Significant Difference

Based on response spectrum method, the seismic behavior of a long span cable-stayed bridge is investigated through three dimensional finite element model established by ANSYS. By calculating the cumulative effective mass factors of the bridge, the minimum number of modes used for modal superposition analysis is obtained. Design acceleration response spectrums under two probabilities are used in the analysis. The response spectrums are input in the bridge longitudinal direction, vertical direction, transverse direction and combined horizontal and vertical directions. Displacements and internal forces results show that vertical component of the ground motion greatly influences the response of the bridge and there is significant difference between the results of the two probabilities.

Seismic Property

Anti-seismic property was essential in the progress of bridge designing and construction due to destructive power of earthquake disaster and increasing span of bridge. This paper elaborated theory method of analysis, taking five spans continuous cable-stayed bridge which was half floating system as an engineering background, and using method of special finite element analysis to calculating dynamic characteristics and seismic response respectively which also considered longitudinal limit damping and stiffness of cable under longitudinal, transverse, vertical and three-dimensional seismic oscillation. Fundamental frequency of cable-stayed bridge was affected significantly with considering longitudinal limit damping, so connection measures would be determined reasonably in designing and analyzing anti-seismic property of long-span cable-stayed bridge. When response spectrum analysis was adopted, longitudinal and vertical displacement were larger than lateral displacement under longitudinal seismic oscillation, lateral seismic oscillation only affected the structural lateral displacement, and vertical seismic oscillation affected vertical and longitudinal displacement.

According to the seismic performance of cable-stayed bridge with a project example, using finite element analysis method, establishing the space beam element and link element calculation model, the dynamic characteristic and the seismic response of the cable-stayed bridge with selected three earthquake waves were calculated, the results were compared with the of the response spectrum method.The results show that:the semi-floating system of cable-stayed bridge is great flexibility, the vibration cycle is generally longer; the results by using the response spectrum method are smaller; the cable-stayed bridge should be calculated in accordance with the specific circumstances of the project with multiple seismic waves.

The response of the long-span cable-stayed bridges under seismic load is complex. Reasonable methods is very important to analyze the seismic performance. In this paper, a practical project is taken as research background which is double pylon cable-stayed bridge with main span of 416m. Two artificial seismic waves and two seismic records were selected to analyze the seismic behaviors by the response spectrum method, time history analysis method and power spectrum method. The result shows that seismic responses of the girder and main tower are basically identical under the effect of artificial seismic wave. The response spectrum analysis results of them are between the other two methods under the effect of the natural seismic wave. For stay cable, time history analysis results has great difference compared with results of other two methods. Therefore, different methods should be choosed base on specific circumstances to analyse the earthquake response of this structure.

By response spectrum method, superposition method based elastic time-history analysis and nonlinear time-history analysis of Newmark-β based linear increasing acceleration method, the finite element models of frame piers 21#~29# of the Ziya River Bridge on Tianjin to Baoding railway are established, and an assistant program code is generated to analyze seismic response of the frame pier. Results indicate that the vibration modes of frame piers are scattered. Only a few modes would be aroused in a narrow band spectrum. And the seismic response obtained by the response spectrum method is generally 10%~20% smaller than which obtained by the elastic time-history analysis. Under seismic excitations along the longitudinal direction, the ratio of displacement difference between two columns to the maximum value is generally liner increased with the increasing of the girder deviation from the centre of the pier beam. And the plastic hinge yielding would occur both at the bottom and the top of pier columns under excitations of the transversal direction. As a result, taking more than 30 vibration modes into account is suggested in a seismic response analysis or design calculation for frame piers. A time-history analysis is recommended as well. The evaluation of earthquake resistant capability of the transversal direction should consider both the bottom and top of the columns, and the anti-seismic capability design of the longitudinal direction is one of the key points for frame piers in the ductility design.

Rigid Frame Bridge

The dynamic characteristics of Tukan Wujiang Bridge are analyzed numerically. The bridge, which is still under construction, is a continuous rigid frame bridge with high-piers and long-span in Wulong County, Chongqing, China. A spatial finite element model is established for the bridge with the finite element software ABAQUS. The natural vibration characteristics and effective modal participation mass of the bridge in the built-up case is obtained. The variation of dynamic characteristics of continuous rigid frame bridge subjected to the dynamic earthquake loading is studied, and the number of modes necessary to the vibration mode combination when applying the response spectrum method under the earthquake is obtained. In addition, the seismic response of the bridge is analyzed with both the response spectrum method and the time-history method, and the maximum response of structure under various probability of earthquake is obtained. The results of the two methods are compared. The comprehensive seismic performance of the bridge is analyzed and evaluated. The results show that the seismic performance of the rigid frame bridge satisfies the expected design performance.
