Download or read book Dynamic Response of Infrastructure to Environmentally Induced Loads written by Anastasios G. Sextos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-29 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides state of the art coverage of important current issues in the analysis, measurement, and monitoring of the dynamic response of infrastructure to environmental loads, including those induced by earthquake motion and differential soil settlement. The coverage is in five parts that address numerical methods in structural dynamics, soil–structure interaction analysis, instrumentation and structural health monitoring, hybrid experimental mechanics, and structural health monitoring for bridges. Examples that give an impression of the scope of the topics discussed include the seismic analysis of bridges, soft computing in earthquake engineering, use of hybrid methods for soil–structure interaction analysis, effects of local site conditions on the inelastic dynamic analysis of bridges, embedded models in wireless sensor networks for structural health monitoring, recent developments in seismic simulation methods, and seismic performance assessment and retrofit of structures. Throughout, the emphasis is on the most significant recent advances and new material. The book comprises extended versions of contributions delivered at the DE-GRIE Lab Workshop 2014, held in Thessaloniki, Greece, in November 2014.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the sensitivity of the long-term in-situ dynamic response of bridges to changing structural parameters and environmental conditions, with a focus on cold and earthquake-prone regions. The interpretation of data from structural health monitoring in an adverse environment can be a significant challenge due to changes in the bridge dynamic response that are not associated with deterioration or damage. The effect of seasonal freezing on bridge dynamic response was assessed using dynamic monitoring data collected over a year from the bridge in Alaska. Modal frequencies in the transverse direction increased significantly, and the corresponding mode shapes changed due to seasonal freezing. Elastic finite element models of the bridge showed that these changes were controlled by the stiffness of the foundation soil and the bearings. Assessment of a range of bridge typologies derived from the original bridge showed that the fundamental transverse period was significantly reduced in winter across all bridge typologies. The mode shapes of the bridges with shorter piers and few spans change considerably in winter. Significant redistribution of the bending moments and shear demands along the pier columns and piles was found in freezing conditions. These findings reinforce the need to account for seasonal temperature fluctuation in bridge seismic design to prevent potential damage modes that may be accentuated during freezing temperatures. The effect of earthquake excitation and repair on the transverse dynamic response was assessed using a dataset collected over four years from an overpass in New Zealand. A gradual increase in the natural frequency was observed during repair works, followed by an abrupt drop in frequency after moderateintensity earthquake excitation. The normalized modal amplitudes of the superstructure remained relatively stable, suggesting that they are not a good indicator of the change in overpass response. The variation in overpass response was shown to be controlled by changes in foundation stiffness and the strengthening of the connection between girders and abutments. Strengthening of the piers, which were the most damaged structural elements, had minimal impact on the overpass dynamic parameters.

Download or read book Seismic Performance of Soil Foundation Structure Systems written by Nawawi Chouw and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-08-25 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seismic Performance of Soil-Foundation-Structure Systems presents invited papers presented at the international workshop (University of Auckland, New Zealand, 21-22 November 2016). This international workshop brought together outstanding work in earthquake engineering that embraces a holistic consideration of soilfoundation-structure systems. For example, the diversity of papers in this volume is represented by contributions from the fields of shallow foundation in liquefiable soil, spatially distributed lifelines, bridges, clustered structures (see photo on front cover), sea floor seismic motion, multi-axial ground excitation, deep foundations, soil-foundation-structurefluid interaction, liquefaction-induced settlement and uplift with SFSI. A fundamental knowledge gap is manifested by the isolated manner geotechnical and structural engineers work. A holistic consideration of soil-foundation-structures systems is only possible if civil engineers work collaboratively to the mutual benefit of all disciplines. Another gap occurs by the retarded application of up-to-date research findings in engineering design practices. Seismic Performance of Soil-Foundation-Structure Systems is the outcome from the recognized need to close this gap, since it has been observed that a considerable delay exists between published research findings and application of the principles revealed by the research. Seismic Performance of Soil-Foundation-Structure Systems will be helpful in developing more understanding of the complex nature of responses these systems present under strong earthquakes, and will assist engineers in closing the gaps identified above.
