Abstract
The dynamic response of a structural system can be described by modal analysis. In the present study, the modal analysis that adopts an Undamped Degree of Freedom (Undamped-DOF) System is implemented to describe the modal descriptors such as the natural frequency and mode shape of a bridge. Furthermore, the earthquake load acting on the bridge is also evaluated and hence the possibility of a resonance associated with this load is investigated. For this objective, the earthquake data collected during the past ten years in Indonesia is explored. This study considers the Tanjung Baru Bridge, a prestressed concrete bridge situated on the Medan-Kualanamu-Tebing Tinggi highway, as the case study. The modal analysis and the evaluation of the earthquake load confirm that the possibility of resonance for the Tanjung Baru Bridge is extremely low. The study also proves that this bridge has a sufficient capacity to withstand earthquake loads.
