Abstract

The aim of the project is to carry out a seismic evaluation case study for an existing RC bridge using nonlinear static (pushover) analysis and study the loads and load combination. An existing reinforced cement concrete T-beam bridge was evaluated using inelastic analysis procedures namely modal pushover procedure (MPA). MPA was performed in both the transverse and longitudinal directions of the bridge structure independently. The capacity curves that represent the response of the bridge in transverse and longitudinal directions for the particular modes of the vibration are generated using MPA. In present study a 20 span RC T Beam Bridge situated at SH-10 in Karnataka is taken as case study. The bridge is modeled in SAP 2000 software by defining FEMA 356 Auto hinges and conducted Nonlinear Static (Pushover) Analysis using ATC 40 Capacity Spectrum Method.
