Seismic Performance Assessment of an Existing Road Bridge Using Standard Pushover Analysis

Abstract:

The inelastic seismic response of an existing multi-span concrete bridge is investigated by performing nonlinear static pushover analysis. The bridge is subjected to lateral forces distributed proportionally over the span of the bridge in accordance with the product of mass and mode shape. The bridge is pushed up to the target displacement and the hinge formations of the bridge in different steps of the pushover procedure in the transverse direction are obtained. The expected capacity of the bridge is evaluated and compared with the displacement demand.
