• Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) or
• Deterministic seismic hazard analysis
A deterministic hazard analysis (DSHA) involves evaluating the seismic hazard at a site for an earthquake of a specific magnitude occurring at a specific location, considering the attenuation of the ground motions with distance. The DSHA is usually conducted without regard for the likelihood of occurrence.

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA)
When is a Site Specific Response Analysis Needed?When is a Site Specific Response Analysis Needed?
• Focuses on the spatial and temporal occurrence of earthquakes, and evaluates all of the possible earthquake sources contributing to the seismic hazard at a site with the purpose of developing ground motion data consistent with a specified uniform hazard level.
• Quantifies the uncertainties associated with the seismic hazard, including the location of the source, extent and geometry, maximum earthquake magnitudes, rate of seismicity, and estimated ground-motion parameters.
• Produces a uniform hazard acceleration response spectrum based on a specified uniform hazard level or probability of exceedance within a specified time period (i.e., 7% probability of exceedance in 75 years).

A site-specific ground motion response analyses should be performed if any of the following apply (AASHTO):
• The site consists of Site Class F soils, as defined in Article 3.4.2.1.
• The bridge is considered critical or essential according to Article 4.2.2, for which a higher degree of confidence of meeting the seismic performance objectives of Article 3.2 is desired.

AASHTO 3.4:
If the site is located within 6 mi of a known active fault capable of producing a magnitude 5 earthquake and near fault effects are not modeled in the development of national ground motion maps, directivity and directionality effects should be considered as described in Article 3.4.3.1 and its commentary.
When is a Site Specific Response Analysis Needed?When is a Site Specific Response Analysis Needed?
AASHTO 3.4.3.1For sites located within 6 mi of an active surface or shallow fault, as depicted in the USGS Active Fault Map, near-fault effects on ground motions should be considered to determine if these could significantly influence the bridge response.
Near–Fault Effects
2009 ODOT Geo/Hydro/HazMat Conference
AASHTO 3.4 definition:
• An active fault is defined as a near surface or shallow fault whose location is known or can reasonably be inferred and which has exhibited evidence of displacement in Holocene (or recent) time (in the past 11,000 yr, approximately).
• Use USGS Quaternary Fault database to determine if fault is considered “active” (<15ka) and for description of fault characteristics.
When is a Site Specific Response Analysis Needed?When is a Site Specific Response Analysis Needed?
Near–Fault Effects
2009 ODOT Geo/Hydro/HazMat Conference
• Directivity effects that increase ground motions for periods greater than 0.5 sec if the fault rupture propagates toward the site, and
• Directionality effects that increase ground motions for periods greater than 0.5 sec in the direction normal
(perpendicular) to the strike of the fault.
AASHTO 3.4.3.1:These effects are significant only for periods longer than 0.5 sec and normally would be evaluated only for essential or critical bridges having natural periods of vibration longer than 0.5 sec.

Near–Fault Effects
2009 ODOT Geo/Hydro/HazMat Conference
• Currently no ODOT classification of “essential” or “critical” bridges.
• All bridges considered subject to near fault effects if criteria is met.
• Ground Response Analysis typically not required. Currently researching procedures to use for modifying general response spectrum.

Selection and Scaling of Time Selection and Scaling of Time HistoriesHistories
Design Response Spectra Design Response Spectra from Ground Response Analysisfrom Ground Response Analysis
AASHTO (2009) allows two options for the selection of time histories to use in ground response analysis. The two options are:
a) Use a suite of 3 response-spectrum-compatible time histories with the design response spectrum developed enveloping the maximum response, or
b) Use of at least 7 time histories and develop the design spectrum as the mean of the computed response spectra.
2009 ODOT Geo/Hydro/HazMat Conference
Design Response Spectra Design Response Spectra from Ground Response Analysisfrom Ground Response Analysis
Use at least three (3) spectrum-compatible time histories, representing the seismic source characteristics.
Used for single primary source sites
Match the selected time-histories to the “target” spectrum using response spectrum matching techniques.
Develop the design response spectrum by enveloping the caps of the resulting response spectra.

