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.

Calculation of cable force under seasonal ambient temperature is the key and difficult problem in the construction of long-span rib arch bridge. It affects the final cable forces and deformations of arch rib after arch closure. Unstressed state control method is introduced in the construction of Daning River Bridge; unstressed qualities of ribs and unstressed length of cables can be obtained by optimization analysis of the maximum cantilever state in construction. According to unstressed state control method, the cable forces of each segment were calculated using the forward-iteration method. These results offer the basis for construction control, and guarantee the arch rib line and cable forces to meet the design requirements, and an arch closure with high precision.

Abstract. This paper lists the problems during the stability analysis of long span CFST arch bridge and the corresponding modeling method. Based on the construction control of an orthotropic long span CFST arch bridge, a FEM model had been established to analysis the stability of its rib during the concrete pumping. The conclusion shows significant importance to the bridge’s construction process.

Long-span bridges are always a multi-support structural system, and seismic ground motion can vary significantly over distances comparable to the length of such kind of bridges, so it’s difficult to carry out shaking table tests because of the restriction of the dimension and amount of shaking tables. This paper discusses the multiple sub-table cordwood system is used to conduct a study on the seismic testing of a three-span irregular Concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) arch bridge with the objective of investigating the dynamic performance of the bridge under spatial earthquake motions. The development and testing of the bridge model and selected experimental results are discussed then. The seismic response and response characteristics of acceleration, displacement, internal force, and strain of the structure under earthquake excitations are gained, which can provide test data and basis to evaluate the seismic performance of this CFST arch bridge or other similar structural system design.

Monitoring and controlling of vertical construction for main arch ribs is most important for concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) arch bridges due to high risk. Controlling the difference of elevation between the two main arch ribs has direct influence on the mechanical behavior of lateral brace, towers and temporary hinges at arch abutments of main piers. Therefore, transverse synchronization control is the main priority in vertical rotating construction phase. Taking a half-through CFST arch bridge in Shijiazhuang City as an example, this paper make a study of transverse synchronization control of the two main arch ribs during vertical rotation. The finite element method (FEM) software-Midas is employed to simulate the main arch ribs in rotation construction phase, and maximum value of the difference of elevation between the two main arch ribs is obtained to offer reference and basis of vertical rotation construction of this bridge.

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.
