In the current vehicle-bridge dynamics research studies, displacement impact coefficients are often used to replace the moment and shear force impact coefficients, and the vehicle model is also simplified as a moving-load model without considering the contribution of vehicle stiffness and damping to the system in some concerned research studies, which cannot really reflect the mechanical behavior of the structures under vehicle dynamic loads. This paper presents a vehicle-bridge coupling model for the prediction of dynamic responses and impact coefficient of the long-span curved bending beam bridge. The element stiffness matrix and mass matrix of a curved box girder bridge with 9 freedom degrees are directly deduced based on the principle of virtual work and dynamic finite element theory. The vibration equations of vehicle-bridge coupling are established by introducing vehicle mode with 7 freedom degrees. The Newmark-β method is adopted to solve vibration response of the system under vehicle dynamic loads, and the influences of flatness of bridge surface, vehicle speed, load weight, and primary beam stiffness on the impact coefficient are comprehensively discussed. The results indicate that the impact coefficient presents a nonlinear increment as the flatness of bridge surface changes from good to terrible. The vehicle-bridge coupling system resonates when the vehicle speeds reach 60 km/h and 100 km/h. The moment design value will maximally increase by 2.89%, and the shear force design value will maximally decrease by 34.9% when replacing moment and shear force impact coefficients with the displacement impact coefficient for the section internal force design. The load weight has a little influence on the impact coefficient; the displacement and moment impact coefficients are decreased with an increase in primary beam stiffness, while the shear force impact coefficient is increased with an increase in primary beam stiffness. The theoretical results presented in this paper agree well with the ANSYS results.

Dynamic load test of bridge is one of the important indexes to evaluate bridge operation and bearing capacity, however, the test of the lateral distribution of bridge is one of the important means to evaluate the state of bridge. In order to evaluate the stress condition and working performance of a box girder bridge in a mining area under the special load of 100T, dynamic load test and lateral load distribution are studied, dynamic load test is to test the natural vibration frequency damping ratio and impact coefficient of the bridge through pulsating test and traffic running test, the transverse distribution of load is analyzed by deflection method and the experimental value of transverse distribution coefficient is compared with the theoretical value of girder method. The results show that under dynamic load, the first vertical natural vibration frequency of the bridge is 10.986, the damping ratio is 0.015%, and the impact coefficient is 1.07~1.26, the vertical measured fundamental frequency is larger than the calculated fundamental frequency, and the overall stiffness of the bridge meets with the design specification; the transverse connection among the box girders is close and the lateral distribution of load meets with the requirement of the design specification.

Along with technological developments in the field of civil engineering, various systems are used to reduce the impact of earthquakes on the structure. One system that has long been developed is a passive prevention system consisting of seismic isolation. Buildings that use seismic dumper are expected to fail structure when an earthquake occurs. This study discusses the comparison of internal forces in buildings using base isolation and without base isolation. The building which is the case study is the Indonesian Heritage Foundation school building in Cimanggis. The analysis uses the 2016 ETABS program. Earthquake analysis uses the Spectrum Response method. From the research results, it is known that the building which was installed with an insulator shakes the structure to 1,344 seconds. The vibration period of the structure increased 41% from the vibration period of the structure which still used a fixed base of 0.796 seconds. Seen from the intersection between floors the maximum direction of X can be reduced by 15.4% by installing an insulator. The same thing happened to the maximum inter-floor deviation for the Y direction deviation is muted by 27.75%. Base isolation installation reduces the moment in a column by 36% in the earthquake X direction and 61% in the earthquake Y direction. For column shear force is reduced by 58% in the earthquake X direction and 75% in the earthquake Y direction. Base isolation can reduce basic shear force in buildings by 24.49% in the X direction of the building and 22.24% in the Y direction.

Bridges built with adjacent precast, prestressed concrete box-girders are a popular and economical solution for short-span bridges because they can be constructed rapidly. The top flanges of the precast box girders form the bridge deck surface. A shear key is introduced between the adjacent boxes over the depth of the top flange (i.e. 225 mm thick as the thickness of the box's top flange). Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code, CHBDC specifies empirical equations for the moment and shear distribution factors for selected bridge configurations but not for adjacent precast concrete box-girder bridge type. In this study, a parametric study was conducted, using the 3D finite-element modeling, and a set of simplified equations for the moment, shear and deflection distribution factors for the studied bridge configuration was developed.

The impact on curved box girder bridges due to applying prestressing force have been analyzed using finite element method. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation and analytical studies. Based on the model experiment, the results and conclusions of shear lag in curved box girder with prestressing force are presented that prestressing force has changed shear lag distribution. The prestressing force action on box girder shall be considered comprehensively, structural force shall be analyzed accurately, optimize prestressing tendons shall be set rationally which would make force more rationally. The results highlighted that the impact factors of a curved box girder bridge have been observed to be generally very high, while those of the other responses are also relatively higher than that of corresponding straight box girder bridge.

Abstract Pre-stressed concrete bridge analysis is completely dependent on the standards and design criteria. Herein, the current study compares like a pre-stressed concrete bridge under the effect of two different loading standards and specifications. The two different loading standards considered herein are IRC 6: 2000 and AASHTO-LRFD standards. Further, the pre-stressed box girder bridge is modelled and analysis in MIDAS CIVIL. On carrying out analysis, the primary structural analysis parameters which are important for the design of structure, are studied. These parameters are shear force, bending moment and torsion in the bridge elements along its length. It became observed that AASHTO standards are uneconomical than IRC standards, due to consideration of heavy weight vehicle load moving on the bridge span. Thus, it might be said that pre-stressed box girder bridge analysis and design should be carried out effectively and optimistically using IRC standards and specifications.

This study proposed a dynamic characteristic analytical method (ANM) of a composite box girder bridge with corrugated steel web (CBGCSW) by completely considering the impact of shear lag effect and accordion effect of corrugated steel webs. Based on energy principles and variational principles, a vibration differential equation and the natural boundary conditions of a CBGCSW were developed. The analytical calculation formula for solving the vibration differential equation was then obtained. The results calculated using the ANM agreed well with previous experimental results, which validated the correctness of ANM. To demonstrate the superiority of the ANM, the vibration frequencies of several abstract CBGCSWs with varying ratios of span–width, obtained using the elementary beam theory (EBT) and the finite element method (FEM), were compared with those obtained by ANM. The efficacy of the ANM was verified and some meaningful conclusions were drawn which are helpful to relevant engineering design, such as the observation that a higher natural vibration frequency and smaller span–width ratio significantly magnified the shear lag effect of CBGCSW. The first five-order natural vibration frequencies of the CBGCSW were significantly lower than those of the composite box girder bridge with general steel web (CBGGSW), which indicates that the impact of the accordion effect is significant.
