Causes of Combined ActionsSystem to Component to System • Functional Constraints - curved or skewed bridges • Geometric Considerations - uneven spans or different column heights • Multi-directional Earthquake Motions -significant vertical motions input or near field fling impacts • Structural Constraints - stiff deck, movement joints, soil condition and foundations
Significance of Vertical Motion • Effects of Vertical Motions on Structures • Direct Compressive Failure • Reduction of Shear and Moment Capacity • Increase in Shear and Moment Demand • Axial Force Response
Significance of Torsion • Interaction of Shear-Torsion results in early cover spalling of non-circular/rectangular cross-sections due to circulatory shear stresses. • What are the effects of warping on the flexural and shear capacity of columns? • What is the impact of multiple loadings on thin-tube theory? • What are the effects on the curvature ductility and location of the plastic hinge?
Bending-Shear Combination of Bending-Shear- Torsion M-V-T Interactions Shear- Torsion
Parameters • Cross-section - Circle, Interlocking Spiral, Square • Column aspect ratio - moment/shear ratio • Torsion/shear ratio - high and low torsion • Level of axial loads • Level of detailing for high and moderate seismicity • Bidirectional bending moment - non-circular cross-sections • Type of Loading – Slow Cyclic, Pseudo-dynamic and shake table/dynamic
Pre-test System Analysis • Perform seismic simulations of bridge systems under combined actions to study effects of various bridge components on global and local seismic response behavior of bridge system • Bridge superstructure • Columns (Piers) • Foundations and surrounding soil • Embankments • Nonlinear soil-foundation-structure interaction • Multi-directional motions
Analysis • Selected 4 ground motion suites that incorporate the site-dependent probabilistic hazard analysis and ground motion disaggregation analysis. • Selected 2 bridge prototypes that are distinctive in terms of structural characteristics and dynamic properties. • Conducted time history analysis of prototype bridges subjected to multi-directional ground shakings and evaluate the effect of vertical motions on seismic demand. • Implemented nonlinear structural and foundation elements.

Pre-test Component Analysis • Perform pretest simulations of test specimens with realistic loading and boundary conditions • Provide guidance for tests conducted • Optimize number and parameters of test specimens • Identify realistic loading and boundary conditions • Integrate various analytical models into the framework of UI-Simcor for pseudo-dynamic hybrid testing
Analytical Program • Development Inelastic Models for RC Sections under Combined Loading • Modeling of Specimens tested under Pseudo-Dynamic/Dynamic Conditions • Complex and Simplified Tools • Parametric Studies • Bridge System Analysis • Development of Seismic Design Criteria
Development Inelastic Models for RC Sections under Combined Loading Deficiencies of Available Analytical Models: • Current Inelastic Frame software Packages (e.g. OpenSees, Zeus-NL, FedeasLab) focus on flexural behavior of RC members only. • The combined axial/shear/flexural/torsional behavior is not considered in current models.
Experimental Program • Experimental investigation of columns under multi-directional loadings with varying levels of axial force and axial-flexure interaction ratios linked to analysis. • Slow cyclic tests at UMR. • Pseudo-dynamic tests at UIUC • Dynamic tests at UNR • Integrated bridge test managed by UMR, tested at UIUC
