The document discusses buckling analysis of bridge decks. It talks about different types of buckling like flexural, torsional buckling and provides examples of buckling in bridge components.

The different types of buckling mentioned are under axial compression, under bending and other forms like distortional and local buckling.

The two analysis types available in ANSYS for buckling analysis mentioned are Eigen value (or linear) buckling analysis and Non-linear buckling analysis.

Introduction
 Buckling is a type of instability that leads to a failure mode
 Buckling occurs under compressive stress
 It is characterized by sudden sideways deflection of the
member
 In theoretical sense, buckling is a bifurcation in
the solution to the equations of static equilibrium.
Types of buckling
 Under axial compression:
1. Flexural buckling
2. Torsional buckling
3. Flexural-torsional buckling
 Under bending:
4. Lateral torsional buckling
 Other forms:
5. Distortional buckling
6. Local buckling
Types of buckling analysis
 Analytical methods:

• Non-trivial equilibrium state approach


• Virtual work approach
• Minimum potential energy approach
• Kinetic or dynamical approach
Types of buckling analysis
 Numerical methods:

• Finite Difference Method


• Numerical integration
• Finite element method
• Finite strip method
Examples of buckling of bridge
decks
 Lateral bracings in plate girder bridges are susceptible to
torsional buckling due to horizontal loads
 Local buckling of members in plate girders
 Top chords of truss bridge may buckle, verified by
[5]Tong et al
 Buckling of thin walled sections in an orthotropic bridge
deck, verified by [4] Yarnold et al
 Buckling in cable stayed bridges worked on by [6] Pedro
and Reis
 Lateral torsional buckling of paired steel girders of
composite bridge whilst concrete is being poured, verified
by [2] Hendy et al
Analysis types available in ANSYS
 Eigen value (or linear) buckling analysis
 Non-linear buckling analysis
Mathematical formulation
 [K]{d}={R}′
 [Kg’]=λ[Kg] {R}= λ{R}′
 ([K] + λcrit[Kg] ){d}′= λcrit{R}′
 ([K] + λcrit[Kg] ){d}={0}
 Det([K] + λ[Kg] )=0
Shell element
 4 noded element - SHELL181
 8-noded element – SHELL281
 [Ke] = ∫[B]T[D][B]dV
 [Kg] = ∫[G]T[S][G]dV
Numerical Analysis
 Plate properties
 Dimensions = 1m x 0.5m x 0.005m
 E = 7 x 1010 N/m2 (isotropic)
 ν = 0.3
 Boundary conditions: Simply supported on all sides
 Mesh division (element size): 0.025m

 Critical load from ANSYS: 61.91kN


Future Scope
 The buckling analysis of a bridge deck will be carried out
 Non-linear buckling analysis can be performed on the
same plates
 A full scale plate girder bridge can be analysed
 Bridge decks subjected to dynamic loadings can be
analyzed for buckling as well.
