Probabilistic Evaluation of Seismic Performance of RC Bridges in Iran
Many existing bridges were designed without adequate consideration of seismic risk. The full or partial collapse of even one major bridge in a city or community would have destroying results. There has been focuses on developing fragility-based seismic vulnerability of existing usual bridges in Iran or support decision making on seismic upgrade. This article focuses on developing performance b...
متن کاملEvaluation of Existing Bridges by Field Testing
The objective of the presented research is to develop an efficient control system for highway load effects that involves the control of various parameters including: truck weight (axle weights and axle spacing), truck load distribution on bridge girders, dynamic load, strain, stress and deflection of bridge components, and verification procedure for the minimum load carrying capacity. This stud...
متن کاملDevelopment of dynamic impact factor for performance evaluation of existing multi-girder concrete bridges
The dynamic effect of moving vehicles on bridges is generally treated as a dynamic load allowance (or dynamic impact factor) in many design codes. Due to the road surface deterioration of existing bridges, studies have shown that the calculated impact factors from field measurements could be higher than the values specified in design codes that mainly target at new bridge designs. This paper de...
متن کاملDeveloping a Cost-Effective Risk Mitigation Plan for New and Existing Constructed Facilities
Protecting constructed facilities from damages from natural and man-made hazards in a costeffective manner is a challenging task. Several measures of economic performance are available for evaluating building-related investments. These measures include, but are not limited to, life-cycle cost, present value net savings, savings-to-investment ratio, and adjusted internal rate of return. This gui...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Existing Bridges under Vehicle Dynamic Effects
This paper summarizes the recent work by the first author’s research group related to the performance evaluation of existing bridges under vehicle dynamic effects. Based on the data from short-term monitoring of existing bridges, a framework to estimate the extreme structure responses from the live load in a mean recurrence interval is developed in the first part. The Gumbel distribution of the...
