Abstract

Structural degradation caused by sudden damaging extreme events (e.g. earthquake) has significant impact on residual life of bridges and ultimately the collapse of bridges. This paper presents a reliability-based approach of a bridge subjected to shock degradation caused by earthquake events. In particular, this study develops a numerical procedure for assessing time dependent probability of failure to estimate the residual life a bridge. Key factors that govern the residual life of a bridge (e.g., damage size caused by earthquake shocks and loss of initial structural capacity) were investigated. The results of study show that both damage size caused by earthquake shocks and loss of initial structural capacity are key factors that govern residual life of a bridge. Keywords: residual life, earthquake, shock degradation, bridge.

Abstract

Bridges are a critical part of transport infrastructure networks for social activities and economics of human life. Dynamic analysis of bridge is very important to perform in order to ensure the ability of the bridge to withstand loads and maintain the sustainability of transport infrastructure. This paper presents a methodological framework for monitoring dynamic behavior of the bridge (e.g., natural frequencies, displacement time history) by using civil engineering micro-tremor technique and numerical modeling. The study was conducted at the Alue Raya Bridge located in Lhokseumawe City, Aceh Province, Indonesia. To capture the dynamic behavior of the bridge under traffic loading, the micro-tremor techniques, e.g., Short Period Seismograph (SPS) sensor was placed underneath the bridge at the mid span of the bridge girder. The obtained vibration data were processed using Geopsy software. A three dimensional (3D) model of the bridge was then developed by using CSI Bridge software. The modal analysis was conducted to obtain the modal natural frequencies of the bridge due to traffic loads. The natural frequency measurements using SPS were compared with the simulation results. Through analyzing the measured results, it was found that the natural frequency of the bridge is around 4,3275 Hz which is very close to those obtained from numerical modeling using CSI bridge software. The measured maximum vertical displacement of the bridge girders is below 5mm under normal traffic condition which is under the allowable serviceability limit state requirements of the bridge. The outcomes of this study could have the potential to enable maintenance and capital works decisions which are an important component of the sustainability of transport infrastructure.