Selection and Scaling of Time Selection and Scaling of Time Histories:Histories:
Design Response Spectra Design Response Spectra from Ground Response Analysisfrom Ground Response Analysis
Sites with multiple primary sources Difficult to match time histories from every source to the entire
target spectrum (gives unrealistic results) Use a collection of time histories that include at least three (3)
ground motion records representative each primary source (typically subduction zone events and shallow crustal earthquakes)
Scale the records associated with each primary source so that the average of the records closely matches the target spectrum in the period range of significance.
Develop the mean spectrum for each primary source Design response spectrum is developed as an envelope with
minor reductions in the spectral peaks (mean + one standard deviation).

Once the time histories have been scaled or spectrally matched, they can be used directly as input into the ground response analysis programs to develop response spectra and other seismic design parameters.
Five percent (5%) damping is typically used in all site response analysis.

Preliminary Screening (cont.)Preliminary Screening (cont.)Liquefaction Assessment not required if:
All soils in the upper 75 feet are classified as “cohesive”, and Have a PI ≥ 18.
Note that cohesive soils with PI ≥ 18 may still be very soft or exhibit sensitive behavior and could therefore undergo significant strength loss under earthquake shaking. This criterion should be used with care and good engineering judgment.

• Nonliquefied Configuration: no liquefaction occurs, using the ground response spectrum appropriate for the site soil conditions in a nonliquefied state.
• Liquefied Configuration: The structure as designed in the nonliquefied configuration should be reanalyzed assuming that the layer has liquefied and the liquefied soil provides the appropriate residual resistance for lateral and axial deep foundation response analyses consistent with liquefied soil conditions The design spectrum should be the same as that used in a nonliquefied configuration.

Bridge Foundations
Spread Footings:• Not recommended over liquefiable soils unless ground improvement provided
Piles & Drilled Shafts:• Tips located below deepest liquefiable layer• Friction resistance in liquefiable layer not included in Extreme Event I state loading case• Provide modified soil parameters for modeling p-y curves in liquefied soil layers (don’t use built-in DFSAP program option for estimating liquefied lateral stiffness parameters)• Provide estimates of downdrag loads due to liquefaction settlement

• Mitigation is required when the bridge performance requirements cannot otherwise be met.
• Design deviations can be considered by the Bridge Section
• All mitigation designs are to be reviewed by the Bridge Section

Performance Requirements (New Bridges)
1000-year “No-Collapse” Criteria• Under this level of shaking, the bridge and approach structures, bridge foundation and approach fills must be able to withstand the forces and displacements without collapse of any portion of the structure.
• If large embankment displacements (lateral spread) or overall slope failure of the end fills are predicted, the impacts on the bridge end bent, abutment walls and interior piers should be evaluated to see if the impacts could potentially result in collapse of any part of the structure.
• Slopes adjacent to a bridge or tunnel should be evaluated if their failure could result in collapse of a portion or all of the structure.

Performance Requirements (New Bridges)
500-year “Serviceability” Criteria
• Under this level of shaking, the bridge and approach fills, are designed to remain in service shortly after the event (after the bridge has been properly inspected) to provide access for emergency vehicles.
• In order to do so, the bridge is designed to respond semi-elastically under seismic loads with minimal damage. Some structural damage is anticipated but the damage should be repairable and the bridge should be able to carry emergency vehicles immediately following the earthquake. This holds true for the approach fills leading up to the bridge.

Performance Requirements (New Bridges)
500-year “Serviceability” Criteria (cont.) • Approach fill settlement and lateral displacements should be minimal to provide for immediate emergency vehicle access for at least one travel lane.
• For mitigation purposes approach fills are defined as shown on Figure 6-12.
• As a general rule of thumb, an estimated lateral embankment displacement of up to 1 foot is considered acceptable in many cases as long as the “serviceable” performance criteria described above can be met. Vertical settlements on the order of 6” to 12” may be acceptable depending on the roadway geometry and anticipated performance of the bridge end panels.

Performance Requirements (New Bridges)
500-year “Serviceability” Criteria (cont.) These displacement criteria are to serve as general guidelines only and engineering judgment is required to determine the final amounts of acceptable displacement that will meet the desired criteria. It should be noted that these estimated displacements are not at all precise values and may easily vary by factors of 2 to 3 depending on the analysis method(s) used. The amounts of allowable vertical and horizontal displacements should be decided on a case-by-case basis, based on discussions and consensus between the bridge designer and the geotechnical designer and perhaps other project personnel.
