Kriging Metamodel-Based Seismic Fragility Analysis of Single-Bent Reinforced Concrete Highway Bridges

A methodology for Determining the Seismic Vulnerability of Old Concrete Highway Bridges by Using Fragility Curves

Past earthquakes have demonstrated that old RC bridges may be seismically vulnerable. Bridge responses during the last decades illustrated the necessity of the seismic assessment of bridges especially those which were designed with old codes. In this research an existing concrete bridge representative of the most common bridges in the highway system in Iran are studied. Push over and nonlinear ...

Time-dependent Seismic Fragility Curves on Optimal Retrofitting of Neutralized Reinforced Concrete Bridges

Fragility Curve Development for Assessing the Seismic Vulnerability of Highway Bridges (1997-1999)

The purpose of this research is to set forth the basis for developing fragility curves that can be used in various ways as part of a seismic vulnerability analysis methodology for highway bridges. To develop a set of fragility curves for various damage states for a specific bridge, the notion of adjusting “Standard Bridge” fragility curves for sitespecific effects is adopted. Only three sources...

Recent Innovation for Concrete Highway Bridges

A new generation of concrete highway bridges has recently been built in Canada using new design concepts and advanced materials for reinforcing and prestressing concrete . This paper describes briefly the design and construction of three bridges. The first smart concrete highway bridge (Centre Street, Beddington Bridge, Calgary, Alberta) is prestressed by carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) ...
