  1. NEES SFSI Demonstration Project Project Meeting – August 1, 2005 Austin, TX Matthew Dryden Prof. Gregory Fenves University of California, Berkeley

  2. NEES SFSI Simulations – UCBObjectives • Develop component and system models for bridge-foundation system. • Calibrate models using experimental data: • Column tests: cyclic model for columns • Field tests: response of single bent including pile-soil interaction • Centrifuge tests: response of piles, bents, and system at small scale • Shake table tests: response of structural system at large scale • Synthesize prototype system model from calibrated models and conduct parameter study on different configurations and site conditions. • Simulation tasks are coordinated between Univ. Washington, UC Davis, and UC Berkeley with coordination of project investigators.

  15. Collaborative Efforts with UCD • Collaboration between UCB and UCD on development of SFSI models using OpenSees

  16. 2-span or 4-span bridges. Column heights based on dimensions of centrifuge tests. Include a range of soil types to investigate the influence of site effects on the system response. Selection of Prototype Systems

  17. Study the effect of variation in ground level on the response of bridges (differing motions at abutment level vs. at base of columns). Determine the sensitivity of the response to various abutment models. Selection of Prototype Systems

  18. Prototype Model • Simulate the response of a long viaduct. • Excitation applied as displacement time histories determined from SHAKE analyses.

  32. Continuing Work - Hierarchy of Models • Develop models at varying levels of sophistication to determine how much complexity is necessary to capture the response adequately. • OpenSees 3-D model of structure with p-y curves and displacement time histories determined from SHAKE analyses. • Collaborate with UCD to develop 3-D model of structure with 3-D solid elements for the soil.
