Seismic Performance of Circular Concrete Bridge Piers Externally Strengthened by Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer

1. Introduction

Bridges are one of the most critical and important structures in the transportation systems that are constantly subjected to different kinds of loadings. At times of natural disasters, transportation systems must withstand the calamities in order to sustain transport connections and communication for better crisis management. One of the most commonly encountered and destructive natural calamities is earthquake, thus, the seismic performance of the bridges should be strictly observed, especially the seismic performance of existing bridges.

탄소섬유강화 플라스틱(CFRP)로 보강된 원형콘크리트 교각의 지진성능 평가

ABSTRACT

This paper evaluated the optimum Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) using a circular concrete bridge pier subjected to dynamic loading. A three-dimensional finite element model was simulated using finite element program, ABAQUS. Concrete Damage Plasticity (CDP) option and plastic properties of the materials were incorporated to model the non-linearity of the structure. The analyses parameters were changed in length-to-height ratio and width-to-span ratio where columns were subjected to dynamic loading.

Numerical analysis was conducted, and the seismic performance of the structures were evaluated by analyzing the ductility behavior of the structure. Results showed that the use of CFRP enhances the structural performance of column and revealed that the increase in length-to-height ratio plays vital role of improving the performance of the structure than the change in width-to-span ratio.

Structural Engineering

The majority of existing bridges were built based on old building codes and structural manuals. Old bridges constructed from old structural standards assumed less service loads, which made them vulnerable to structural damages resulting to possible poor performance during an earthquake. In addition to that, most of the existing bridges were made from reinforced concrete that are constantly exposed to hostile physical and chemical conditions.

This aggressive environment contributes to the progressive damage of reinforced concrete which made the structure susceptible to the fatigue behavior of concrete, exposing the reinforcing steel to rust and corrosion.

The minor damages in the concrete element such as cracks and spalling in column of the bridges affects the confinement of concrete to the structure, thus, leading to brittle failure of the column that could result into serious failure or worse, total collapse of the structure. The column of bridges is one of the main structural members of the bridge that resist lateral seismic forces and vertical forces, thus, the performance and reliability of the column is vital regarding the performance of the entire structural system. Therefore, in order to prevent the brittle failure, it is essential to enhance the ductility of the columns, thus, increasing the performance and reliability of existing bridges.

Ductility criteria of a concrete column member is a one of the most important parameters in evaluating the seismic performance of the structure. In order to increase this type of criteria, con- finement or external strengthening of concrete column structures could be provided in order to increase the ductility criteria.

Therefore, in this paper the seismic performance of the structure was evaluated using the calculated ductility. The progressive development of computer simulations was utilized using a finite element software, ABAQUS (2013), to numerically evaluate and observe the relationship of ductility of the structure with respect to length-to-height ratio and width-to-span ratio of CFRP.

2. Background of Related Literatures

2.1 Research and Development of Bridge Rehabilitation Techniques

Researchers and engineers have been interested in the continuous development of bridge rehabilitation techniques since the mid 1980’s. According to the study of Saadatmanesh et al. (1996), Özcan et al. (2008) Ye et al. (2003) and Rashid and Mansur (2005),

the problem with the columns constructed based on old codes faces poor detailing of starter bars and inadequate lateral reinfor- cement that leads to seismic performance deficiency. Forces induced by seismic loads that result into shear forces are mainly resisted by lateral reinforcement, if properly designed, buckling of the longitudinal bars and sudden loss of bond could be prevented. Therefore, existing columns with inadequate lateral reinforcement must be provided by external confinement to enhance the ductile behavior of the structure.

Many techniques have been implemented into the retrofit design process mainly based on experimental testing of scaled-down models of bridge structures. Previous researches, such as study of Priestley et al. (1984), Chai et al. (1991), and Sun et al. (1992) in University of California in San Diego have indicated that strengthening of columns by using steel jackets significantly improves the performance and ductility of a column. However, rehabilitation techniques that utilize steel and concrete, such as section enlargement of columns, confinement by concrete covers, and attachment of steel jackets are time consuming and difficult in execution of construction methodologies, therefore, considering the disadvantages of existing materials, a study for new material is necessary to develop new techniques.

Since then, researchers have conducted experimental tests to find an effective and economical alternative material for bridge rehabilitation. Priestley et al. (1992) presented the study of column seismic retrofit using Fiberglass/Epoxy, Yamasaki et al.

(1993) investigated the use of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) bars to retrofit concrete bridges, and Ehsani et al. (1993) analyzed the use of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars by circum- ferentially wrapping the columns around the plastic region. After years of study using FRP bars and straps as retrofit materials, Toutanji (1999) extended the study to FRP sheets and presented a structural model for the behavior of GFRP and CFRP confined concrete columns using large-scale samples in experiments. The researches presented that the use of FRP as a material for retrofit provided desirable results in increasing the performance of the structure.

