Seismic vulnerability analysis of irregular multi-span concrete bridges with different corrosion damage scenarios

Ebrahim Afsar Dizaj et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the seismic performance and vulnerability of multi-span Reinforced Concrete (RC) bridges with unequal height piers exposed to varied corrosion damage scenarios. An advanced three-dimensional nonlinear finite element modeling technique is developed and verified with experimental results. Several nonlinear analyses are performed to evaluate the seismic behavior and vulnerability of hypothetical RC bridge specimens. The influence of corrosion scenarios on the dynamic behavior and failure mechanism of studied bridges is discussed. Time-dependent fragility curves are developed using the results of incremental dynamic analysis. The analyses reveal that the seismic vulnerability of a deteriorated RC bridge depends on the corrosion scenario of its piers, and certain corrosion scenarios can result in near-synchronized failure of unequal height piers.

Seismic vulnerability assessment of reinforced concrete bridge piers with corroded bars

Dario De Domenico et al.

Summary: Reinforced concrete structures in aggressive environments, like bridge piers near the sea experiencing chloride attacks, may have increased seismic vulnerability. A phenomenological model is developed to describe the seismic behavior of corroded RC elements, taking into account the mechanical degradation of concrete and steel caused by corrosion. The model is validated and then used for the seismic vulnerability assessment of a specific bridge in Italy, where the RC bridge piers are exposed to carbonation and chloride-induced corrosion. The proposed approach is computationally efficient and applicable to other existing RC bridges in corrosive environments.

Maintenance interventions period of existing RC motorway viaducts located in moderate/high seismicity zones

Marco Zucca et al.

Summary: Considering recent collapses of RC motorway bridges, the maintenance planning of these infrastructures has become increasingly important for ensuring safety under seismic loads. Corrosion of steel reinforcement, particularly due to carbonation, is a key factor affecting the structural performance of these bridges. This study evaluates the seismic vulnerability of three RC motorway bridges using non-linear time history analysis, considering different corrosion scenarios. Risk indices are calculated to optimize maintenance interventions for the motorway networks.

Impact of vertical ground motion on the statistical analysis of seismic demand for frictional isolated bridge in near-fault regions

Jian Zhong et al.

Summary: Friction isolation bearings are commonly used in engineering structures and have good seismic isolation effects. The peak displacement of these bearings is crucial in assessing the damage of frictional isolated bridges, with excessive displacement leading to serious earthquake damage. Previous studies on the impact of vertical ground motion on the peak displacement have mostly been deterministic, with limited probabilistic research. In this study, a statistical approach is used to explore the probabilistic distribution of displacement errors caused by neglecting vertical ground motions. The results show that the mean value of the error is close to zero, while the standard deviation significantly increases with the intensity of ground motions, indicating that vertical ground motion has little impact on the mean seismic demand but strongly affects the dispersion. Empirical formulas are proposed to predict the value of the increment coefficient, providing a convenient method for designers and ensuring the safety of bridge structures.

Unified hazard models for risk assessment of transportation networks in a multi-hazard environment

Anna Karatzetzou et al.

Summary: Transportation networks play a crucial role in the economic prosperity of modern societies, but they are vulnerable to natural hazards. Current risk assessment studies mainly focus on the impact of a single hazard, ignoring the combined effects of multiple hazards in a multi-hazard environment. Therefore, there is a need for a reasonable and practical approach to evaluate the multi-hazard risk of transportation infrastructure.

The Evolution of Seismic Design Provisions in Indonesia's National Bridge Code

Veby Citra Simanjuntak et al.

Summary: To accommodate increased seismic hazards in Indonesia, provisions regarding structural details on seismic regulations have been tightened. This paper examines the variations in seismic hazard and detailing requirements for bridges from before 1990 to the present. The analysis shows that older bridges generally have lower performance compared to recently designed structures. However, the existing bridges in Indonesia still have adequate capacity under the current seismic load, although seismic vulnerability assessments need to be conducted for older bridges to ensure their safety.

A new method of seismic retrofitting cost analysis and effectiveness for reinforced concrete structures

George Markou

Summary: Modeling, analysis, and design of retrofitting interventions is a common topic of research projects aimed at determining cost-effective strategies for improving structural seismic performance. This study proposes a hybrid modeling approach to address numerical and computational constraints in structural behavior assessment. Through numerical validation on full-scale multi-storey RC buildings and joints, the study concludes that the use of Aramid-FRP rebars in infill RC shear walls is the most cost-effective strengthening method in terms of strength and energy dissipation enhancement. Further numerical investigations are suggested to study the cost-effectiveness of additional strengthening methods and seismic isolation systems.
