Comparative nonlinear analysis of a RC 2D frame soil-pile interaction

U radu je sprovedena komparativna nelinearna statička (NSA) i nelinearna dinamička analiza (NDA) seizmičkog ponašanja rama kao dela skeletne konstrukcije AB zgrade fundirane na šipovima. Da bi se dobila realnija slika ponašanja ramovske konstrukcije u analizu je uključena interakcija konstrukcija - temelj - tlo. Pri tome u proračunski model je uključena i linearno-nelinearna dinamička interakcija šip-tlo korišćenjem link elemenata. Konstrukcija temelja sastoji se od bušenih šipove prečnika 60cm. Tlo je modelovano sa više (linijskih) plastičnih veznih elemenata, kao p-y krivama, sa obe strane šipa, za potopljen krut pesak, i uz pretpostavku da p-y krive (eksperimentalno određene nelinearne krive zavisnosti: pomeranje/pritisak, u tlu po dubini šipa) primaju samo pritisak. Analizom je ukazano na probleme, koje prate izdvajanje 2D ramova kao reprezenta regularne prostorne 3D konstrukcije. Proučen je uticaj pojave i lokacije pojedinih plastičnih zglobova na seizmičke performanse analiziranog konstruktivnog sistema, i analizirana relativna spratna pomeranja (driftovi). Zaključeno je da se analizom 2D rama u interakciji sa temeljom i tlom, mogu dobiti dovoljno tačni rezultati ponašanja i ocene seizmičkih performansi skeletne AB višespratne zgrade. To je značajno jer uvođenje prostorne konstrukcije u ovakve analize je veoma kompleksno i zahtevno.Comparative non-linear static (NSA) and non-linear dynamic analyses (NDA) of 2D frames (as parts of skeletal 3D structures) of RC buildings founded on piles are presented in this paper. In order to produce a more realistic presentation of behaviour of a frame structure, the analysis involves a structure-foundation-soil interaction. Also, the model involves a linear-non-linear dynamic pile-soil interaction, using link elements. The foundation consists of drilled piles having 60 cm in diameter. The soil is modelled using Multi-linear plastic link elements, as well as with p-y curves, on both sides of the pile, assuming that p-y curves transfer only compression (p-y curves are experimentally determined non-linear relationships of displacement/pressure in soil, along the depth of a pile). The analysis shows the problems which accompany extraction of a 2D frame, as a representative of a regular 3D space frame. The impact of onset and location of individual plastic hinges on seismic performances of the analyzed structural system are investigated, and relative floor drifts are analyzed. It was concluded that the analysis of 2D frame, in the interaction with the foundation and soil, may provide sufficiently accurate results of behaviour and assessments of seismic performances of skeletal RC multi-storey building. It is important, because introduction of a spatial structure in such analyses is very complex and challenging

Multidisciplinary approach to the assessment of seismic performances and rehabilitation of bridges: nonlinear analyses, probability theory and optimization theory

The paper presents a multidisciplinary approach to the assessment of seismic performances based on the Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE), taking into account the multi-criteria optimization theory in analyzing the priority methods for bridge rehabilitation/strengthening. One bridge model was subjected to nonlinear static pushover analyses (NSPA), target displacement analyses using the spectrum capacity method (CSM), vulnerability analyses, and reliability analyses, while for a damaged bridge, in addition to be considered using the above methods, was also analyzed using the VIKOR method of multi criteria optimization. Seismic performances were determined based on monitoring the system's plastification and analyzing the relevant parameters for the level of target displacement, such as target displacement, total shear force, spectral displacement, spectral acceleration, vibration period, damping and ductility. The phases of damage were considered using the probabilistic analysis of vulnerability and reliability: slight, moderate, extensive and complete, as a function of system ductility

Fragility and reliability analyses of soil -pile -bridge pier interaction

U radu je prikazana procedura evaluacije seizmičkih performansi interakcije šip-tlo inkrementalnom nelinearnom dinamičkom analizom (INDA -Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis). Ulazni signal u sistemu je tretiran preko generisanih veštačkih akcelerograma, a koji su dodatno procesirani po slojevima tla do osnovne stene. Postprocesiranje INDA analiza izvršeno je posebno za stub, a posebno za šip, tako da su konstruisane krive PGA=f(DR) u kapacitativnom domenu. Za ovako konstruisane krive određeni su performansni nivoi, a na osnovu određenih DR i PGA parametara sprovedene su regresione analize. Krive povredljivosti su konstruisane na osnovu rešenja regresione analize i teorije verovatnoće log-normalne raspodele. Takođe, konstruisane su i krive pouzdanosti na osnovu rešenja analize povredljivosti. Metodološki postupak za analizu seizmičkih performansi, prezentovan u ovom istraživanju, omogućava integrisano kvantitativno-kvalitativno razmatranje i evaluaciju kompleksne interakcije konstrukcija-tlo (SFSI -Soil-Foundation-Structure Interaction).The purpose of this paper is to present the methodology for performance-based seismic evaluation of soil-pile-bridge pier interaction using the incremental nonlinear dynamic analysis (INDA). The system's input signal was treated through the generated artificial accelerograms which were subsequently processed by soil layers and for the bedrock. The INDA analysis was post processed separately for the pier and for the pile, so that the constructed PGA=f(DR) curves are in the capacitive domain. For these curves the authors identified the performance levels, while the regression analyses were conducted based on the specific DR and PGA parameters. Fragility curves were constructed based on the solutions of regression analysis and the probability theory of log-normal distribution. Based on the results of fragility analysis, reliability curves were also constructed. The methodological procedure for seismic performance analysis presented in this study provides an integrated quantitative-qualitative consideration and evaluation of the complex soil-foundation-structure interaction (SFSI)

Behavior and analysis of RC bridges during earthquakes

U radu je prikazano ponašanje, i neka karakteristična oštećenja i loma mostova tokom zemljotresa, sa težištem na betonske mostove. Dati su neki uslovi projektovanja mostova prema EC8, primeri i konstruktivni detalji. Mostovi su veoma povredljive konstrukcije podložne oštećenju pri dejstu zemljotresnih opterećenja, pa je neophodno obezbeđenje njihove otpornosti.

