  9. Effect of Vertical Ground Motion on Bridge Pier

  10. Parametric Study with Simple Model L1 L2 H Pier Section • Parameters • Five equal spans with each span length varying 10m to 50m • Variable span (5 cases): The ratio of the length of first span to that of second span is changed from 0.2 to 1.0 • Variable column height (5 cases): 4 m to 12 m • Ground motions recorded at 6 stations • 6 combinations of components for each EQ record • L, T, L+T, L+V, T+V and L+T+V • L: longitudinal GM, T: Transverse GM, V: Vertical GM

  11. Parametric Study with Simple Model VGM HGM Axial force variation Increasing ratio of V due to VGM Axial force Summary • Axial force is mainly affected by vertical ground motion • Especially, as span ratio increase, the effect of vertical seismic motion to axial force increase significantly only when vertical record is considered • Shear capacity is reduced by vertical ground motion • Span length is longer • Span ratio is close to 1 • Column height is shorter • In case of seismic assessment for the structure with above geometric configurations, vertical ground motion should be considered

Circular Pier (D=1219) Circular Pier (D=1219) Circular Pier (D=1219) 4740 18960 32260 30795 13875 27215 127755 Layout of Santa Monica Freeway (unit, mm) Modeling and Consideration • Prototype Structure • Collector-Distributor 36 of the Santa Monica (I10) Freeway • Significant damage by Northridge earthquake (1994) • Model Structure • The bridge is assumed to have three piers • The initial loads applied to the top of piers as deck self-weight • 6 earthquake records used in parametric study were selected

  13. Complex Straight Bridge Contribution of VGM to axial force variation Increasing ratio of shear capacity by VGM Horizontal period of vibration Vertical period of vibration Period change by V/H ratio Effect of V/H Ratio • Variable V/H ratios • A fixed time interval and PGA of horizontal ground motion • 16 V/H ratios per earthquake record are considered • Range of 0.5 to 2.0 with an increment of 0.1 • Effect on the periods of vibration • The period is elongated for both components as the vertical amplitude increases • The slope of rate of period increase is steeper up to a V/H Ratio of 1.0 • Effect on Axial Force and Shear Capacity • Axial force variation increases as V/H ratio increases • Shear capacity is reduced by 5% to 36%

  14. Complex Straight Bridge Increasing ratio of capacity by VGM Horizontal period of vibration, Kobe (port Island) Effect of Time Interval • Variable time interval • Range 0.0 to 5.0 sec with an increment of 0.5 sec (11 cases) • This is accomplished by shifting the HGM along the time axis • The original recorded V/H ratios are fixed • Effect on the period vibration and Shear Capacity • The horizontal period is more elongated when the time interval is small • The shear capacity tends to increase slightly as the arrival time interval increases

  15. Torsional Effect on Bridge Pier

  16. Proto-type Bridge FHWA No.4 Skew Bridge (FHWA-SA-97-009, 1996)

  17. Parametric Study with Various Skew Angles Fundamental Vibration Modes 1st Mode: Longitudinal F1 : 1.99 (Hz) 2nd Mode: Transverse F2 : 2.40 (Hz) Parametric Skew Angles 3rd Mode: Rotational F3 : 2.96 (Hz) 4th Mode: Bending F4 : 3.34 (Hz)

  18. Effect of Skew on Natural Frequencies • Up to 30 degree, effect of skew angle is slightly small on the fundamental frequencies. • Effect is more significant on deck bending modes than any other modes.

  19. Parametric Study with Span Length Ratios Parametric Model Span Length Configurations Asymmetric Span Ratios Symmetric Span Ratios

  20. Effect of Span Length Ratios • Rotational and Bending modes are sensitive to the variation of span length ratios. • Effect of the skew angle in any span length ratio configuration are negligible on the natural frequencies.

  21. Effect of Span Length Ratios Torsional effect is higher than any other piers in any configurations. Torsional Effect on RC Piers Torsional / Transverse Ratio in Transverse Mode Symmetric Span Ratios Asymmetric Span Ratios • In symmetric span length configurations, torsional effect on any piers are somewhat similar regardless of skew angle. • With skew angle and asymmetric span length configuration, torsional effect in fundamental modes can be significantly different depends on the location of the piers.

  22. Selection of Bridge Configurations Case 1 Skew Angle: 0 (degree) Span Length Ratio: 1/1.2 : 1.0 : 1/1.2 Case 2 Skew Angle: 30 (degree) Span Length Ratio: 1/1.2 : 1.0 : 1/1.2 Case 3 Skew Angle: 30 (degree) Span Length Ratio: 1/1.2 : 1.0 : 1/2.0 1/2.0 1/1.2 1/1.2 1 1 1 1/1.2 1/1.2 1/1.2 • In order to see the effect of skew angle, two bridge configurations, straight and 30 degree skew angle, are selected for further detail study. • For the evaluation of extreme torsional effect within regular bridge category, configuration with span length ratio, 1/1.2-1.0-1/1.2, is also selected for further study.
