Seismic design aids for nonlinear pushover analysis of reinforced concrete and steel bridges
Ger, Jeffrey
Cheng, Franklin Y.
Nonlinear static monotonic (pushover) analysis has become a common practice for performance-based seismic bridge design. The popularity of pushover analysis is due to its ability to identify the failure modes and the design limit states of bridge piers and provide the progressive collapse sequence of damaged bridges when subjected to major earthquakes. Covering the simplest to the most sophisticated methods, this book includes step-by-step procedures for pushoveranalysis. The authors also provide a computer program, called INSTRUCT, that allows readers to perform their own analyses. INDICE: Overview of Seismic Design of Highway Bridges. Definition of Structural Model. Non-Linear Pushover Analysis Procedures. Input Data for Program INSTRUCT. Examples. References. Appendices.
