Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to develop the fragility curves for an existing bridge having circular pier by static nonlinear analysis (Pushover Analysis). In this study, a cantilever circular bridge pier which is located in Assam, a highly seismic zone in India is considered for development of seismic fragility curve. Capacity of the bridge has been determined by Pushover analysis of bridge pier and demand parameter of the bridge were obtained by using ATC 40 Capacity Spectrum method and IS 1893:2016 (Part 1) along with IRC 6:2017. Civil Software SAP 2000 version 20 is used to analyze the bridge pier. The fragility curves of the pier have been constructed assuming a lognormal distribution. The evaluation results presented here describes the probabilistic seismic failure of the bridge pier and its capacity to meet the desired performance level.
