SEISMIC DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
-
8/12/2019 General and Seismic Provisions
91/143
It is not economically practical to proportion bridge members so that they will remainundamaged after a severe earthquake, but a failure that leads to collapse of the
structure must not be allowed to occur. For this reason it is essential to design bridgestructures with sufficient ductility to dissipate the energy of earthquake motions withoutreducing the strength of the bridge to the point of collapse.
The basic philosophy in seismic design of bridges is to design a bridge to resist smallto moderate earthquakes in the elastic range without significant damage. In the event ofa large earthquake, bridges and their components may suffer damage but should notcause collapse of all or any part of the bridge. Where possible, the damages that doesoccur should be readily detectable and accessible for inspection and repair.
The bridge should be designed so as to be usable by emergency traffic after simple and
very rapid repairs and should be capable of permanent repair to an acceptable level forboth vehicular and seismic loading.
Essential bridges are required to function during and immediately after an earthquakeand must meet additional requirements. These are bridges designated as essential onthe basis of criteria such as social/survival and security / defense.
Definition for importance of a bridge structure is subjective influenced by factors

8/12/2019 General and Seismic Provisions

such as: ADT, available detour, use for emergency vehicles, replacement cost, andthe nature and importance of the route being crossed by the bridge.
DESIGN APPROACH
The analytic approach in seismic design of bridges includes the determination ofthe member forces from an elastic design response spectrum coefficient.The design forces for each bridge component are then obtained by dividing the
elastic forces by a Response Modification Factor (R). Well confined, ductilecolumns are designed for lower-than-expected forces obtained from the analysis.Columns joints are designed and detailed to deform in a plastic manner when theseismic forces exceeds the lower design forces. This approach is completelydifferent than the procedures used in the earlier AASHTO Standard Specifications.
Design displacements are considered as important because of many loss-of-spantype failures in the past earthquakes attributed in part to relative displacementeffects. Thus minimum support lengths at abutments, piers and hinge seats arespecified to prevent this type of failure.
Anchors and connections are important elements in maintaining the overall integrityf b id Th f bl i d i f ifi d

of a bridge structure. Therefore reasonably conservative design forces are specifieduse in their design. An additional requirement to prevent significant relativedisplacement is to provide horizontal linkages between adjacent sections of the
superstructures using cables or an equivalent mechanism. Deck continuity can alsobe utilized to provide for continuity.
Current design and analysis of bridges to resist earthquakes now include:
+ Force level defined as seismic design spectra+ Abutment stiffness effects are considered
+ The effects of ductility are considered
+ Modal dynamic elastic analysis is used as a routine design tool
+ Introduction of continuity to mobilize the maximum number of bridge components
+ Consideration of soil-structure interaction effects.

DEPARTMENT ORDER NO. 75, Series of 1992SUBJECT : DPWH Advisory for Seismic Design of BridgesJuly 17, 1992
The threat of earthquakes occurring in the Philippines can no longer bediscounted. Past and recent events have shown devastating effects ofearthquakes not only on buildings but also on highways and bridges. In
addition to the loss of lives, the recent Cabanatuan and Baguioearthquakes caused the closure of many highways and the collapse ofmany bridges which are designed based on older AASHTO StandardSpecifications resulting in millions of pesos in repair and/or replacements.

In modern seismic design of bridges, the basic design philosophy is for thebridge to resist small to moderate earthquakes in the elastic range withoutsignificant damage. In case of large earthquakes, a bridge may suffer damagebut this should not cause collapse of all or any of its parts and such damageshould readily be detectable and accessible for inspection and repair.
Therefore, to mitigate, if not prevent damage/s to bridges due to earthquakes,and for the guidance of engineering professionals and DPWH engineersparticularly those undertaking the design of bridges, the DPWH is issuing thisADVISORY :
1. As a minimum requirement, the design of bridges shall conform with
the current AASHTO Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges, 14thEdition, and the Guide Specifications for Seismic Design (1989 or latestedition) or the 1991 AASHTO Standard Specifications adopting the GuideSpecifications for Seismic Design (AASHTO Interim Specifications - Bridges)

