  3. Outline • Skew bridges & project goals • Modeling skew abutment response • Developing NLTH simulation models for skew bridges • Exploring and quantifying skew-bridge response • Discussion

  4. General Problem Performance assessment of skewed abutment bridges • Appropriate modeling of bridge superstructure. • Appropriate modeling of bridge abutment. • Selection of appropriate input ground motions.

  5. Previous Studies Straight Abutment: Aviram, Mackie, and Stojadinovic 2008 Johnson et al. (2009), Kotsoglou and Pantazopoulou (2010), Mackie and Stojadinovic (2007), Paraskeva et al. (2006) Skewed Abutment: Abdel-Mohti and Pekcan (2008) Meng and Lui (2000), Maragakis (1984), Wakefield et al. (1991), Ghobarah and Tso (1974)

  6. Ground Motions • Three sets of GMs were selected by the PEER Transportation Research Program • 40 GMs per set • Three types of GMs: Pulse-like, soil-site, and rock-site • Fault Normal: longitudinal direction; Fault parallel: transverse direction • The GMs are from mid- to large-magnitude • Near-source GMs • Selected GMs have a variety of spectral shapes, durations, and directivity periods Fault-Normal 3.0 3.0 3.0 3.0 3.0 3.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 Fault-Parallel 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 Soil-Site Pulse-Like Rock-Site 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 4.0 4.0 4.0 4.0 4.0 4.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
