1 Quantifying Seismic Bridge Performance in Terms of Loss and Sustainability From Earthquake Image Information System, University of California Berkeley! Kevin Mackie Visiting Professor - ETH Zurich Associate Professor - University of Central Florida [email protected] [email protected] Aristotle University March 20, 2013

2 2 Seismic vulnerability: Collapse Bridge is not safe No traffic Detours, delays Questions: Rebuild/repair costs? Traffic routing? How long will it take?

3 3 Seismic vulnerability: Damage, no collapse How safe is the bridge for traffic? How quickly can repairs be made? Load rating?

4 4 Seismic vulnerability: Slight damage Repair? Disregard?

5 5 Economic decisions for bridges Total Losses Life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) perspective of post-earthquake losses Direct Losses repair replacement Repair cost Replacement cost Repair time Indirect Losses loss of traffic function closure Immediate access Emergency only Closed Component Level Bridge Level But how to quantify the environmental cost/losses?

6 6 PBEE: Overview & motivation Performance-based earthquake engineering Trend away from prescriptive approaches Performance metrics meaningful to engineers, stakeholders, practitioners, and owners alike Repair Cost Repair Time Carbon Footprint Focus on quantifying damage and consequences, not only demand Requires multi-disciplinary view of seismic risk assessment for bridge-ground systems

7 7 A roadmap to PBEE for bridges Local Linearization Repair Cost and Time (LLRCAT) methodology: Seismic Hazard Analysis Response Analysis Damage Analysis Repair Estimates Repair Cost Loss Analysis RC: repair cost decision variable UC: unit repair cost IM: intensity measure EDP: engineering demand parameter DM: damage measure Q: repair quantity Repair Time Loss Analysis RT: repair time decision variable PR: labor production rate Demand models Damage models Sustainability Loss Analysis CF: carbon footprint decision var. Scope multipliers Repair models Loss models Hazard characterization Demand Simulation Damage & Loss Estimation Mackie, et al (2010). Post-earthquake bridge repair cost and repair time estimation methodology." Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics, 39(3):

8 8 Loss modeling Probabilistic loss/decision model Separate the repair model from the loss model Becomes an assembly-based procedure (vector) Divide bridge-ground system into performance groups (PGs) or repair groups (RGs) Contains a collection of components that reflect global-level indicators of structural performance and that contribute significantly to repair-level decisions Need to reassemble losses from PG to get total (requires correlation)

9 9 Damage & loss models 1.) Define Performance Groups (PG) and response metric (EDP) that captures behavior of PG P[DS > ds j ] DS1 DS3 EDP Repeat for each PG 2.) Define discrete Damage States (DS) for each PG. Each DS has a fragility function 4.) Perform cost and schedule estimation 3.) Define a repair method for each DS that specifies material quantities Item! Repair Item Description! Unit! Unit Cost! Q1! Replace column! SF! $ 120! 80! Q2! Inject cracks with epoxy! LF! $ 80! 3! Q3!

11 11 Procedure for bridge-specific data 1. Define performance groups (PG) PGs are collections of structural components that are grouped by engineering demands and related repair methods. 2. Define damage states (DS) Each PG has 1 or more discrete damage states with a repair method (and a fragility). 3. Create damage scenarios Scenarios provide specificity needed to estimate quantities, costs, and time for repairs among various damage states. 4. Estimate damage scenarios Repair estimates for the damage scenarios provide cost and repair time data. 5. Perform life-cycle analysis (LCA) Repair model and initial construction data used to generate carbon footprint or embodied energy.

14 14 2. Define Damage States (DS) Each performance group has one or more discrete damage states. Each damage state also has a specific repair method with material quantities dependent on bridge information. DS0 DS1 DS2 DS Onset of damage Maximum possible damage

26 26 Challenges Everyone focuses on components of interest (soil, column, abutment, etc.) Need a way to consider bridge-ground system response FE models produce deterministic output Need many runs to vary ground motions or other model parameters Mountains of data produced (nodal displ. of mesh, soil stresses, etc.) Need to identify response measures that can be related to consequences Structural and geotechnical engineers not typically experts in post-earthquake response and repair Need expertise of maintenance, construction, and emergency response personnel

27 27 Challenges to Action Expert knowledge required in each area Problem not tractable for more common bridges Need a way to move PBEE forward beyond academic exercise:

28 28 BridgePBEE Graphical interface for integrated performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE)

29 29 BridgePBEE Graphical interface for integrated PBEE Handle the input ground motion ensemble and computing the corresponding intensity measures Automatically generate user-defined bridge-ground FE models Build the post-processing capability to display seismic response ensembles, and to display PBEE outcomes

39 39 Ideas for thought Original D-D-D Never considered downtime Focused entirely on component system damage mapping, should be considering functionality Limited DV to direct costs Need to consider broader consequences for design Sustainability Carbon footprint, embodied energy API to enable Resiliency through performanceenhanced elements End-user focuses on innovation in individual components

44 46 Conclusions Performance metrics for bridges that transcend demand Repair cost and time Carbon footprint BridgePBEE: Enabling tool for research, assessment, etc. Direct integration with NGA motions Automatic 3D SFSI meshing Automatic linking to performance groups and generation of PBEE quantities

45 47 Conclusions Bridges are coupled bridge-ground systems Difficult to assess demands and losses without proper consideration of soil domain/boundaries with structure Many limitations/opportunities for development Studies limited to certain classes of bridges (singlebent, straight RC overpasses) Lack of PBEE data for other bridges and systems Basically ignoring indirect costs/functionality LCCA and LCA should consider maintenance/ degradation Ultimately this is all assessment: need to decide what s important for design
