| Abstract: |
This study chooses the typical configuration of the single-column RC bridge in Bangkok with three different column heights such as 4,5 meter, 6,3 meter, and 15 meter to be the case studies for bridge with short, medium, and tall column height, respectively. The damage states of the studied bridges were evaluated which considered shear failure. Three artificial ground motions generated corresponding to the design spectrum for the inner area of Bangkok were applied to the analytical model of the studied bridges to perform the IDA. The results were found that, when the shear failure was considered together with the flexural failure, the studied bridges collapse as brittle, semi-ductile, and ductile for the bridge with short, medium, and tall column height, respectively. In other words, without consideration of shear failure lead to over capacity of the bridge with short and medium column height. |
