Seismic Evaluation Of T-Girder Concrete Bridges- A Performance-Based Approach
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 10
Abstract
In Indian structural codes, Performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) methodology has not been implemented yet. It is widely developed during the past two decades, and has become a key approach for seismic analysis and design in most developed countries. Therefore, further research is required to develop a domestic approach for Indian applications. In this paper, the seismic capacity of a typical T girder concrete highway bridge designed as per Indian Standards is evaluated througha probabilistic method as well as nonlinear static analysis (pushover analysis). Two different types of substructures, single-column and multi-column bents are considered separately. Fragility curves are developed and used for evaluation purposes. This paper presents the method as well as the results in the form of vulnerability and structural reliability relations based on two damage functions.
