Presenter
Presentation Notes
California is expecting to experience several moderate size earthquakes per decade. According to the USGS, the San Francisco Bay area alone has a 62% probability of experiencing a Magnitude 6.7 or greater earthquake by the year 2032. These earthquakes can cause disruptions to the road network and result in important economic losses as a result of the impact. Despite this fact, the Office of Structures Maintenance and Investigation at Caltrans does not have a standard procedure or a training program for the assessment of damage and the determination of the remaining load capacity of earthquake damage reinforced concrete (RC) bridge elements. In order to create a standard procedure and training program, Caltrans has supported a research program that has developed a number of inspection and assessment tools: a “Visual Catalog of RC Bridge Damage”, a “Capacity Assessment Training Manual”, and a “Post Earthquake Inspection Manual for Reinforced Concrete Bridge Columns”. In addition to these manuals, an online computer based training class has been developed to easily communicate this information to Caltrans Maintenance and Inspection Engineers.

The same crack width for flexural and shear behavior doesn’t correspond to same remaining capacity. Figure 36 shows performance level IV of a shear column (a) and flexural column (b). The level of damage seems to be larger for the flexural column but in reality the shear column may not be repairable, and is much closer to failure.

Bridge columns designed prior to 1971’s that show flexural damage have much less reserved capacity than a column designed after 1971. This slide shows the performance level IV of a flexural column with Post 1971 details (right) and Pre 1971 details (left). While the damage is similar, the pre 1971 column is typically characterized by a strength degrading performance curve and has much less reserve capacity.
