Earthquake Response Analysis of a RC Bridge employing a Point Hinge Model
포인트 힌지 모델을 적용한 철근콘크리트 교량의 지진응답 해석
Abstract
Simplified modeling approach for the seismic behavior of a reinforced concrete bridge is investigated in this paper. For this purpose, a hysteretic axial-flexure interaction model was developed and implemented into a nonlinear finite element analysis program. Thus, the seismic response of reinforced concrete bridge piers was evaluated by the simplified point hinge representations. Comparative studies for reinforced concrete bridge piers indicated that the analytical predictions obtained with the new formulations showed a good correlation with experimental results. In addition, seismic response analysis of a reinforced concrete bridge utilizing the simplified point hinge model revealed the adequacy and applicability of the present development.
