ABSTRACT
This report presents the theoretical background of a computer platform for three-dimensional inelastic analysis of bridge structures. IDARC-BRIDGE utilizes recent developments by the authors and other researchers involved in the current and related NCEER projects. The program adapts and extends some of the component and damage models of the existing platform for two-dimensional analysis of buildings IDARC-2D (Kunnath et.al, 1987, Valles et. al, 1996). A number of unique features, however, expand its range of applicability to include bridge structures, which often present unusual and uncommon modeling problems. Two distinct goals define the scope of IDARC-BRIDGES 1) to serve as an efficient and user-friendly analytical tool for investigating the behavior of bridge structures by engineers and researchers, and 2) to provide a framework for future software development by allowing the user to incorporate new modules, element types and component models or replace the existing ones.(AU)
