“…Hewes and Priestley (2002) proposed a simplified analytical model to predict the lateral force-displacement relationship. Ou et al (2007) extended the approach to hybrid UPTSCs (with longitudinal mild steel across the segments' joints), and using a modified curvature to account for the effect of mild steel, they showed the accuracy of the method for hybrid UPTSCs. Palermo et al (2007) showed that a similar design procedure considering lumped plasticity models can be used to design and model hybrid bridge structures.…”

“…The concept of the analytical method was similar to previous studies (Hewes and Priestley 2002;Ou et al 2007;Pampanin et al 2001); however, the displacement at the column top was considered as the independent variable rather than the curvature at the base of column. Moreover, the plastic hinge length expression proposed by Hassanli et al (2017) was considered.…”

In this study the behavior of unbonded post-tensioned segmental columns (UPTSCs) was investigated and expressions were proposed to estimate their ductility and neutral axis (NA) depth at ultimate strength. An analytical method was first employed to predict the lateral force-displacement, and its accuracy was verified against experimental results of eight columns. Two stages of parametric study were then performed to investigate the effect of different parameters on the behavior of such columns, including concrete compressive strength, axial stress ratio, diameter and height of the column, axial stress level, duct size, stress ratio of the PT bars, and thickness and ultimate tensile strain of fiber reinforced polymer wraps. It was found that the column's aspect ratio and axial stress ratio were the most influential factors contributing to the ductility, and axial stress ratio and column diameter were the main factors contributing to the NA depth of self-centering columns. While at aspect ratios of less than ten, as the axial stress ratio increased, the ductility increased; at aspect ratios higher than ten, the ductility tended to decrease when the axial stress ratio increased. Using the results of parametric study, nonlinear multivariate regression analyses were performed and new expressions were developed to predict the ductility and NA depth of UPTSCs.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the design comparison of totally prefabricated bridge substructure system. Prefabricated bridge substructure systems are a relatively new and versatile alternative in substructure design that can offer numerous benefits. The system can reduce the work load at a construction site and can result in shorter construction periods. The prefabricated bridge substructures are designed by the methods of Korea Highway Bridge Code (KHBD) and load and resistance factor design (AASHTO-LRFD). For the design, the KHBD with DB-24 and DL-24 live loads is used. This study evaluates the design method of KHBD (2005) and AASHTO-LRFD (2007) for totally prefabricated bridge substructure systems. The computer program, reinforced concrete analysis in higher evaluation system technology was used for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures. A bonded tendon element is used based on the finite element method, and can represent the interaction between the tendon and concrete of a prestressed concrete member. A joint element is used in order to predict the inelastic behaviors of segmental joints. This study documents the design comparison of totally prefabricated bridge substructure and presents conclusions and design recommendations based on the analytical findings.

The shortcomings of segmentally assembled round‐end hollow‐section piers (SRHPs), such as weak segment joints and poor energy‐dissipation capacity, have limited their application in high‐intensity earthquake regions. Therefore, this article particularly focuses on the seismic performance of SRHPs. Three high‐speed railway bridges are designed, which are equipped with three different types of round‐end hollow‐section piers (RHPs): cast‐in situ RHP (CRHP), segmentally assembled RHP with energy‐dissipation bar (E‐SRHP), and segmentally assembled RHP with low‐yield point steel connection buckles (L‐SRHP). Subsequently, three nonlinear finite element models of the corresponding bridges were established and validated by quasi‐static test results. Furthermore, compared to CRHP, the seismic performance of E‐SRHP and L‐SRHP was evaluated from the perspectives of seismic fragility and life‐cycle seismic loss. Research results revealed that the seismic fragility performance of the bridge with L‐SRHP is the best among all three bridges, followed by the bridge with E‐SRHP. Notably, the life‐cycle cost considering seismic loss for E‐SRHP is 83% of that for CRHP, whereas L‐SRHP is only 65% of that for CRHP. In general, the high‐speed railway bridge supported by L‐SRHP possesses the best seismic performance and economic benefits among the three bridges, which shows promising application prospects in high‐intensity earthquake‐prone regions.
