报告内容：According to Federal Highway Administration, impact by moving trucks is the 3rd leading cause of bridge failure or collapse in the country. Although current AASHTO LRFD Guide Specifications prescribe designing bridge piers by applying a 600 kips static load at a height of 4ft to improve their impact resistance, recent studies have shown that the dynamic forces because of truck impacts may be significantly higher than that recommended by the AASHTO Guide Specifications. In this paper, we present an extensive investigation on the impact of a three-span steel girder bridge with reinforced concrete piers by trucks running at different speeds through models of bridge and the truck in LS-DYNA. A performance based approach is proposed to design bridge piers against truck impacts.
