DYNAMIC RESPONSE BEHAVIOR OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE VIADUCT UNDER SEVERE EARTHQUAKE

In order to clarify inelastic behavior of prestressed concrete (PC) girders of a viaduct under severe earthquakes, four small scale PC specimens were designed to represent experimental parts of models for viaduct structures. Three specimens were tested under statically reversed loading. The last viaduct model was tested using a substructured pseudo-dynamic test and then a cyclic loading was applied to the same specimen until failure. The inelastic response analysis based on one component model for the analytical modeling of members was conducted during the substructure pseudo-dynamic test. Response analyses for the same viaduct model were performed.
