2010 Maule Earthquake

Chile, as a country with a long history of strong seismicity, has a record of both a constant upgrading of its seismic design codes and structural systems, particularly for bridges, as a result of major earthquakes. Recent earthquakes in Chile have produced extensive damage to highway bridges, such as deck collapses, large transverse residual displacements, yielding and failure of shear keys, and unseating of the main girders, demonstrating that bridges are highly vulnerable structures. Much of this damage can be attributed to construction problems and poor detailing guidelines in design codes. After the 2010 Maule earthquake, new structural design criteria were incorporated for the seismic design of bridges in Chile. The most significant change was that a site coefficient was included for the estimation of the seismic design forces in the shear keys, seismic bars, and diaphragms. This article first traces the historical development of earthquakes and construction systems in Chile to provide a context for the evolution of Chilean seismic codes. It then describes the seismic performance of highway bridges during the 2010 Maule earthquake, including the description of the main failure modes observed in bridges. Finally, this article provides a comparison of the Chilean bridge seismic code against the Japanese and United States codes, considering that these codes have a great influence on the seismic codes for Chilean bridges. The article demonstrates that bridge design and construction practices in Chile have evolved substantially in their requirements for the analysis and design of structural elements, such as in the definition of the seismic hazard to be considered, tending toward more conservative approaches in an effort to improve structural performance and reliability for Chilean bridges.

This paper focuses on a shakedown behaviour of the ideally elasto-plastic beams system under variable repeated load. The mathematical models of the analysis problems are created using numerical methods, extremum energy principles and mathematic programming. It is shown that during the shakedown process the residual displacements vary non-monotonically. By solving analysis problem, where the load locus is being progressively expanded, it is possible to determine the upper and lower bounds of residual displacements. Suggested methods are ilustrated by solving multisupported beam example problem. The results are obtained considering principle of the small displacements.

Nonlinear Time History

Nonlinear time history analyses of SDOF bridge columns with elasto-plastic flexural behaviour which are subject to eccentric gravity loading are conducted to quantify the effect of ratchetting. Peak and residual displacements were used as indicators of the degree of ratchetting. The effects of member axial loads and design force reduction factors were also investigated. It was shown that displacement demands increased with increasing eccentric moment. For eccentric moment of 30% of the yield moment, the average maximum and residual displacements increase by 4.2 and 3.8 times the maximum displacement, respectively, which the engineers calculate using static methods without considering ratchetting effect. Design curves for estimating the displacement demands for different eccentric moments are also developed. The current NZ1170.5 (2016) provisions were found to be inadequate in estimating the maximum displacement for steel structures, and hence, new provisions for steel structures should be presented.

Dynamic Nonlinearity

Strong earthquake ground motion leads to residual displacements of gravity retaining walls. Since large deformation occurs in foundation soil, nonlinear mechanical behavior should not be neglected in numerical modeling. The inversion methodology in geophysics is borrowed here to study the nonlinearity, i.e. the variation of shear modulus and damping ratio with the increase of shear strain of soil. A simplified model for the seismic displacement of retaining walls is combined with a genetic algorithm for the inversion. The dynamic shear modulus and damping ratio curves, representing the nonlinear property of foundation soil in a centrifuge test for gravity retaining walls, is obtained by the use of an inversion scheme. The result indicates that, for low level of shear strain, the shear modulus is larger than that used in the literature, implying that the model ground may be stiffer than expectation. For high level of shear strain, the inverted damping ratio is larger than the conventional one, which has efficiently suppressed an overestimation of seismic displacements. It is also displayed that the inversion method is an effective way to obtain quantitatively the dynamic nonlinearity of foundation soil of gravity retaining walls.

Seismic Displacements

This study examines the relation between maximum seismic displacements and residual displacements for reinforced concrete building structures. In order to achieve a reliable relationship between these critical structural parameters for the seismic performance of concrete buildings, an extensive parametric study is conducted by examining the nonlinear behavior of numerous planar framed structures. In this work, dynamic inelastic analyses are executed to investigate the seismic behavior of two sets of frames. The first group consists of four planar frames which have been designed for seismic and vertical loads according to modern structural codes while the second group also consists of four frames, which have been designed for vertical loads only, in order to examine older structures that have been designed using codes with inadequate seismic provisions. These two sets of buildings are subjected to various earthquakes with different amplitudes in order to develop a large structural response databank. On the basis of this wide-ranging parametric investigation, after an appropriate statistical analysis, simple empirical expressions are proposed for a straightforward and efficient evaluation of maximum seismic displacements of reinforced concrete buildings structures from their permanent deformation. Permanent displacements can be measured in-situ after strong ground motions as a post-earthquake assessment. It can be concluded that the measure of permanent deformation can be efficiently used to estimate the post-seismic performance level of reinforced concrete buildings.
