30 Japanese Practice: Bridge Design Plan minimizing the Effect on River Flooding The level of lower bottom of bridge girder shall be higher than planed HWL plus specified additional space. For the river with width of 50m or more, abutment shall not be placed in the lower level than HWL. 50m or more Less than 50m Specified Rules for Location of Bridge Abutment Minimizing the effect on river flooding, appropriate regulation and coordination between river and structures administrations are essential. 30

32 For Resilient Infrastructures Development in Nepal Findings and Proposals/Recommendations 3. Development of Nepal Own Seismic Design Code 33

33 Nepal Bridge Standards-2067 Design Standard Applied The design standards for bridges had not been developed, but it is concluded that 2010 Nepal Bridge Standards specified to use the Indian Road Congress (IRC) Code. It is specified that IRC code or AASHTO Code is to be applied for loading issues, and that IRC code is to be applied for the design. 34

34 Nepal Bridge Standards-2067 Recommendation: It is strongly recommended to develop the original code applicable and suitable for the earthquake situation in Nepal. If we do not have own original code, 1) the information of code is not enough and the understanding of the back-data of each specified article becomes unclear. 2) no technology accumulation since the code shows a measure of current standard technology. 3) no interaction between research and practices 4) no education for engineers since to learn the development/revision of codes is a good opportunity for training for engineers. 35

35 Damage to Bridge Weak and Nonductile Stopper Lifeline: Water Pipes 35

36 IRC: Section Recommended Provision Non-ductile Damage In 2015 Nepal EQ By IRC Code Discussion: It is recommended the design details of blocks should be modified including design force (to be primary) and bending/shear design. By IRC Code 36

37 Performance-Based Design Concept Not specified Target Performance Indian Road Congress (IRC) Code is not performance-based. Discussion: It is recommended to use the performancebased design concept. TARGET SEISMIC PERFORMANCE (Japan) Importance Type of Ground Motion Medium EQ High Probability to Occur Type-A (Standard Br.) Type-B (Important Br.) SPL 1: Prevent Damage Large EQ Low Probability to Occur Type-I EQ Inter-plate EQs Type-II EQ Inland EQs SPL 3: Prevent Critical Damage (Non-Collapse) SPL 2: Limited Damage for Function Recovery 37

38 IRC: Section Z: Zone Factor By NBC Code By IRC Code Discussion: What zone value should be used for Nepal based on IRC code? 38

39 Earthquake Observation Data: Nepal Earthquake of 25 April Mw, 06:11:26 UTC, 28.15N 84.71E, Depth 15km Kanti Path,Kathmandu Distance 14km by CESMD (refer to 40

40 MLIT Support Team Future Anticipated Ground Motion (JICA2002 Study) Possible Scenario Earthquakes 1) Mid Nepal EQ (M8.0 2) North Bagmati EQ M6.0 3) Kathmandu Valley EQ M5.7 PGA: gal (Observation : PGA gal By JICA and MOHA 41

41 IRC: Section R: Response Reduction Factor? Discussion: The values for R without ductile detailing seems to be too large for substructures. Shear type failure is to be prevented. By IRC Code 41

42 Lateral Force MLIT Support Team Ductility Design and Engineering Limit States 耐震性能を満足するエリア 水平力 SPL1 耐震性能 1 SPL2 SPL3 耐震性能 2 耐震性能 3 水 水平変位 耐震性能 1 に対する限界状態 Limit state for SPL1 耐震性能 2 に対する限界状態 Limit state for SPL2 耐震性能 3 に対する限界状態 Limit state for SPL3 Note: The ductility design means the 42 consideration of damage. Lateral displacement 水平変位 42

43 Development of Standard Substructure Drawings for Road Bridges Recommendation: Coming 3 year DOR program: 1) New Road Construction: about 3000km 2) Upgrading of Roads 3) Bridge Construction: about 400 bridges Standard superstructure drawings for road bridges have been published. It is recommended to develop such standard drawings for Substructures considering the soil conditions and the effect of scouring. 43

44 For Resilient Infrastructures Development in Nepal Findings and Proposals/Recommendations 4. Improvement of Roads in Rural/Mountain Areas 45

45 Gorkha, Barpak Area: Countermeasures Countermeasures: Risk assessment, hazard mapping, preparation of heavy machines to reopen, Rangrung improvement River works with appropriate prioritization. 45

46 Roads in Mountain Areas: Ex. Road to Kulekhani: Slope Failure, Rockfalls 46

47 Temporary Repair for River Crossing Need Bridges River 47

48 Summary of Findings and Proposals/Recommendations Kathmandu Urban Area: Structures 1) Improvement of Functions (lanes and width) and Seismic Safety of Bridges on the Emergency Transport Routes to make Resilient the Urban Area. Bridge damage will be a bottleneck and cause the closure of Roads. Replacement to New Bridges, Seismic Design, Seismic Retrofit, 2) Provision of Maintenance Technology and System (Inspection and Repair of Bridges) Deterioration/Scouring might cause serious damage at next events. 3) Improvement of Earth Structures (Reclaimed River areas, Inadequate Drainage System) Countermeasures for Vulnerable Embankment Section 4) Pedestrian Bridges Replacement of Superstructures/Provision of Stopper/Connector Rural Areas and Mountain Areas 1) Improvement of Lifeline Routes to connect Villages to Cities 2) Urgent Countermeasure for Reliable Road Risk Assessment, Evaluation, Prioritized Improvement Works 48
