4. Large scale Earthquake Simulations of Karad Bridge using OpenSees

Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Karad Bridge in OpenSees using High Performance Computing: A two-dimensional nonlinear model of the Karad Bridge, including the superstructure, piers, and supporting piles was developed using GiD. Tcl model script has been generated and given as inputs to OpenSees.
This bridge is situated on Guhagar-Karad-Jat-Vijapur, S. H. 78 at 141/200 across Krishna River near Karad and constructed as high level bridge by keeping pier positions in line with the piers of existing bridge. Hence, proposed span arrangement is 39.5 m, 38.0 m, 40.0 m, 40.0 m, 40.0 m, 40.0 m, 39.0 m and 39.0 m. The total length of the bridge is 315.50 m.
The bridge is having two lanes with 7.5 m clear road width between the kerbs and footpath 1.5 m width on D/S. 8-span composite structures with pre-stressed concrete box and RCC piers provide continuity. Piers are supported on pile groups, each of which is RCC pile. The foundation data is composed of mainly medium to dense clayey sand. In addition, fractured amagdoidal basalt layers are present. The hard rock is located at 23 m to 25 m depth