The desirable properties of FRP make it to be an appropriate

substitute material for rehabilitation techniques of existing

bridges. FRP is superior to resist corrosion, good adhesion to

concrete, has high strength-to-weight ratio, capability of vibration

absorption, and moisture resistance. In addition to that, Guide for

the Design and Construction of Externally Bonded FRP Systems for Strengthening Concrete Structures (ACI, 2002), reported that FRP has thermal expansion coefficient of close to concrete and steel which made it to be a suitable material for externally strengthening reinforced concrete. Although FRP laminates, bars and straps are generally more expensive than concrete and steel, research of Katsumata et al. (1988) and Teng et al. (2002) revealed that the use of CFRP and GFRP is approximately 20 % less cost than steel considering construction methodology.

In the recent years, development of computers and various finite element software has progressed and provided accurate results. Numerous researchers had corresponded to experimental tests in the previous decades and conducted numerical experiments through finite element simulations. In 1999, Tedesco et al. (1999) assessed a FRP laminate-repaired bridge by finite element method, Wang and Restrepo (2001) reported that good agreement of results was observed between the numerical and analytical results using a short-term assessment of axial load-deformation of reinforced columns confined with GFRP and steel, Monti et al. (2001) and Pantelides and Gergely (2002) presented formulae for calculation of required FRP wrapping thicknesses and provided design and analysis techniques for seismic retrofit of concrete members by FRP.

Due to popularity and the increasing demand of research matter, more and more researches with parametric studies have been conducted to optimize the application of retrofit materials to bridge columns. Experimental and analytical parametric studies were made to establish relationship of column and retrofit materials. In 2013, Taghia and Bakar (2013) studied parametric studies and assessed the relationship of varying cross-section of reinforced short column and varying CFRP layers based on finite element analysis. Studies of varying reinforcing materials were also made. Pateriya et al. (2015) presented a numerical analysis of compressive strength of columns reinforced with varying materials using steel, GFRP and CFRP and Han et al. (2016) conducted experimental tests on reinforced concrete evaluating the performance between CFRP, steel plate and fiber steel composite plates (FSC). Varying shape of FRP reinforcement were also studied such as the study of Zeng et al. (2018) which investigated the behavior and three-dimensional finite element modeling of circular concrete columns partially wrapped with FRP strips.

2.2 Ductility Defined using Load-Displacement Curve Ductility of a concrete bridge column is an important design factor to consider in seismic performance of the structure. The ductility of the structure is critical in aspect of dissipation of seismic energy during earthquake, therefore, the reliability of existing bridges is enhanced by improving ductility.

In 1994, Jeong (1994) developed energy based method using load- displacement curve. This method defines the ductility of a structure using concept of energy by the relating any two of inelastic, elastic, and total energy as shown in the ductility indices on Fig. 1. In order to determine the slope that distinguishes elastic energy from inelastic energy, the slope, S, is calculated as:

where, slopes S

It is suggested by Grace et al. (1998) that the structure having an energy ratio of greater than 75 % is classified to be ductile, and semi-ductile behavior of energy ratio ranging from 70~74 %.

3. Finite Element Modeling

Finite element program ABAQUS was chosen to simulate the model. The software has wide variety of modelling capability and

has concrete damage plasticity (CDP) option that captures the real behavior of concrete. Rodríguez et al. (2013) recommended that the use of CDP model exhibits good behavior for concrete under monotonic, cyclic and dynamic loading.

The simulated structure was analyzed under three (3) model cases, the initial case, the change in height of CFRP (length- to-height ratio or wrapping height), and the change in thickness of CFRP (width-to-span ratio or relative wrapping thickness). In order to account for the effect of change in height of CFRP, the cross-section of the circular concrete bridge pier was constant and the thickness of the CFRP and set 2mm. In order to evaluate the effect of change in thickness of CFRP, the cross-section of the circular concrete bridge pier were to set to a fixed dimension and the height of the CFRP were set to height of ¼ of the column. Fig.

2 demonstrates the finite element model cases and Tables 1 and 2 show the corresponding nomenclature of ratio with respect to each case analysis.

The dimensions of the structure were taken from experimental specimens subjected to real life hydraulic actuator as shown in Fig. 3(a). In order to avoid creating unnecessary elements, the foundation of the structure was not modelled and changed into encased boundary condition to account for the footing. Fig. 3(b) shows the schematic design of the numerical model. A three- dimensional finite element was modelled as shown in the Fig. 4, having C3D8R hexahedral elements for concrete structure as S4R shell elements for CFRP.

In this study, numerical models were subjected to gravity loading and dynamic loading were applied until failure of the structure. Fig. 4 illustrates the direction and location of dynamic

loading which is positioned in the middle of the loading cap in order to equally distribute the loads. Tie constraint option was used in defining the interaction between CFRP and concrete structure. CFRP was tied to concrete in order to force the nodes to behave in the same translations. The assumed values of the

mechanical properties of the materials were listed in Tables 3 and 4 while the dynamic loading is shown in Fig. 5.

