Assessment of Postearthquake Losses in a Network of Aging Bridges

AbstractThe current study approaches the issue of deteriorating civil infrastructure components in a systematic manner through microscale, mesoscale, and macroscale investigations. At the microscale, the integrity of individual network components is examined considering the extent of deterioration due to aggressive environmental conditions and climatic effects. For this purpose, the deterioration of structural members is evaluated through a detailed finite-element framework and the corresponding structural models are updated at regular time intervals to capture the effects of aging mechanisms. To quantify the vulnerability of deteriorating components subjected to earthquake events, a series of nonlinear time-history analyses are performed and time-dependent seismic fragility curves are generated. Based on the state of damage in the network components under a set of scenario earthquakes, appropriate damage indexes are introduced to measure the postevent functionality of the network at the mesoscale.
