Evaluation of Iterative DBD Procedures for Bridges

This report addresses the problem of the Displacement Based Evaluation/Design (DBE/D) of reinforced concrete bridges. Throughout the report, the aims and limitations of current seismic evaluation and design practice and the tendencies of the displacement-based seismic evaluation/design are discussed. It presents a state-of-the-art review on the most important results and lessons derived from previous works, and based on them, two evaluation/design methods consistent with the performance-based seismic design philosophy are presentedJRC.G.5-European laboratory for structural assessmen

COMPORTAMENTO MORFOLÓGICO DA PRAIA DO RIO DAS PACAS, FLORIANÓPOLIS – SC – BRASIL

The present paper presents aspects of the morphological behavior of Rio das Pacas Beach, situated in the Southeast portion of the Island of Santa Catarina - SC. The methodology adopted consisted in the monitoring of three beaches profiles, every twenty days, during the period of one year. Besides the topographical survey, there were also carried out observation on height and wave periods, wind direction and intensity and current direction. The results indicated a great variation on the profiles throughout the monitored period, especially evidenced in the values of width and sedimentary supply of the beach (highest variations reaching 30m and 40m3/m between two consecutive expeditions), where it was possible to identify seasonal behavior characterized by accretion during the end of spring and summer and erosion in autumn and winter. The erosive periods were of bigger magnitude than the accretion, and in the extremities of the beach, the complete recovery of sediments was not reached during the monitored period. Events of high energy (undertows) that reached the beach revealed capacity to modify the morphology of the beach system, also eroding frontal dunes settled for vegetation and partially destroying anthropic structures – such as walls, poles, props and fences - constructed on the frontal dune and backshore

Simplified Models/Procedures for Estimation of Secant-to-Yielding Stiffness, Equivalent Damping, Ultimate Deformations and Shear Capacity of Bridge Piers on the Basis of Numerical Analysis

The present report gives charts and expressions for computing the equivalent stiffness and damping of bridge piers of rectangular hollow cross section at maximum displacement within the framework of displacement based design and assessment of bridges, based on the results of parametric non-linear cyclic fibre section analysis calibrated from full-scale experimental results. A state of the art review is presented concerning the different approaches that may be adopted to model shear effects in reinforced concrete columns concerning the different approaches that may be adopted to model the shear effects in reinforced concrete columns.JRC.G.5-European laboratory for structural assessmen
