Performance assessment of an existing reinforced cement concrete T-beam and slab bridge using pushover analysis

Performance-Based Seismic Assessment of Shallow Tunnels Using Pushover Analysis

این مقاله قصد دارد که با استفاده از تحلیل بارافزون به تحلیل لرزه ای بر مبنای عملکرد پوشش تونل های کم عمقی که در خاک ساخته شده اند و تحت بارگذاری موج برشی قائم قرار گرفته اند بپردازد. تحلیل بارافزون یک تحلیل استاتیک غیرخطی است که بر اساس جابجا کردن جانبی مدل دو بعدی خاک و تونل عمل می‌کند. این تحلیل تنها مود تغییر شکل اعوجاج (رکینگ) مقطع عرضی پوشش تونل را ارزیابی می‌کند و نسبت به سایر روشهای عددی...

Performance Evaluation of an FRP-Reinforced Concrete Bridge

As part of a larger project to investigate the use of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials in bridge construction, a short-span FRP-reinforced concrete bridge was installed in central Missouri. The Walters Street Bridge is a precast concrete panel bridge reinforced with both glass FRP (GFRP) and carbon FRP (CFRP) reinforcing bars. It was designed according to the American Concrete Institute...

Pushover Analysis of Masonry Infilled Reinforced Concrete Frames for Performance Based Design for Near Field Earthquakes

Non-linear dynamic time history analysis is considered as the most advanced and comprehensive analytical method for evaluating the seismic response and performance of multi-degree-of-freedom building structures under the influence of earthquake ground motions. However, effective and accurate application of the method requires the implementation of advanced hysteretic constitutive models of the ...

Pushover Analysis of Long Span Bridge Bents

Seismic Vulnerability assessment of concrete railway bridge using nonlinear analyses

Bridges, as an essential part of transportation system, play a special role in economy, politic and military all around the world. Serviceability of bridges is of high importance especially in emergencies, helping injured people and proportioning transportation after earthquakes. Earthquake regulation codes, normally suggest linear methods to conduct the analysis, and nonlinear analysis is bare...
