Shaking table tests of a resilient bridge system with precast reinforced concrete columns equipped with springs

Abstract: This paper presents the shake table test results of a novel system for the design of precast reinforced concrete bridges. The specimen comprises a slab and four precast columns. The connections are dry and the columns are connected to the slab by an ungrouted tendon. One of the tendon ends is anchored above the slab, in series with a stack of washer springs, while the other end is anchored at the bottom of the column. The addition of such a flexible restraining system increases the stability of the system, whi… Show more

“…The concept of statistical validation using the CDF plots has been applied to modelling of rocking structures that showed predictable rocking responses in the statistical sense. [30][31][32][35][36][37][38] Figure 5 presents the CDF plots used for the statistical comparison in this section. The numerical and experimental CDF plots were compared based on the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) distance 39,40 (i.e., the maximum vertical distance between the experimental and numerical CDF plots) and the relative errors (𝜀, defined as the absolute error between the experimental and numerical values divided by the experimental value) at the maximum horizontal distance, as well as at median and 90 th percentile of the experimental CDF plots, as listed in Table 1, and within each plot of Figure 5.…”

“…Following the motion‐by‐motion comparison, the numerical and experimental results of the shaking table dataset were revisited with a focus on the statistical comparison of the Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) of key response parameters that were discussed previously. The concept of statistical validation using the CDF plots has been applied to modelling of rocking structures that showed predictable rocking responses in the statistical sense 30–32 , 35–38 . Figure 5 presents the CDF plots used for the statistical comparison in this section.…”

“…The systematic trend of the seismic response of rocking structures was found to emerge from the perspective of probability 28 . This conclusion was validated by numerical simulation and experimental results 30–32 . The dynamics of rocking structures experiencing complex motions and conditions were investigated from various directions, such as multiple rocking blocks, 33–36 sliding and take‐off motions, 37,38 and planar rocking frames with an eccentric top mass 39 .…”

“…The rocking oscillator is the one that can uplift from its base when subjected to sufficiently strong ground motion excitation (Figure 1). It is worth studying because it can describe a plethora of structures: First, since uplift works as a mechanical fuse, rocking can be used as a seismic design strategy for both bridges 1–24 and buildings 23,25–33 . Second, the out‐of‐plane response of masonry walls is a form of rocking motion 34–47 .…”
