Painter Street Overcrossing: Linear-elastic finite element dynamic analysis
Painter Street Overcrossing is a two span continuous box girder bridge Highway 101 near Rio Del, California. It has been heavily instrumented with strong motion accelerometers by the California Department of Mines and Geology Strong Motion Instrumentation Program. On 11/21/86, the response of the bridge to a magnitude 5.1 earthquake (epicentral distance 32 km) was measured. This report considers the data generated at stations six, seven, and eight, during this earthquake. Station six recorded the vertical accelerations at the midpoint of the long span. Station seven recorded the transverse accelerations at the top of the bent. Station eight recorded the vertical accelerations at the midpoint of the short span. Typically, seismic analysis is done with the aid of a linear-elastic finite element code. Damping is assumed to be viscous. This report summarizes the results of such an analysis using the commercial P.C. based program SAP90. This analysis conforms as closely as possible to a ''typical'' seismic analysis. It is intended to be used as basis for comparison against a non-linear analysis to be done using NIKE3D. This report contains detailed information about the models used to represent the bridge. The results of each analysis and discussions of the results are included. 2 refs., 37 figs.
