Q1. An idealized two-pier bridge modeled as a shear frame is shown below. The piers are separated by a 10 cm gap from a fully rigid body (with no relative displacement within the body). Use the TBDY2018 design spectrum values for Soil Class ZD (Ss =1.296g, S1=0.361g, Fs=1.0, F1=1.939, Sds =1.296g, Sd1=0.70 g ) to answer the following questions
i) Calculate the maximum displacement of the frame. Is the 10 cm gap sufficient to prevent contact? Explain your reasoning.
ii) Determine the maximum shear force in each pier of the bridge.
iii) Determine the maximum bending moment in each pier of the bridge.
Given Data: Mass \(=\{\mathbf{200}\}\) tons, Elasticity modulus, \(\mathrm{E}=3.0\mathrm{e}7\mathrm{kN}/\mathrm{m}^{2}\), Pier heights: 2 H and H where \(\mathrm{H}=5\) and Piers' Diameter: \(\{65\}\) cm
