Abstract

The effect of several simplified methods of seismic analysis is estimated. The pounding/contacting of superstructures were considered in the multispan simply supported bridge and the multispan continuous bridge. Although nonlinear time history analysis is generally used for seismic analysis of bridges, many codes including AASHTO propose several simplified analysis methods. AASHTO, however, does not mention pounding. Therefore, the simplified methods may produce results that are different from those of nonlinear time history analysis. This study developed nonlinear analytical models of the two types of bridges mentioned. The models were then modified to the simplified linear models for simplified analysis. The results of the simplified methods were compared with those of nonlinear time history analysis. It was found that including of the pounding/contacting element in the simplified methods generated responses similar to those of the nonlinear time history analysis.

본 연구에서는 스틸베어링을 가진 교량의 단순해석의 효과를 상부구조의 충돌의 유무에 따라 점검하였다. 교량의 지진해석에서는 비선형 시간이력해석이 일반적으로 사용되지만, AASHTO 등을 포함해서 많은 시방서는 단순해석법을 제시하고 있다. 그러나 AASHTO에서는 충돌에 대한 언급이 없고, 이로 인하여 단순해석의 결과가 비선형 시간이력해석과 차이가 있을 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 그래서 본 연구에서 다경간 단순지지 교량과 다경간 연속 고량, 두 형태의 교량에 대하여 비선형 모델을 개발하고, 이들을 단순해석에 적합하게 선형 모델로 수정하였다. 그리하여 비선형 시간이력해석과 단순 선형해석들의 결과를 비교 검토하였다. 이를 통해서, 단순 선형해석에 있어서 충돌 또는 접촉을 고려하는 것이 비선형 시간이력해석 결과와 가장 근접함을 알 수 있었다.
