    EARTHQUAKE ANALYSIS WITH SAP2000

    EARTHQUAKE ANALYSIS EXAMPLE

    The earthquake analysis capabilities of SAP2000 are demonstrated


    using a railroad bridge bent designed in accordance with the AREMA
    Manual for Railway Engineering.

    EARTHQUAKE ANALYSIS WITH SAP2000

    Prepare finite element model


    ƒ Column properties:

    5’ diameter
    Assume Ie = 0.35 Ig
    Use Ie = 10 Ig for stiffness in joint areas

    ƒ Bent cap properties:

    6.5’ wide x 6’ deep


    Assume Ie = 0.75 Ig
    Use Ie = 10 Ig for stiffness in joint areas

    ƒ Dead loads:

    Superstructure load = 2418 kips/61.2 ft = 39.5 kips/ft

    3. Verification computations

    a. Verify: dead load reaction = total weight

    ⎛ π (5)2 ⎞
    Weight = 0.15⎜⎜ × 14.7 × 4 + 6.5 × 6 × 64 ⎟⎟ + 2418 = 2965.6 kips
    ⎝ 4 ⎠
    Dead load reaction = 834.1 + 684.5 + 705.1 + 741.2 = 2964.9 kips

    b. Verify: total mass = total dead load / gravity

    Mass = 92.1 (Export joint masses to Excel and sum)


    Weight / Gravity = 2964.9 / 32.2 = 92.1

    c. Verify: modal participating mass ratio > 90%

    Ratio = 97% for mode 1

    EARTHQUAKE ANALYSIS WITH SAP2000

    d. Verify: response spectra base shear = response x weight

    Base shear = 481 + 532 + 532 + 481 = 2026 kips


    Response for period = 0.247 sec = 0.7 G
    0.7 x (2965 – 173 / 2) = 2015 kips (within 1%)

    W
    e. Verify: structure period T = 2π
    gK
    K = 40 kips / 0.0006 ft = 66667 k/ft (from unit load case)
    T = 2 x 3.1416 x [2965 / (32.2 x 66667)]1/2 = 0.23 sec
    (within 6% of SAP2000 analysis)
