Monte Carlo Analysis of Longitudinal Behavior of Skew Bridge Abutments
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
This study focuses on the estimation of the longitudinal force reaction in skew bridge abutments with non-rotating walls through numerical and analytical approaches. To this end,Monte Carlo analysis is conducted to develop a formula for predicting the longitudinal force capacity of skew abutments based on an extensive matrix of verified high-fidelity three-dimensional continuum finite element models. Accurate prediction of this force reaction can be quite effective in better understanding the complete cyclic behavior of skew bridge abutments, which will consequently result in efficient analysis and design of such structures.
