16 Definition of Limit States Limit State Fully Operational Operational Life safety Near Collapse Collapse Description of Damage No damage, continuous service Most operations and functions can resume immediately. Repair is required to restore some non-essential services. Damage is light. Structure is safe for immediate occupancy. Essential operations are protected. Damage is moderate. Selected building systems, features or contents may be protected from damage. Life safety of generally protected. Structure is damaged but remains stable. Falling hazards remain secure. Repair possible. Structural collapse is prevented. Nonstructural elements may fall. Repair generally not be possible. Complete structural collapse

20 Seismic Design Force
21 Seismic Design Force Seismic design force should be determined based on the seismic environment (seismicity, fault length and rupture, etc) around the construction sites Seismic hazard map in terms of PGA is frequently used to scale the seismic design force. Response accelerations are widely used to provide the seismic design force of bridges. Multiplying it to mass, lateral force can be directly evaluated.
22 Seismic Design Force (continued) Standard response spectra are generally modified to take account of regional seismicity as S A (, ξ ) = c S (, ξ ) design z A s tan dard Importance of structures are sometimes reflected to evaluate the design seismic force. here are two groups in this treatment as Larger design seismic force is considered for a structure with higher importance Since seismic force which applies to a structure does not change depending on the importance of the structure, the importance is considered in the evaluation of the capacity

39 Evaluation of Demand

42 Where do we consider the damping characteristics of the bridge in the static design?
43 How should we incorporate the damping ratio of the bridge in the static seismic design? Dynamic Analysis * * ξ Static Analysis * ξ * m S, ) D A ( *,0.05) = R Ground Accelerations Response Acceleration Dynamic Response Analysis Damping Ratios Static Analysis Compute Demands Compute Demands
44 How can we estimate the damping ratio of bridges? Empirical relation on the damping ratio vs. fundamental natural period of bridges his is based on force excitation tests on bridges supported by various types of foundations ξ = 0.02
45 ξ c Why is the damping ratio inversely proportional to the fundamental natural period? ξmφkm kmφkm ξ = m φkm kmφkm ξ D 0.05 m 0.05 ξ cp 0.15 Radiational energy dissipation ξ f >> 0. 3
46 How should we incorporate the damping ratio of the bridge in the static seismic design? Damping ratio of the bridge should be incorporated in the evaluation of response accelerations used in the static analysis Not ( *, ξ * S ( * A,0.05) but SA ) where SA ( * ξ *, ) * A c D = S (,0.05) * 1.5 c D ( ξ ) = * 40ξ + 1 * 0. ξ = 02 * ( ξ * )

66 Residual Displacement Significance of Bridges with Fewer Static Indeterminacy than Buildings Plastic Hinges
67 Features of Japanese Practice in the Evaluation of Design Ductility Capacity Compute design ductility factor for every columns using the fiber element analysis. In the fiber element analysis, stress vs. strain relations of confined concrete and bars are explicitly considered. Characteristics of ground motions (loading hysteresis & number of repeated loadings) is accounted in the evaluation of the ultimate displacement, therefore the ultimate displacement depends on the ground motions (ype I & II ground motions).
68 Importance of bridges is accounted for not in the evaluation of design ground motions but in the evaluation of design ductility factor o account for repairability, residual displacement that would occur after an earthquake is checked
69 Displacement based Seismic Design

71 Displacement-based Seismic Design (continued) It is interesting because Displacement which is important in design is always accounted in the displacement design However, the following points need further clarification Damping ratio which has a large scattering is directly included in the process of main design calculation Determination of the stiffness of a bridge from a design displacement involves a large error because k 2