The methods of analysis of beam and continuous bridges which are appropriate for the type and importance of the bridges are concisely described and commented upon. Appropriate details are selected with an aim of increasing the structural resistance and potential for energy dissipation. It is indicated that there is a need for an increase in usage of continual and integral bridges due to their longer durability in comparison to the classical bridges. The analysis mostly includes the concrete bridges of medium and small spans, which are the most common bridge types in our country and of larger ranges abroad.

Deciding the order of interventions on the structure of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges for earthquake conditions

A multitude of existing bridges fail to meet the criteria of seismic resistance, as designed according to inadequate regulations, which eventually led to the reduction in their resistance. This practice requires interventions (rehabilitation or strengthening) conducted on their structure, which in turn requires developing methods of assessment of seismic performances of existing reinforced concrete (RC) girder bridges. Due to budget constrains it is impossible to strengthen all the bridges, so that a list of priorities is necessary to be drawn. The rank of a specific bridge in this list is stated by the importance of the road, age of the bridge, technical regulations according to which the bridge was designed and the condition of vital support elements. Ranking requires conducting multi-criteria optimization. This paper is focused on overpass, which is used to demonstrate the developed methodology

Developing a methodology for the integrated numerical evaluation and performance assessment of soil-pile-pier

In the paper is developed a discrete numerical solid pile model with a discontinuity and defects. Model included performance-based seismic evaluation of the soil-pile-bridge pier interaction. The pile discontinuity and defects are modelled by reducing the specific finite elements and elastic modulus of concrete. The wave-propagation response of the pile was analyzed based on a step-by-step numerical integration using the Hilber-Hughes-Taylor (HHT) method in time domain (THA). The response analysis is performed with an integration of individual reflectograms into a reflectogram surface, which is generated in a 3D cylindrical coordinate system. Non-linear response of the system is considered using the incremental-iterative Newton-Raphson`s method, while the stability analysis is performed according to the modified geometrical nonlinearity analysis of stability. Determination of critical load and effective length of the pile are performed based on numerical solution and using regression analysis of the power function. The procedure of the soil-pile-bridge pier performance evaluation is based on the incremental nonlinear dynamic analysis (INDA). The system's input signal is treated through the generated artificial accelerograms, which were subsequently processed by soil layers and for the bedrock. Fragility curves were constructed based on solutions of the regression analysis and the probability theory of log-normal distribution, while the generation of reliability curves is based on a solution of vulnerability

Seismic performances of the structures at variation of artificial accelerograms

U radu je proučen utjecaj promjene parametara umjetnih akcelerograma na seizmičke karakteristike konstrukcija. Pri tome su analizirani seizmički odziv i seizmičko oštećenje. Nelinearni odziv sustava je određivan inkrementalnom dinamičkom analizom (IDA), dok je analiza oštećenja sustava razmatrana na osnovi indeksa oštećenja. Istraživanjem je utvrđeno da je za kreiranje umjetnih akcelerograma potreban znatan broj ciklusa kojim se poboljšava usklađenost spektra odziva zapisa u odnosu na spektar odziva prema EN 1998-1, a što je mjereno na osnovi odstupanja krivulja spektralnih ubrzanja u funkciji duktilnosti sustava.The impact of changes to artificial-accelerogram parameters on the seismic performance of structures is examined in this paper. The seismic response and seismic damage are analysed in this respect. Nonlinear response of the system is determined by the incremental dynamic analysis (IDA), while the damage analysis of the system is considered using the damage index. The study has shown that generation of artificial accelerograms requires a considerable number of cycles, which improves the correspondence between the range of recorded response spectra and the range of the response spectra according to EN 1998-1, which is measured based on deviation of spectral acceleration curves as a function of the ductility of the system

Vertiklana krutost šipova i preraspodela tokom interakcije za linernu promenu modula tla po dubini

The paper shows some characteristic problems of determining the axial stiffness of the pile and redistribution in a group. Some advantages and drawbacks of the use of individual design models are indicated. In the redistribution, the zero iteration is considered, which a condition is when the connecting beams or rafts are fully flexible, and the final iteration when the deflections of the piles are equalized. In the zero iteration, all the forces in the piles are of the same intensity, because only the centrically loaded raft is considered, but the deflections of individual piles during interaction are different. Due to the symmetry of the problem, in the zero iteration, only the certain groups have the equalized deflections of piles, but there is no equalized deflection of the groups themselves. In the final iteration, a distribution of forces in which the deflections of the individual piles during interaction are equalized is sought, i.e. a tolerance that is a relative error of 10 -5 in relation to the mean deflection is set. The soil model with the linear distribution with depth is considered. The effect of the distance of piles on the interaction is studied. Key words: Vertical stiffness, Vertical interaction, Redistribution during Pile-Soil- Pile interaction, distance influences of interaction.XXII ЮБИЛЕЙНА МЕЖДУНАРОДНА НАУЧНА КОНФЕРЕНЦИЯ ПО СТРОИТЕЛСТВО И АРХИТЕКТУРА ВСУ’2022 VSU'2022 Plenary lecture, (p. 10); XXII Anniversary International Scientific Conference by Construction and Architecture VSU’2022, 6 - 8 October 2022, Sofia, Bulgari
