Abstract In violent earthquakes, ground motion is considered to change dramatically in the process of spatial propagation. Strong spatially varying exists in ground motion near fault area, and it can cause the large-span and large stiffness structure to be damaged. In this paper, a typical long-span steel box arch bridge is selected as an engineering case. In order to simulate the spatially varying of near fault ground motion accurately, the records that sampled in former earthquake are used as ground motion input. The shaking table experiment and finite element analysis are used as analysis means. Through the analysis of the internal force and displacement response of the key position of the arch rib, it is found that the spatially varying in the near fault ground motion can bring severe seismic response .If the spatially varying is ignored, the damage of the bridge will be seriously underestimated.
