Out Of Plane

In view of huge destructibility of the near-fault ground motions, structures with long natural vibration period are liable to fall into nonlinear reaction stage. Based on a full understanding of the near-fault seismic spectrum characteristics, the out-of-plane seismic response of a long span concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) arch bridge was studied in depth, and the research result could offer a reference for near-fault aseismic design.

Spatially Varying

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.

The Common

Near-fault ground motions are more complex than the common far field, and it can significantly change the response characteristics of the structure. The records of Taiwan chi-chi earthquake associating with velocity pulse are selected, and the seismic accelerate response spectrum of different site are studied in deep. On the basis of time-history analysis, the seismic responses of a long-span CFST (concrete-filled steel tubular) arch bridge are discussed. Weakness section of the CFST arch rib are also indicated, providing a valuable reference for aseismic design.

This paper investigates the consequences of well-known characteristics of near-fault ground motions on the seismic response of steel moment frames. Additionally, idealized pulses are utilized in a separate study to gain further insight into the effects of high-amplitude pulses on structural demands. Simple input pulses were also synthesized to simulate artificial fling-step effects in ground motions originally having forward directivity. Findings from the study reveal that median maximum demands and the dispersion in the peak values were higher for near-fault records than far-fault motions. The arrival of the velocity pulse in a near-fault record causes the structure to dissipate considerable input energy in relatively few plastic cycles, whereas cumulative effects from increased cyclic demands are more pronounced in far-fault records. For pulse-type input, the maximum demand is a function of the ratio of the pulse period to the fundamental period of the structure. Records with fling effects were found to excite systems primarily in their fundamental mode while waveforms with forward directivity in the absence of fling caused higher modes to be activated. It is concluded that the acceleration and velocity spectra, when examined collectively, can be utilized to reasonably assess the damage potential of near-fault records.

A typical reinforced concrete rib arch bridge was chosen to investigate its nonlinear response to near-fault ground motions recorded in 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. Results showed that significant seismic damage may occur, maximum demands were higher for near-fault records having forward directive than far-fault motions, and the rotational capacity of rib plastic hinge is not enough for the large compression force of arch rib. While backward-directivity motions, typically do not exhibit pulse-type motions, only have medium seismic damage to the arch bridge.

Large-span V structure tied arch bridge structure system is complex. In order to make the actual state of the bridge into the ideal state of maximum close to the design, we must make real-time monitoring in the key parts of the structure, and adjust to the design of the data by analysis calculated, to ensure the safety and reliability of arch bridge in the course of construction and into stress after the completed bridge. Combined with the construction monitoring of the main Xinglong Bridge on Si River, this paper introduces the main bridge construction process measurement a preliminary study on the large span V configuration basket tied arch bridge construction monitoring technology. Based on the construction monitoring of Xinglong Bridge on Si River, this paper introduces the main contents and methods of monitoring point location, monitoring control of construction process, and discussed the construction monitoring technology of long-span X-style tied arch bridge V structure.

AbstractWith spreading of population and increasing of instruction, and also because of limited resources and materials, the demand for using novel materials in building industry has increased. The reinforced concrete columns and steel beams are used in structures with composite moment frame (RCS). Use of compression strength in proportion with concrete and bending strength of steel beam has bestowed these structures less weight than that of concrete structures and made it easier to access the measure of strong column - weak beam especially within long span in these structures. The most important part of these structures is connection of steel beam with the reinforced concrete column. These connections are divided into two general groups of connection with bracing beam and with bracing column from the joint. This paper aims to study the seismic behavior and parameters of RCS composite frame composed of steel beams and strong concrete column. The finite element method was analyzed by ABAQUS software and data analyzed by Excel.
