An Investigation of the Effectiveness of Existing Bridge Design Methodology in Providing Adequate Structural Resistance to Seismic Disturbances. Phase III: Analytical Investigations of Seismic Response of Short, Single, or Multiple-Span Highway Bridges
Descriptions are given to the analytical investigations of the seismic response of short, single or multiple-span highway bridges of the type where soil-structure interaction effects are important. Six different mathematical model elements are incorporated into the computer program which possess the capability of performing linear or non-linear analyses. Finite element modeling is used for the backfill soils. Bridge deck, piers, and abutments are modeled using prismatic beam elements. A frictional element is used to model the discontinuous behavior at the interface of backfill soils and abutments. Discontinuous type expansion joint elements are also included.
