1 Description of the Structure
The three bridge span with skew in consideration was taken from the new LRFD procedures
document draft developed by (Constantinou et al. 2010). The bridge was first studied by
(Berger/Abam Engineers 1996) as an example of bridge design without isolation system. The
bridge is a continuous, three-span, cast-in-place concrete box girder structure with a 30-degree
skew. The two intermediate bents consist of two round columns with a cross beam on top. The
geometry of the bridge, section properties and foundation properties are assumed to be the same
in the original bridge in the (Constantinou et al. 2010) example. Figure 1.1, Figure 1.2, and
Figure 1.3, show plan and elevation drawings of the bridge, sections at abutment, and cross
section at intermediate bent, respectively.
2
The bridge is isolated with two isolators at each pier and abutment for a total of 8 isolators as
shown in Figure 1.4. As discussed by (Constantinou et al. 2007) the isolation system with
elastomeric bearings used at the abutments and lead rubber bearings placed at each pier location
intend to minimize the transferring of shear force to the abutment. Use of lead-rubber bearings at
both the pier and abutments locations might result in smaller displacement demand but larger
shear force.

The cross sectional properties and weights and foundations spring constants used to model the
bridge structure in SAP2000 are shown in Table 1.1 and Table 2.1, respectively. The bridge is
modeled as depicted in Figure 1.4.

2 Loading Conditions
Typically, a bridge structure is subjected to Dead, Live, Brake, Wind and Seismic loads. The first
section of this chapter will address the service loading conditions expected to occur during the
effective life cycle of the bridge. The second section will present the seismic loading conditions
presents on the bridge location. As the bridge is located in California this study make emphasis
on the earthquake evaluation since seismic loading is probably the most critical hazard that will
affect the structure. Figure 2.1 shows a Google Map with the exact location of the bridge. Note
the fault system running pretty close to the bridge site.

2.1 Service Loading Conditions
Bearing Loads and Rotations due to Dead, Live, Brake and Wind Loads and Bearing Loads,
Displacements and Rotations for Service Conditions of the Bridge Model are shown in Table 2.1
and Table 2.2. These values were obtained directly from (M. C. Constantinou et al. 2010),
without any further verification. Herein, it is assumed that those values were calculated with
reasonable accuracy so that recalculation was not necessary.

2.2 Seismic Loading conditions
The Design Response Spectrum shown in Figure 2.2 for this site was obtained from the
CALTRAN website http://dap3.dot.ca.gov/shake_stable/index.php specifying a latitude
38.079857o, longitude -122.232513o and shear wave velocity (VS30) equal to 400m/sec. The
response spectrum for the site is the greatest among the spectra calculated for the site, which for
this location the one was given at the Caltrans website.

Scaling of ground motion records is a necessary element of nonlinear dynamic analysis, since
few, if any, available un-scaled records are strong enough to represent the events considered.
Important in the scaling process is the normalization of records. The seed ground motion
records are normalized by some rational procedure to remove record-to-record variability due to
differences in magnitude of event, in distance to source and in soil conditions. However,
inherent variability is maintained. Table 2.3 presents selected ground motions for the following
analysis. As we can see this ground motions were selected based on the intensity value rather
than for a particular location.

This procedure results in good matching of the target spectra. Procedure is applied in the
following two steps. First scale each motion J (J=1 to 7) in amplitude only by factor FJ in order
to minimize the error between scaled motion spectrum and target DE spectrum. Define the error
as
4 2
EJ = wi SDE (Ti ) FJ SFN (Ti )SFP (Ti )
i =1
That is, the error is the weighted sum of the square of the difference between the target DE
spectra acceleration and the geometric mean spectral acceleration of the scaled motion at four
periods. The periods and weight factors are given in Table 2.4.
8
Table 2.4 Periods and Weights factors
Then, construct the average SRSS spectrum of the seven motions as scaled in step 1. Compare
this average SRSS spectrum to 1.3 times the DE spectrum in the range of periods 0.5Teff to
1.25Teff. The average SRSS spectrum should not be less than 90% of 1.3 times the DE spectrum
in the period range of interest. To meet this criterion, determine a scale factor F1 that applies to
all motions as scaled in first step. The final scale factor for each motion is the product FJ F1 .
A MATLAB program was written for the scaling of motions using the method described above.
Program will perform the scaling for DBE and MCE. Program will perform the following tasks:
Given seven motions are scaled using the program. The scale factors for the seven motions are
shown in Table 2.5. Program is attached in Appendix F.

