Dynamic P-Δ Effect on Probabilistic Residual Displacement of Bridge Structures
Abstract:
Residual displacement has been identified as one of the most important parameter to assess the reparability and usability of bridge structures after strong earthquake, which is significantly impacted by the P-Δ effect. In this study, the influence of the P-Δ effect on the probabilistic characteristics of residual displacement of bridge structure was quantificationally investigated based on a series of nonlinear time-history analysis. The bridge structure was idealized as the single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system and the hysteretic behaviour was represented by the improved Bouc-Wen model. The statistic analysis was implemented based on the inelastic dynamic responses of the SDOF system under 69 selected earthquake records. The results show that the P-Δ effect has significant impact on the residual displacement, especially for systems with large stability factor and/or small post-yield stiffness ratio and yield strength.