2. Design Concept to be adopted shall be as follows :
a) Continuous bridges with monolithic multi-column bents have highdegree of redundancy and are the preferred type of bridge structureto resist seismic shaking. Deck discontinuities such as expansion joints
and hinges should be kept to an absolute minimum . Suspended spans,brackets, rollers, etc are not recommended.
b) Where multi-span simple span bridges are justified, decks should becontinuous.
c) Restrainers (horizontal linkage between adjacent span) are required at
all joints in accordance with the AASHTO Guide Specifications forSeismic Design and generous seat widths at piers and abutmentsshould be provided to prevent loss-of-span failures.

successful performance of reinforced concrete columns duringearthquqkes. Transverse reinforcement serves to confine the mainlongitudinal reinforcement and the concrete within the core of the
column, thus preventing buckling of the main reinforcements.e) Plastic hinging should be forced to occur in ductile column regions of
the pier rather than in the foundation unit. A scheme to protect theabutment piles from failure is often accomplished by designing thebackwall to shear-off when subjected to the design seismic lateral
force that would otherwise fail the abutment piles.f) The stiffness of the bridge as a whole should be considered in the analysis.
In irregular structures, it is particularly important to include the soil-structure interaction.
This Advisory amends the existing DPWH Guidelines on the SeismicDesign of Bridges and shall take effect immediately.

& Retrofitting TechniquesI. Continuity & Restrainers
Deficiencies with respect to continuity often result in totalloss of support and falling of a span
Bridges having deficiencies include:
Simply-supported spans on sliding bearings withinadequate seat width
Continuous spans with sliding supports within the span
Pinned or fixed bearings with very low lateral orlongitudinal load capacity
Sliding supports that have to be guided in the slidingdirection. Guides may be unable to resist transverseload or structure can jump out of guides that are toosmall

II. Bearings
Usually a loss-of-support failure results in thecollapse of the span and is considered to beunacceptable while less drastic failures may beconsidered as possibly acceptable
The most common modern bearing is theelastomeric bearing pad consisting of steel platesin layers alternating with rubber or anotherelastomer

III. Columns and Piers
Key considerations for column & piers:
For bridges designed to most codes,columns will almost always be expected toyield during strong seismic shaking.Sudden loss of flexural or shear strengththat result in structural collapse must beavoided. In the case of existing bridges,such conditions must be corrected.
All possible modes of column failure mustbe assessed in terms of their effects on theglobal stability of the structure.

Common column & pier deficiencies:
Inadequate development of vertical steel due to inadequatelap splice between vertical bars and dowels.
Splicing of column bars and dowels at column sectionswhere the development of plastic moments are required,thus limiting the length of hinging.
Insufficient amount of transverse reinforcement resulting inpoor confinement of the concrete core and insufficient shearstrength to permit the development of flexural hinging inthe column.
Poor detailing of confinement reinforcement, including largespacing of transverse & longitudinal bars, inadequate endanchorage of transverse reinforcement, and lack ofsufficient supplementary core ties in larger rectangularcolumn sections.
Insufficient flexural strength and ductility.

Steel Jackets for Columns & Piers
An effective solution to column failure problems is pre-fabricatedsteel jackets to provide passive confinement
Characteristics of column jacketing are: Prefabricated steel jacket is usually circular or elliptical in shape
and annular space is grouted. A short gap at the end(s) isprovided to avoid crushing failure.Decreases tendency for buckling of the column longitudinal bars.Improves column ductility.Increases shear resistance of columnFull height or partial height jackets may be utilized asappropriate.
Caution : Improperly detailed jacketing scheme may force flexural orshear failure into foundations or cap beam creatingunfavourable failure mode.
