Finite element reliability analysis of bridge girders considering moment–shear interaction
AbstractReliability analysis is necessary in bridge design to determine which parameters have the most significant influence on the structural response to applied loadings. To support finite element reliability applications, analytical response sensitivities are derived with respect to uncertain material properties, girder dimensions, reinforcing details, and moving loads by the direct differentiation method (DDM). The resulting expressions have been implemented in the general finite element framework OpenSees which is well suited to the moving load analysis of bridges. Numerical examples verify the DDM response sensitivity equations are correct, then a first-order reliability analysis shows the effect uncertain parameters have on the interaction of negative moment and shear force near the supports of a continuous reinforced concrete bridge girder. A unique contribution is the treatment of moment–shear interaction using Lamé curves with foci calculated from MCFT equations. In addition, the analysis demonstrates non-seismic bridge engineering applications that have been developed in the OpenSees framework.
