Reliability Assessment of Existing Reinforced Concrete Arch Bridge

Abstract:

A finite element model of an existing reinforced concrete arch bridge was established. The reliability index was investigated based on the PDF module in ANSYS software. Taking the maximum concrete stress and tendon stress as limit state, the limit state functions of main arch, upright column and deck are established respectively. There are taken as series system to study the bridge system reliability according to the structural characteristics of reinforced concrete arch bridge. The lowest reliability index superstructure is selected as the whole structure reliability index. Based on JC method and made-up MATLAB program, the reliability index of the example bridge is calculated.
