This paper depicts the study of seismic analysis of reinforced concrete bridge piers as per provisions of Indian Road Congress (IRC) guidelines. Bridges are designed having two main structural elements named – “Superstructure” and “Substructure”. Superstructure consists of deck and supporting girder/truss system below deck. Substructure includes Abutments, Piers, Portals and Foundations. Amongst these, Abutments/Piers are crucial part of bridge. Therefore, as per the seismic design philosophy, it is necessary to study the seismic behaviour of bridge piers. With the advancements in technology and subsequent researches in Infrastructure fields, IRC guidelines are updated and revised time-to-time. Introduction of IRC SP:114-2018 guideline for earthquake forces in bridges is an example of such developments. In this research, seismic analysis of Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) bridge pier is carried out as per provisions of prevailing guideline IRC:6-2017. Base shear value of IRC:6-2017 is compared with IRC SP:114-2018 which now supersedes seismic provisions of IRC:6-2017. For analysis, different span lengths of 25 m, 30 m and 36 m are used. To assess the impact of height of piers in earthquake analysis, various pier heights such as 10 m, 20 m and 30 m are assumed. The analysis is carried out as per Elastic Seismic Acceleration Method with consideration of different zones and importance of the bridge as per IRC guidelines. Effect of vertical ground motion is also considered in analysis. From analysis, it is observed that base shear and vertical forces have been increased remarkably as per IRC SP:114-2018 compared to IRC:6-2017.

The Impact

In the present study, in order to examine the impact performances of ordinary reinforced concrete bridge piers which have been replaced by stainless-steel bars of equal cross-sections under the protective condition of anticollision material, the impact dynamic responses of the ordinary reinforced concrete bridge piers, with replacements under the protection of closed-cell aluminum foam, were compared and analyzed using an ultrahigh drop hammer impact test system. The results showed that when the impact velocity was small (for example, less than 1.42 M/s), after the implementation of equal cross-sectional replacements, the closed-cell aluminum foam had been in an elastic or yield stage. During that stage, the impact forces of the stainless-steel reinforced concrete piers were larger than those of the ordinary reinforced concrete piers, and the relative ratios were stable at approximately 28 to 34%. In addition, the relative ratios of the displacements at the tops of the components were also found to be stable at approximately 22%, and the change rates of the concrete ultrasonic damages were approximately the same. However, when the impact forces had increased (for example, more than 1.67 m/s), the closed-cell aluminum foam entered a densification stage, and the peak impact force ratios decreased sharply. It was also observed that the relative peak displacement ratios at the tops of the components displayed increasing trends, and the change rates of the concrete ultrasonic damages had displayed major flux. Therefore, the replacement of the ordinary piers with stainless-steel bars had increased the possibility of shear failures.

Abstract: Infill walls are inevitable components of any structure to create dispassion between interior space and external condition. In general, there are some prevalent openings inside the infill walls because of practical needs, architectural observations or aesthetic inspections. In current design practice, strength and inflexibility contribution of infill walls aren't thought of. However, the presence of infill walls may impact the seismic reaction of structures exposed to earthquake loads and cause a conduct which is not the same as that estimated for a bare frame. Additionally, partial openings inside infill walls are significant parameter prompting the seismic behaviour of infilled frames in this manner retreating lateral stiffness and strength. In this study is proposed to compare various models of buildings considering the openings (10% of surface area) at different locations in the infill walls for the seismic behaviour. A G+13 residential building is considered in Zone III with soil type II and analysis is carried out by Response Spectrum Method. Various parameters are considered such as Natural Time period, Base shear, Storey displacement, Storey drift and Storey stiffness were studied. The comparative study could simplify designers and code developers in selecting and recommending appropriate analytical models for estimating strength, stiffness, failure modes and other properties of infill frames with openings.

