Applicability of Equal Energy Assumption to the Out-of-Plane Response of Steel Arch Bridges

Year: 2004

Type: article

Abstract: Static pushover analysis, linear and non-linear dynamic response analyses were carried out for six steel arch bridge models having different Arch Rise/Span Length ratios or arch rib distances. Based on the results of these analyses, the applicability of equal energy assumption in out-of-plane direction was examined. Although safety side estimation was achieved by the assumption, the results were too conservative in many cases. For the applicability of the assumption some tendencies were found and correction functions were established to improve the accuracy based on these tendencies.
