This paper presents the innovative use of hot-rolled thickness-tapered mill products, longitudinally profiled (LP) plates, for the seismic performance of bridge bents of single and portal framed piers. The study involves the inelastic cyclic testing and numerical analysis of tested beam-columns and portal frames in order to evaluate the effects of tapering ratios of LP plates, penetration of yielding, and number of locally buckled panels on their structural ductility. A structural design method is proposed for the portal frames having LP panels under cyclic loadings.

Rubber bearings are widely used in bridge structures. The aqueduct structures are water bridges, so rubber bearings are often set at the end of the aqueducts. Rubber bearing cannot solve the problems such as temperature stress and supporting inhomogeneous settlement, but also play role of isolation damping. This paper mainly studies on the effects of the water-depth with changing rubber bearing on the seismic performance of the aqueduct-water coupling structure by numerical analysis.

Circular Hollow Section

This paper aims to numerically investigate the cyclic behavior of retrofitted and non-retrofitted circular hollow section (CHS) T-joints under axial loading. Different joints with varying ratios of brace to chord radius are studied. The effects of welding process on buckling instability of the joints in compression and the plastic failure in tension are considered. The finite element method is employed for numerical analysis, and the SAC protocol is considered as cyclic loading scheme. The CHS joints are retrofitted with different numbers of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) layers with varying orientation. The results show that the welding process significantly increases the plastic failure potential. The chord ovalization is the dominant common buckling mode under the compression load. However, it is possible to increase the energy dissipation of the joints by utilizing FRP composite through changing the buckling mode to the brace overall buckling.
