3 Detailed evaluation Methods of Evaluation (6). These include both demand and analyses/ assessments (exceptions exist). Tools for the Evaluation Methods. These include: Structural modeling Assessment of bridge for strength and deformation Geotechnical modeling Assessment of foundation for strength and deformation Methods of evaluation In general, all evaluation methods involve (figure 1-13): Demand analysis Capacity assessment Calculation of a / demand ratio either for each critical component in a bridge or for bridge as a complete system Exceptions exist 3
4 Methods of evaluation continued Three categories, six methods: I. No demand analysis 1.Method A1/A2 ( checks made for seats and connections) 2. Method B ( checks made for seats connections, columns, and footings) II. Component C/D evaluation 3. Method C (elastic analysis: uniform load method, multimode spectral analysis; prescriptive rules given for calculation of component ) Methods of evaluation continued III. Structure C/D evaluation 4. Method D1 (-spectrum method: elastic analysis for demands, simplified models for calculation of ; 5. Method D2 (pushover method: elastic analysis for demands, nonlinear static analysis used for calculation of pier ) 6. Method E (nonlinear time history analysis for calculation of both demand and ) 4
5 Evaluation methods (T5-1) A1/ A2 B C D1 D2 E METHOD Connection and Seat Width Checks Component Capacity Checks Component Capacity/Demand Method Capacity Spectrum Method Structure Capacity/Demand Method Nonlinear Dynamic Method CAPACITY ASSESSMENT Uses default due to non-seismic loads for connections and seat widths. Uses default due to non-seismic loads for connections, seats, columns and foundations. Uses component capacities for connections, seat widths, column details, footings, and liquefaction susceptibility (11 items). Uses bilinear representation of structure for lateral load, subject to restrictions on bridge regularity. Uses pushover curve from detailed analysis of superstructure, individual piers and foundation limit states. Uses component capacities for connections, seat widths, columns and footings. DEMAND ANALYSIS Not required SRC 1 A D B APPLICABILITY Bridge Type All single-span bridges. Bridges in low hazard zones. Not required C Regular bridges, but subject to limitations on FvS1. Elastic Methods 2 : ULM MM TH Elastic Methods 2 : ULM Elastic Methods 2 : ULM MM TH Inelastic Methods 2 TH C & D C & D Regular and irregular bridges that respond almost elastically, such as those in low-to-moderate seismic zones and those with stringent performance criteria. Regular bridges that behave as single-degree-of-freedom systems and have rigid in-plane superstructures. COMMENTS Hand method, spreadsheet useful. Hand method, spreadsheet useful. Calculates C/D ratios for individual components. This is the C:D Method of previous FHWA Highway Bridge Retrofitting Manuals. Software required for demand analysis. Calculates C/D ratios for complete bridge, for specified limit states. Spreadsheet useful. C & D Regular and irregular bridges. Calculates C/D ratios for bridge superstructure, individual piers, and foundations. Also known as Nonlinear Static Procedure or Displacement Capacity Evaluation Method. Software required for demand and analysis. D Irregular complex bridges, or when site specific ground motions are to be used such as for bridges of major importance. Most rigorous method, expert skill required. Software essential. Methods A1, A2 and B No demand analysis required, only a assessment A1/A2 previously described B - Component Capacity Method An extension of A1/A2 to columns, column/footing connections, column/superstructure connections, but not abutments. 5
6 Method B: component method 1. Check applicability of method (restrictions) 2. Check all seats, bearings and connections as per Method A2 3. Check that reinforced concrete columns have minimum longitudinal reinforcement of 0.8% reinforcement details satisfying current AASHTO specifications for shear and confinement 4. Check steel columns for compactness Method B continued 5. Check adjacent members for strength to resist shears and moments caused by plastic hinging in columns, using an overstrength ratio of Check foundations for strength to resist shears and moments caused by plastic hinging in columns, using an overstrength ratio of 1.0 6
7 Restrictions on Method B Low to moderate hazard: Seismic Hazard Levels I and II Limitations on: column axial load longitudinal reinforcement ratio smallest column dimension or diameter M:VD ratio Bridge regularity (skew, curvature, span length, stiffness and mass distribution) Foundation type if a liquefiable site (piled) Method C: component /demand method Capacity/demand ratios calculated for all components r = R C ΣQ Q EQ NSi Based on elastic response In 1983 and 1995 FHWA Retrofit Manual 7

9 Restrictions on Method C Applicable to bridges responding almost elastically ( essentially elastic behavior) such as those in low-moderate seismic zones and/or required to behave elastically to satisfy Performance Level requirements Method D1: -spectrum method Direct consideration of inelastic behavior; quick estimate Restricted to bridges that can be modeled as a single degree of freedom (SDOF); assumes the same deflection at the tops of all piers Uses a pushover curve 9
