORMANCE OF SINGLE-SPAN SIMPLY SUPPORTED AND CONTINUOUS SLAB-ON-GIRDER STEEL HIGHWAY BRIDGES
Dicleli, Murat (1995-10-01)
Seismic response of single-span simply supported and continuous slab-on-girder steel bridges is studied. Linear elastic and nonlinear inelastic analyses are conducted for various ground-acceleration inputs. Bearings with higher stiffnesses that are closer to the edge of the deck are found to attract larger forces than other bearings, whereas bearings with small stiffness attract almost equal forces regardless of the width of the brid e. Assuming that the anchors of otherwise stable bearings are severed, sli...