The Impact

The target of this undertaking is to examine and comprehend the impact of utilizing retrofitting strategies on a structure against the seismic unique burden. The investigation is completed on four models of a G+4 building. Model 1 was not exposed to any seismic burden and was discovered to be protected against the arrangement load and live burden and its blend. Model 2 was exposed to dynamic seismic burden and its mix and the disappointment of primary individuals was noted. Accordingly retrofitting was done in the following two models. In Model 3 the structure was retrofitted with bracings were as in Model 4 section jacketing and in Model 5 shear divider were utilized. Boundaries like removal, time history, firmness and base shear were chosen subsequent to leading a careful writing audit. Time-frame of the structure was ascertain according to IS1893-2016, and Zone factor was chosen as 0.1 and 0.16 alongside significance factor as 1 and Soil type as II from a similar code. Then, at that point the same static examination and reaction range investigation was completed on Models 2,3,4 and 5 individually and there results were arranged. In light of the outcomes acquired for the given boundaries and dynamic stacking condition it was reasoned that retrofitting the structure will in general decrease the impacts of dynamic stacking on the design. Further it was noticed that retrofitting the structure with shear divider gave the best suitable outcomes. As it diminished the time-frame of the structure by 32.72% and furthermore lessen the sidelong relocation and story float in both X and Y heading by a decent edge.

The offshore jacket platforms are primarily installed in the large oceans mainly for drilling the crude oil, carbohydrates and production of electricity. The current studies emphasize on the structural performance of offshore deck jacket platform with different bracing systems. Earthquake analysis has been performed to calculate the seismic responses, with the help of bracings to control the seismic induced vibrations of the jacket platforms. For this study, a jacket platform made up of steel members has been modeled and then analyzed under earthquake and wave loadings. This paper mainly deals to compute and compare the seismic behavior of offshore steel deck platform using SAP 2000 v20 software with bracing in the horizontal plane and bracing in both horizontal and vertical planes. The total number of 8 models has been analyzed in the SAP2000 software with bracing i.e. X, V, Inverted V and K in the vertical plane and bracing i.e. X, V, Inverted V and K in both horizontal and vertical plane. A relative study has been carried out in Time period, deck displacement and base shear. Seismic analysis using linear static, i.e. Equivalent static method (ESA) and linear dynamic, i.e. Response spectrum method (RSA) has been performed. Further deck displacement, time period and base shear are determined by Equivalent static method and Response spectrum method for various types of bracing models in both horizontal and vertical planes. Among the all various types of bracing models, Inverted V bracing in the vertical plane is found to be the optimum model among all other models.

Earthquake Ground Motions

Successive earthquakes of Kocaeli and Duzce within three months indicated that even the survived lifeline structures such as bridges under the former event may have damage or collapse potential under the latter event due to their possible stiffness degradation. It is thus important that a rigorous seismic analysis of such structures should account for the effect of prior earthquake damage. For this purpose, nonlinear seismic analysis of a reinforced concrete bridge structure has been carried out under both single and multiple earthquake ground motions. Behavior and response evaluation of the bridge piers subjected to such motions have been discussed in terms of using both flexure-axial and flexure-shear-axial interaction models. Analytical results show that the stiffness degradation under multiple earthquake ground motions is more pronounced than that under single earthquake ground motion. In addition, comparison of the response without and with shear demonstrates that shear deformation is of significance. The response with shear exhibits the increase in displacement demand and decrease in lateral force carrying capacity, leading to a decrease in energy dissipation capacity. It is concluded that seismic analysis of reinforced concrete bridge structure should account for the effect of multiple earthquake ground motions to assess the demand on such structure properly.

In many buildings the centres of resistance do not coincide with the centres of mass. As a consequence, lateral base motion during an earthquake gives rise to torsional vibration of the structure. The inelastic seismic behaviour of asymmetric-plan buildings is considered using the histories of base shear and torque. The procedure to construct the base shear and torque (BST) surface of the system with an arbitrary number of resisting elements in the direction of asymmetry and of ground motion is proposed. The factors that determine the shape of the BST surface are the strength eccentricity, lateral and torsional capacity of the system and planwise distribution of strength. The BST surface contains most of information necessary to describe the inelastic properties of a system. However, the inelastic deformation cannot be computed unless a nonlinear static or dynamic analysis is performed.
