报告内容:Seismic protective devices, such as isolation and energy dissipation devices, have demonstrated great promise for seismic hazard mitigation of highway bridges. Their application has been slowed by two major challenges: (1) a comprehensive evaluation is required to assess the seismic performance of highway bridges that are equipped with protective devices, including consideration of the uncertainties inherent in ground motions and damage states of multiple critical components (e.g. columns and isolation bearings); (2) an effective design procedure that is able to consider nonlinearities in structures and protective devices, a wide choice of mechanical parameters for isolation devices, and conflicting responses of isolation bearings and piers is required to achieve the optimal design parameters of the protective devices. This presentation will summarize the research developments to facilitate the performance-based design and optimization of seismic protective devices. Through fragility functions, multi-objective optimization and the system-level performance index of repair cost ratio, a performance-based framework is developed to evaluate the effectiveness and optimal design of protective devices for seismic protection of bridges.
