ASSESSMENT OF BRIDGE:
ROLL NO. : CCCEE12/2018-19
NAME: MUHAMMAD BABAR

PROBLEM STATEMENT:

Use JB Mander method to draw fragility curve. A concrete bridge built in 1991, and is located on very
dense soil and soft rock (site class C)

Bridge Name Skew No of Type of SPAN TYPE PGA

spans pier (g)

Moosa Colony 35 8, each Wall Pier Box-Girder, Simply 0.20

Bridge degrees 25m Supported
Step no.1 & 2

 Finding Median Spectral Acceleration from Table 4.5.

 The bridge is located outside California, and was constructed in 1991.
 The Data given in Example
 There are 4 damage states for which Median Spectral Acceleration at 1 second are:
o a2= 0.54g, a3= 0.88g, a4= 1.22g, a5= 1.45g

Step no.3

 Calculate Scaling Parameters for Kskew, Kshape and K3D

 𝑲𝑠𝑘𝑒𝑤=√cos∝
  𝑲𝒔𝒌𝒆𝒘=√cos35 =
𝟎.𝟗𝟎𝟓
 For K3D use table 4.6
 K3D = 1+ 0.33/Np
 K3D = 1 + 0.33/7
 K3D = 1.047
 KShape= 1 (For Long
Period 1s)

Step no.4 Scaling Relations for Damage State 2

 For slight damage, the median fragility curve parameter is given by the following equation:
o A2 = Kshape a2/S
o S is the soil amplification factor given in table 4.1 & 4.2
o The Values for Ss and S1 for the described location of the bridge are extracted from
Research Paper named “Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis Based Zoning Map of
Pakistan” by Muhammad Ahmed, Sarosh Hashmat Lodi & Muhammad Masood Rafi

Ss = Mapped 5% damped, spectral response acceleration

parameter at short periods (0.2 sec)
S1 = Mapped 5% damped spectral response acceleration
parameter at a period of 1 sec.
o Hence:
 Ss= 0.6g ( For return period of 1000 Years)
 S1= 0.2g (For return period of 1000 Years)
o For Long Period, S = Fv = 1.6 (Table 4.2)
 o A2 = KShape x a2/S
o A2= 1×0.54/1.6
o A2 = 0.3375

Step no.5 Scaling Relations for Damage State 3, 4 & 5

 A3= (Kskew x K3D x a3)/𝑆

 A3= (0.905 x 1.047 x 0.88)/1.6
 A3= 0.52
 A4= (Kskew x K3D x a4)/𝑆
 A4= (0.905 x 1.047 x 1.22)/1.6
 A4= 0.722
 A5= (Kskew x K3D x a5)/𝑆
 A5= (0.905 x 1.047 x 1.45)/1.6
 A5= 0.858