While scaled motion meets the criteria of ASCE 7-05, they need to be consistent with the
definition of the MCE or DBE Spectrum. The spectrum for scaled motion is defined as the
geometric mean of the two components in the two orthogonal directions FP and FN. The average
of the geometric mean spectra of the seven motions indicates that the scaled motions do not
properly represent the spectrum. A further increase of the scale factor of each motion by factor
1.2 is needed to properly represent the target spectrum. Figure 2.4 shows the final result after
multiplying the ground motions by the factor previously discussed.

The response spectrum from CALTRAN and the previously described ground motions were used
to perform Single mode analysis, Multimode Response Spectrum analysis and nonlinear time
history analysis. Those procedures are discussed in details in the next sections.
11
3 Single Mode Analysis and Design
Single mode analysis is perfectly suitable for this bridge as pointed out by (Constantinou et al.
2010). This method take advantage of the fact that for an isolated structure, the displacements are
concentrated at the isolation level, and therefore, the superstructure moves almost as a rigid body
(Christopoulos and Filiatrault 2006). Moreover, this simplified analysis provides useful basic
reference parameters that can be used to perform more sophisticated studies such as multimodal
response spectrum analysis, nonlinear time history analysis and Incremental Dynamic Analysis.
Detailed calculations of this procedure can be found on Appendix A. Drawings of the bearing
are shown in Figure 3.1 and Figure 3.2. The bearings are safe for a seismic displacement of 12
and service displacement equal to 1.
Table 3.1 presents a summary of the calculated displacement and force demands, the effective
properties of the isolated structure and the effective properties of each type of bearing. As
mentioned before, these properties are useful in response spectrum and time history analysis.
LRFD adequacy assessment of the critical bearing can be found in Appendix A. Note that the
bearing plates were not designed in this study.

4 Multimode Response Spectrum Analysis
A multimode response spectrum analysis was carried out in SAP2000 to estimate the peak
demands on the bearings. Figure 4.1 shows the 3D model of the structure used and the modelling
of the lead rubber and elastomeric bearing as equivalent beams. As mentioned before, loads and
masses were taken directly from previous studies.

Response Spectrum analysis was performed in two independents directions and then combined
using the 100%+30% rules. Also, an approximate Vertical Response Spectrum was considered in
the analysis and combined with the previous case. A 100%+30%+30% rule was used in this case.
The Response Spectrum implemented in SAP2000 was modified by dividing the spectral
accelerations over B for periods larger than 0.8Teff. Figure 4.2 shows the modified spectrum for
lower bound analysis applied in the software.

Figure 4.4 depicts three first modes of bridge vibrations with its corresponding periods for lower
bound analysis. As noted, the period is closely reproduced in the modal response history analysis
as were the displacements and the axial forces.

5 Dynamic Response History Analysis
Seven scaled ground motions were used to perform Nonlinear Response History Analysis.
Isolators were modeled using the Lead Rubber Element available in SAP2000. Mechanical
properties used are shown in Table 5.1 and detailed calculations can be found in Appendix A.
Basically, Sap2000 assume a Bilinear Hysteretic model for the Isolator in both, x and y
directions. The vertical DOF U1 remains elastic whereas the DOF U2 and U3 behave
nonlinearly.
19
Figure 5.1 describes the idealized nonlinear behavior of the Lead Rubber/Elastomeric Bearing
and Figure 5.2 shows the required input data for SAP2000.

Table 5.2 show key parameters obtained for Nonlinear Response History analysis for lower
bound analysis. An average maximum displacement equal to 16.5 was obtained. Nevertheless,
the bearing has been designed to sustain a maximum displacement of 18 as demonstrated on
appendix B. Therefore, the design was considered acceptable.

