Introduction
Research project:
Seismic analysis of bridges in moderate seismic regions
Database of existing bridges
Pre-Eurocode era –lack of seismic design
Seismic behavior is not known
Thousands of structures
Parametric study to recognize vulnerable configurations
Fast analysis method is needed
Multi modal response spectrum analysis

Introduction
Response spectrum analysis:
Mostwidelyused
Well-known
Relativelyfast(comparedtoothermethods)
Suitableforparametricstudyorsensitivityanalysis
Linearmethod,but
Canbeusedwithnon-linearelements(effectivestiffnessanditerativesolution)
Overestimates(generally)theinternalforces
Thus,givesanupperlimitfortheresponses

Theoretical background
Response spectrum analysis:
• Based on modal analysis (eigenvectors and eigenvalues)
• Importance of a mode characterized by the modal mass:
푚푖
∗ =
휱푖
푇풎 휾 2
휱푖
푇풎 휱푖
• Load vector for each mode:
• Quasi-static loading, static analysis
• Combination of the responses from each mode:
