Abstract

Currently, 18,648 bridges with a total length of 510,366 km have been constructed in Indonesia, but only 86% are in good condition, while the rest are damaged. Steel truss bridge damage generally occurs on the RC decks, and its repair is often implemented through deck replacement or redecking using Orthotropic Steel Deck (OSD) panel. In Indonesia, this method has only been applied limitedly at the Citarum I Bridge in 2009 and the Cisadane Bridge in 2013, while the effect on the existing steel truss bridge is unknown. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the steel truss bridge performance after OSD panel redecking through numerical modeling. The design process of the OSD panel was carried out by micro-modeling on ABAQUS CAE using shell elements with a mesh size of 50x50 mm and pinned boundary conditions. In this stage, the materials were assumed to be elastic with small deformations. The evaluation of steel truss bridge performance was performed on the A-class steel truss bridge Bina Marga design standard with a 60 m span by comparing the existing bridge inventory rating factor (using RC decks) to OSD panel redecking, which is an indicator of bridge self-weight reduction. Based on the structural macro-model developed using SAP2000, the bridge self-weight reduced the axial tension and compression forces on the steel truss bridge mainframe by 20.6%-24.6% and 20.5%-24.5%, respectively. Consequently, this increased the inventory rating factor by 9.3%-9.5%. In other words, using the OSD panels lighter than the existing RC decks increases the steel truss bridge capacity to resist the live load or vehicle rating throughout its service life.

Abstract

The adequacy of the structural performance of a wharf in withstanding seismic loads is of paramount importance. Therefore, this research aims to conduct an accurate pushover analysis on the adequacy of a wharf located in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The study provides a comprehensive overview of the seismic performance of the wharf by examining displacement and strain parameters of its plastic hinge components under various loading conditions. To simulate accidental torsion, the wharf structure was analyzed by introducing variations in the eccentricity offset of the lateral pushover load of -5%, 0%, and 5% from the center of mass. The analysis of the torsion behavior involved a comprehensive examination of four control points located at each corner of the wharf plan. Additionally, the investigation took into account, the crucial aspect of soil-structure interaction by considering the equivalent fixity depth of the pile, which was used to evaluate the fixity length of the structure. In order to determine the target displacement of the wharf, analysis was performed in accordance with the established methodologies outlined in FEMA 356. It is also important to note that the seismic performance of the wharf was evaluated based on acceptance criteria in the form of strain limits imposed on various components, including concrete elements, reinforcing steel, and steel pipes, as prescribed by ASCE 61-14. In this study, a total of 30 models were examined, and the obtained results showed that the structure exhibited controlled and repairable damage even when subjected to a 475-year earthquake return period (CLE: Contingency Level Earthquake). Following this, the analysis of variations in displacement control point served to determine the inherent torsion exhibited by the structure, and the introduction of different lateral load eccentricity offsets and variations in pushover loading direction were found to contribute to the increased displacement and strain in the plastic hinge components.
