Dynamic Behavior of an Isolated Bridge Pier under Earthquake Effects for Different Soil layers and Support Conditions

An isolated bridge pier having rubber bearings is modeled by finite element technique and dynamic responses under effects of earthquake accelerations are obtained by linear solution methods in time and frequency domain; the results are evaluated by probabilistic distributions. For this purpose, stationary accelerations characterized by Kanai-Tajimi power spectrum are simulated for different soil types and twenty nonstationary records in each soil group are obtained by modulating the amplitudes in harmony with Erzincan NS 1992 component. The pier responses and deck displacements are obtained in time domain for different support and soil conditions by using simulated horizontal and vertical accelerations. Furthermore, variances of the responses are obtained in frequency domain by assuming stationary stochastic behavior and by using power density and cross-power spectra of the applied simultaneous motions. The results are evaluated by those of the time domain solutions and peak responses and variations of peak response factors are determined. For dynamic peak responses, the response quantities corresponding to exceedance probabilities of 2%, 10% and 50% (median) are predicted depending upon soil types by use Rayleigh distribution model
