In this paper, with the help of program Thufiber, fiber model is used to simulate bridge piers, solid element is used to simulate the superstructure in program MSC.Marc. The effects of the travelling wave on the nonlinear seismic response of the long-span continuous rigid-frame bridge with high piers are analyzed under 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake Wave excitation. The results show that travelling wave has much effect on displacement and shear force of high piers of the bridge. The displacement of the pier top decreases 20% to 50% and the shear force at the pier base increases from 20% to 30%.

Based on the time history analysis method, some curve long-span rigid frame bridge with super high pier in Sichuan was taken as the studying case, and a studying of natural vibration characteristics and seismic response. Comparative study was emphasis carried on seismic performance between the partial curve bridge and the straight. In addition, the exhaustive research to about between crosswise relation to the structure overall rigidity contribution and to the structure and the seismic performance influence is conducted. The conclusion of the study shows that the seismic performance of the straight long-span rigid frame bridge with super high pier is surpassing the curve bridge. The curve linear has little influence to the base frequency of this kind of structure, and The rigidity is mainly effected by the bridge pier. If additionally builds the crosswise relation between the structure, the dynamic characteristic of the structure will be improved greatly. The height of this type bridge has great influence on the dynamical stability, the height is lower and the dynamical stability is better, which is more advantageous to the structure seismic behavior.

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.
