Abstract:
In this research, detailed finite element models of as built and retrofitted multicolumn bents have been developed and validated against available experimental results. Four different jacketing techniques such as, carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), steel, engineering cementitious composite (ECC), and concrete have been considered in this study. Multi-column bents were retrofitted according to CSA S6-19. Using the validated numerical models, performance-based damage states are developed for the retrofitted bridge bents. This study will aid engineers to obtain material strain limits for retrofitted bridge currently unavailable in design codes/standards.
