Introduction

Motivation Bridge columns are subjected to combined actions of

axial, shear and flexure forces due to structural and geometrical constraints (skewed, curved etc.) and the multi-directional earthquake input motions.

Axial load variation can directly impact the ultimate capacity, stiffness and hysteretic behavior of shear and flexure responses.

Accurate seismic demand assessment of bridges needs to realistically account for combined actions.

Objectives An efficient analytical scheme considering axial-shear-

flexural interaction Shear and flexural hysteretic models reflecting the

effects of axial load variation and accumulated material damage (e.g. strength deterioration, stiffness degrading, and pinching behavior)

Axial-Shear-Flexural Interaction

• Significance of Non-linear Shear-Flexural Interaction (Ozcebe and Saatcioglu 1989) Shear displacement can be significant -- even if a RC member is not

governed by shear failure (as is the case in most of RC columns). Inelastic shear behavior -- RC members with higher shear strength

than flexural strength do not guarantee an elastic behavior in shear deformation.

• Coupling of Axial-Shear-Flexural Responses (ElMandooh and Ghobarah 2003) Dynamic variation of axial force -- will cause significant change in

the lateral hysteretic moment-curvature relationship and consequently the overall structural behavior in RC columns.

Effects of Axial Load Variation on Total Primary Curves

• Ultimate capacity and stiffness increase with compressive axial load level.• Yielding displacement is almost fixed, regardless of applied axial load.• Cracking point is getting smaller as axial force decreasing, implying the

column being relatively easy to be cracked.

• Proposed ASFI model in general produces larger displacement demand than the fiber section model.

• Vibration frequencies of the two models agree with each other indicating reasonable prediction on the tangent stiffness of the proposed ASFI model.

• Considering only the SFI can yield good prediction on the displacement demand.

Limitations and Known Issues

• Estimation on post-peak stiffness of primary curve family may not be adequate.

• May converge at an incorrect solution for systems with yielding platform.

• May converge at an inconsistent deformed configuration for softening systems.

• Use of full stiffness matrix can somehow improve the above-mentioned convergence issues, however, it is an asymmetric matrix which offsets most of the advantages.

• Larger PGAV/PGAH ratio tends to have larger influence on force demand.

• No significant correlation exists with drift demand.

Considering axial variation does not change overall bridge responses

much.

Summary

• Axial load considerably affects the lateral responses of RC columns.

• Primary curves of the same column under different axial loads can be predicted very well by applying the normalized primary curve and parameterized critical points.

• Mapping between loading branches corresponding to different axial load levels is made possible by breaking the step into two stages: constant deformation stage and constant loading stage.

• Model verification shows that the proposed method is able to capture the effects of axial load variation on the lateral responses of RC columns.

• Transient time analysis on individual bridge column and on prototype bridge system shows that considering axial load variation during earthquake events does not change the drift demand significantly.

Analytical Models for RC Columns

Plastic Hinge Models Using equivalent springs to simulate shear

and flexural responses of columns at the element level

Empirical and approximate Difficult to couple together the axial, shear,

and flexural responses Numerical instability in the adopted

hysteretic models may induce convergence problem
