Relating EDPs in RC Bridges to Damage and Decison Metrics The overall goal of this project is to relate Engineering Demand Parameters (EDPs) to Damage Measures (DMs) and Decision Variables (DVs) for reinforced concrete bridges. The specific objectives are to Evaluate and calibrate the OpenSees column modeling strategies using the PEER Structural Performance Database, and for complex loading conditions, including varying axial loads, bi-directional loading and shaking-table experiments. Calibrate and evaluate the benefits/drawbacks of implementing new material models for the cyclic response of reinforcing bars (Mohl-Kunnath) and concrete (Mitra-Berry- Lowes). Provide simulation support for PEER bar buckling experiments (Lehman-Stanton) Coordinate WSDOT, FHWA and PEER-sponsored modeling (Mahin, Billington) on the development of post-tensioned systems for bridge columns. Assist Stojadinovic on the development of methodologies to estimate a general set of EDPs, DMs and DVs for reinforced concrete bridges. Continue to maintain and (if possible) expand the Structural Performance Database, which provides column data for nearly 500 columns.
