A structure model of three-span continuous rigid frame bridge was constructed based on the finite element method. Firstly, the static performances were obtained. Secondly, the modal analysis was performed to get the natural frequencies and periods. The dynamic characteristics of the bridge structure were summarized, and some improvement guidelines are suggested to overcome the shortcoming for the bridge structure. Then, seismic response analysis was carried out based on the EL-Centro wave. The input excitations adopted the combination of vertical wave plus longitudinal wave, or vertical wave plus lateral wave, or the combination of three directions. Based on the three excitation cases, some useful results were obtained, which include internal forces, displacements, accelerations time-history curves of the critical sections for the bridge structure. And some comments about the time-history curves are given. At last, some helpful conclusions are drawn based on the calculation and analysis above. The calculation methods and results in this paper can provide some referenced information for the engineering design.

Liangjiang Great Bridge is the prestressed concrete continuous rigid frame bridge with high pier and long-span. It adopts the segmented cantilever construction method. The process of its construction is the key to the construction control simulation analysis. In this paper, based on the characteristics of the bridge construction, finite element method is used to establish the simulation model. Cantilever construction stages and closure stages of bridge are simulated and analyzed. The structure deflection diagrams in the each section construction and the later construction considering the creep and shrinkage of concrete are obtained. The initial camber of each segment is given in the construction. The stress characteristics of key section are analyzed in the construction process. It provides a basis for monitoring and on-site construction of bridge and the reference for similar bridge construction.

The fluctuating wind field is simulated for digital by using the stationary Gauss processes, which Kaimal spectrum and Panofsky spectrum is used to the simulation of wind target spectrum with different direction and speed. According to Davenport quasi-steady buffeting force model formula, the time-history of wind velocity is converted to Buffeting force time history, which are applied to the Structure model node, combined with ANSYS for long-span continuous rigid frame bridge buffeting response analysis dynamic simulation.Taking a high pier and long span continuous rigid frame bridge as an example, analyzes dynamic buffeting response of the bridge under the action of the stochastic wind field, which as the guidance of high pier and long span continuous rigid frame bridge design work, practice has proved that the method is simple, reliable, also can be a way that dynamic analysis of buffeting response of large span bridge or tower structure under the action of stochastic wind field.

The failure behavior and the vulnerable position of the rigid frame bridge are analyzed by nonlinear response analysis, based on incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). The damage index, applying for long-span continuous rigid frame bridge with high pier, is studied. The seismic vulnerability problem of the whole bridge is analyzed by fiber model. The strain was used for damage index of piers. The displacement was used for damage index of bearings. According to the studies above, the fragility curves are established based on integral performance of the bridge.

Strengthening Method

PurposeThe paper aims to investigate effectiveness of the strengthening method, the construction process monitoring, fielding-load tests before and after strengthening, and health monitoring after reinforcement were carried out. The results of concrete strain and deflection show that the flexural strength and stiffness of the strengthened beam are improved.Design/methodology/approachThis paper describes prestressed steel strand as a way to strengthen a 25-year-old continuous rigid frame bridge. High strength, low relaxation steel strand with high tensile strain and good corrosion resistance were used in this reinforcement. The construction process for strengthening with prestressed steel strand and steel plate was described. Ultimate bearing capacity of the bridge after strengthening was discussed based on finite element model.FindingsThe cumulative upward deflection of the second span the third span was 39.7 mm, which is basically consistent with the theoretical value, and the measured value is smaller than the theoretical value. The deflection value of the second span during data acquisition was −20 mm–10 mm, which does not exceed the maximum deflection value of live load, and the deflection of the bridge is in a safe state during normal use. Thus, this strengthened way with prestressed steel wire rope is feasible and effective.Originality/valueThis paper describes prestressed steel strand as a way to strengthen a 25-year-old continuous rigid frame bridge. To investigate effectiveness of the strengthening method, the construction process monitoring, fielding-load tests before and after strengthening and health monitoring after reinforcement were carried out.
