A Computational Framework For Systematic Bridge Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering Applications

Abstract

A computational framework is developed to combine nonlinear Time History Analysis (THA; using OpenSees) of multi-span bridge systems with an implementation of a performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) methodology developed by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center. Bridge columns (modeled using nonlinear Fiber beam-column element), deck, and abutments are integrated within a unified framework. Systematic evaluation of the global system response is conducted under a wide range of expected earthquake input shaking scenarios. In this paper, study of a five-span bridge as a representative example, is conducted and the resulting PBEE outcomes including repair cost and repair time are presented and discussed (in the current version, the PBEE assessment is executed in a separate module).
