Structural Assessment of Historical Stone Bridges with the Finite Element Method under Dynamic Effects of Arch Shape: The Antik Iscehisar Bridge
Source abstract
Abstract
In this study, the effect of the variation of the arch form in thickness and height on the bridge was investigated as a numerical analysis. For this purpose, the historic Antik Iscehisar Bridge located in the Iscehisar district of Afyonkarahisar in the Aegean Region was elected as a numerical application. The bridge was subjected to its own weight and moving load as a static analysis. For dynamic analysis, the effect of 10 different fault movements with historical character obtained from The Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) on the bridge was investigated. The areas of principal stress and deformation resulting from the applied analyses were determined. Contour diagrams, tables, and charts were given in a comparative manner based on the results of the analysis applied to the bridge. At the end of the analysis, it was observed that the displacements decreased as the arch thickness increased under its own weight in the bridge. In addition, under the influence of live loads and earthquakes, it was observed that the displacements decrease as the arch thickness increases. A seismic reliability assessment was made using the performance criteria provided in this study. If the security level is below what it should be, reinforcement applications can be designed. Accordingly, future maintenance and monitoring planning can be made.
