Opensees Modeling Ductility Damage Index Based Seismic Performance Assessment of Bridge Substructure

Modeling Bridge Substructure and run Nonlinear Dynamic and Static (Pushover) Analysis and Moment Curvature Analysis with using opensees and Python. plotting inelastic response spectrum for displacement, velocity, acceleration and different ductility damage index such as structure and section damage index , (structure Period from zeo until one) for this bridge substructure and evalute relation between outputed data from analysis. At the end we do Reliability Analysis
What is the Ductility Damage Index (DI)?
The DI is a crucial parameter used to evaluate the seismic performance of structures, especially in the context of inelastic behavior during earthquakes.
It quantifies the extent of damage a structure experiences due to seismic forces, considering both displacement and ductility.
Components of the DI:
Displacement Components:
Max. Absolute Displacement (delta_D): This represents the maximum displacement experienced by the structure during dynamic analysis (e.g., ground shaking).
Yield Displacement (delta_Y): The displacement at which the structure transitions from elastic to inelastic behavior during pushover analysis.
Ultimate Displacement (delta_U): The maximum displacement the structure can withstand before failure during pushover analysis.
Ductility Component:
The ductility captures the ability of a structure to undergo inelastic deformation without catastrophic failure. It is the ratio of the displacement at yield (delta_Y) to the displacement at ultimate (delta_U).
Ductility Damage Index Calculation:
The DI is expressed as: DI = (delta_D - delta_Y) / (delta_U - delta_Y)
Interpreting the DI:
A higher DI indicates greater damage and reduced structural integrity.
If DI approaches 1, the structure has experienced significant inelastic deformation.
If DI is close to 0, the structure remains mostly elastic.
Application and Significance:
Engineers use the DI to assess the seismic vulnerability of buildings, bridges, and other structures.
It guides decisions on retrofitting, strengthening, or replacing structures to enhance their resilience against earthquakes.
By considering both displacement and ductility, the DI provides a comprehensive view of structural performance.
Remember that the DI plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and reliability of structures (Performance Based Building Design) in seismic-prone regions.

Thanks Dr Lotfalian 🙏

I just used Professor Banan and Dr Ashkan Sharifi papers from shiraz university, for modeling of ductility damage index. God bless them