The values of CFRP were taken from the experimental study of Han et al. (2016) and the values of concrete properties were taken from the study of Senturk and Pul (2017). Senturk and Pul (2017) published a calibrated concrete damage plasticity parameter by performing a standard cylinder test on ABAQUS using a f’

4. Discussion of Results

The stress-strain and load-displacement hysteresis curve were investigated through finite element results and the ductility of the structure were obtained by numerical integration.

4.1 Finite Element Results

After performing finite element analysis, an element within the plastic hinge section of the column was evaluated as shown in Fig.

7. The structure without CFRP reinforcement was compared to CFRP with increasing thickness and wrapping ratio. Fig. 8 and Table 5 show the effect of increasing the length-to-height ratio of CFRP to stress-strain of the structure. It shows that the use of Fig. 5. Applied Dynamic Loading

with CFRP

CFRP improves the performance of the structure in terms of stress-stain. In addition to that, it was observed that the increase of height in CFRP significantly enhanced the behavior of the column than the increase of thickness of CFRP.

Load-displacement hysteresis curve was also analyzed and compared with respect to length-to-height ratio. The follow figures, Figs. 9, 10, and 11 shows the individual load-displacement hysteresis curve and skeleton curve of the original structure, and the cases of varying length-to-height ratio and width-to-span ratio. Figs. 12 shows the comparison of hysteresis curve of structure without CFRP to Fig. 12(a), structure with varying wrapping ratio, and Fig. 12(b), structure with varying wrapping relative thickness. Fig. 13 displays the combined skeleton curve.

Based from the finite element results, Fig. 13(a) illustrates that the base shear of the structure and the displacement increases as length-to-height ratio increases. In addition to that, it could be observed from Fig. 13(b) that the combined skeleton curve with respect to change in width-to-span ratio indicates that there is insignificant change in the load-displacement of the structure as the thickness of the CFRP is being increased.

ratio and width-to-span ratio varies. Based from the results, it was observed that the increase of thickness in CFRP is capable of slightly improving the performance of the structure but not as significant as change in length-to-height ratio.

4.2 Seismic Performance Evaluation

The ductility of the structure was evaluated using numerical analysis. The elastic, inelastic and total energy were obtained

through numerical integration. Table 8 lists the ductility of the structure according to change in wrapping ratio and relative thickness of the reinforcement. Based from the results, each of the specimen confined by CFRP reduced the risk in brittle failure, thus, improving the seismic performance of the structure. In particular, the increase of length-to-height ratio of the reinforcement significantly contributed to the enhancement of ductility of the structure than the increase of width-to-span.

4.3 Summary of Results

The discussion in this section summarizes the relationship of length-to-height ratio of the CFRP to the overall performance of the structure. Fig. 14(a) to Fig. 14(d) show that the same increasing trend was observed in general, the response of the circular concrete column strengthened with CFRP improved as the height of the reinforcement increased. The increasing trend indicates that as the ratio of length-to-height increases, the capacity in stress, load, deflection and ductility of the structure also increases.

confinement, length-to-height ratio of 1:1, exhibits significant improvement in the seismic performance of the structure.

The relationship of increasing thickness of the reinforcement and general behavior of the structure is discussed in this section.

Fig. 15(a) to 15(d) show that there is only slight improvement in the performance of the circular concrete column as the thickness of the CFRP increases. Based from the graphs of Fig. 15, there

is a seemingly flat slope trend observed as the width-to-span ratio moves from 0.0025 to 0.0075. This gradual incline indicates that there is only slight improvement in the performance of the structure as the thickness of the CFRP is being increased. Table 10 summarizes the behavior of the structure with respect to change in width-to-span ratio.

5. Conclusion

The following conclusions are drawn based by means of the results of the conducted finite element analysis. The main aim of this paper was to optimize the application of CFRP. The performance of a circular concrete column was analyzed according to the of change in length-to-height ratio and width-to-span ratio of CFRP.

(1) For the change of length-to-height ratio, it was found out that using CFRP as reinforcement with ratio of 0.25 to 1.0 could increase the ductility of the circular concrete column from 78 % ranging up to 89~92 %. In this regard, the continuous use of CFRP throughout the length of circular concrete structure showed significant improvement in the base shear, stress capacity, lateral deformation and ductility. Furthermore, this proves that the full confinement of the structure using CFRP or the length-to-height ratio of 1.0 is the optimum wrapping ratio of CFRP.

(2) The change of width-to-span ratio indicated that the increase in the thickness of CFRP also increases the ductility of the structure. It was found out that from the ductility of the original structure, 78 %, it could be improved ranging from 85 % up to 89 % with a wrapping thickness ratio of 0.0025 to 0.0075. However, the effect of increasing the thickness of CFRP to the overall performance structure tends to be insignificant. It was observed that the increase of thickness of the confining material could enhance the structure, however, there is only slight improvement in the behavior of the structure.

(3) For circular concrete columns, increasing the wrapping height of external confinement developed significant improvement than increasing the wrapping thickness of CFRP. The increase in wrapping height provided more confinement to reduce the brittle failure and to increase the ductility and earthquake resistance of circular bridge pier columns.