6 Preliminary Collapse Assessment
In this chapter, two buckling collapse fragility curves for the Isolation System will be developed
by applying the guidelines specified by the ATC-63 document. The main goal is to estimate the
probability of buckling collapse of one and two abutment bearings given a spectral acceleration
and define a preliminary Collapse Margin Ratio (CMR) for the system.
The first section includes a brief description of the collapse on lead/Elastomeric bearings due to
buckling and the collapse criterion implemented. Then, the RUAUMOKO (Carr 2004) analytical
model used to perform an Incremental Dynamic Analysis (Vamvatsikos and Cornell 2002) and
the corresponding ATC-63 ground motion set will be described. Finally, two collapse fragility
curves of the system and a preliminary collapse margin ratio will be presented. Detailed
information about the procedure is not included in this summary report but is extensively
discussed in the FEMA P645 document.
In this study, collapse of the bearing was defined by the axial load (P) vs. displacement (Dr)
curve shown in Figure 6.1. This P-Dr curve was calculated for an abutment bearing using lower
bound properties. Detailed calculation can be found in appendix A. A collapse criterion was
assumed as follows:
The Axial load and relative displacement of one/two bearing was obtained for each time
history record for a given intensity spectral acceleration and ground motion
Using the MATLAB code provided in appendix B, the point (P, Dr) was plotted as shown
in Figure 6.1 and collapse was investigated.
If the point (P,Dr) fall out the region, then the bearing has collapsed
Otherwise, the bearing was considered safe.
Note that the fact that one bearing has collapsed, it cannot be interpreted as a complete failure of
the isolation system. More failure combinations need to be investigated as depicted in Figure 6.2.
Therefore, a second collapse case was considered. Failure of the bridge isolation system might be
defined if two parallel abutment bearing collapse for a given intensity spectral acceleration and
ground motion. Other possible combination might be two longitudinal abutment bearings and
22
two longitudinal pier bearings collapsing simultaneously. However, the later case was out of the
scope of this project and was not investigated.

6.2 RUAUMOKO Model and Ground Motion Set
Because about 400 nonlinear response simulations were needed to develop the fragility curve,
SAP2000 software was not considered. As shown in Figure 6.3, an analytical 3D model of the
bridge in consideration was developed in RUAUMOKO 3D software. Appendix C includes the
input file of the bridge. To investigate the accuracy of the model, the hysteretic behavior of the
pier and abutment bearings was compared to those obtained with SAP2000 lead- rubber element.
Figure 6.4show that RUAUMOKO and SAP2000 models are equivalent.

DISPLACEMENT (mm)
As defined by FEMA P695 collapse fragility curves characterize the probability of collapse
given a specific ground motion intensity parameter. Figure 6.5 and Figure 6.6 shows the collapse
probability curve obtained trough Nonlinear IDA in RUAUMOKO. Observe that for a spectral
acceleration of 0.343 g the probability of collapse of one abutment bearing is 50%. It is
important to point out, that the fragility curves for both cases are almost the same, indicating that
the abutment bearings experiences collapse simultaneously. As expected, the record to record
uncertainty is about 0.40 in both cases. Moreover, the estimated collapse margin ratio is equal to
1.20. Note that no other sources of uncertainties were included in this calculation. Therefore, the
CMR cannot be compared with the FEMAP695 acceptance criteria.
25
As usual, a lognormal distribution was used to fit the numerical data obtained with IDA.

7 Conclusions and future work
7.1 Conclusions
A bridge Isolation system was designed, analyzed and evaluated using different analysis
techniques. A single mode analysis was used to carry out a preliminary design and detailed
calculations for lower and upper bound isolator properties. Then, the design was verified trough
multimode dynamic analysis. Excellent agreement was found for all the considered cases. To
further verify the results, nonlinear response history analysis was implemented in SAP2000
software. Results show that the preliminary design is acceptable.
Finally, the isolation system was assessed following the FEMAP695 guidelines to evaluate
collapse in structures. A criterion collapse was proposed and nonlinear IDA was carried out in
RUAUMOKO Software. A collapse fragility function was constructed by fitting the data with a
lognormal distribution. The preliminary collapse margin indicates a satisfactory performance of
the base isolation system.
The fragility functions could be computed for different conditions of collapse as briefly
discussed in Figure 6.2.
The collapse criterion could be modified to account for shear failure in the bearing.
Potential for uplift in the bearings should be included and properly investigated
A more sophisticated analytical model of the substructure could be implemented to
account for rocking behavior.
A complete assessment could be performed following the FEMAP695 methodology for
Isolated Buildings.
