EQE 586- Non-linear Seismic Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Structures
COURSE NO AND TITLE : EQE 586- Non-linear Seismic Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Structures
INSTRUCTOR : Göktürk ÖNEM, Ph.D.
COURSE OBJECTIVES :
- Non-linear modeling and analysis approaches for bridge type of structures.
- Design principles
- Deformation based design concept
- Seismic isolation solutions for bridges
COURSE SYLLABUS : This course mainly aims at presenting on non-linear modelling and non-linear analysis methods of reinforced concrete bridge type structures for the purpose of understanding inelastic behavior under earthquake effect. Non-linear analysis methods will be explained with the emphasis on non-linear static analysis methods (Pushover). Deformation-based design approach and utilizing non-linear analysis within the framework of performance-based design principles will be summarized. Conceptual design principles of bridge type structures and code-based design approach (in AASHTO and Eurocode) will be presented. Seismic performance assessment of existing bridges will be summarized with computer-based numerical examples interactively.
