In this paper, the responses of high-speed railway bridge subjected to seismic load were investigated by numerical simulation. Elastic deformation will occur in the bridge system under low-level earthquake; however, the bridge system may enter a nonlinear stage under high-level earthquake. The whole finite element model of the bridge system was set up by means of ANSYS software and self-compiled moment-curvature relationship program, the elastic seismic responses of bridge system and the elastic-plastic deformation of piers considering different vehicle speeds are calculated respectively. The calculation results show that, the earthquake responses of bridge system are increase in general with the increase of vehicle speed and earthquake intensity, and the bottom of piers step into elastic-plasticity stage under high-level earthquake, the plastic hinges occurred at the pier bottom, the pier bottom step into the plastic stage, some measures such as lateral reinforced steel encryption should be taken into account to ensure safety.

Fatigue Evaluation

Steel-truss-arch bridges have been applied in high-speed railway bridges due to their excellent dynamic and static structural performance. Under the action of high-speed trains, the steel connections between hangers and decks suffer from repeated stresses, inducing potential fatigue problems or even fatigue failure. In this study, a multiaxial fatigue evaluation method was first created and established based on critical damage-plane methodology, following which the fatigue evaluation procedure was also created and recommended. The methodology was applied to real-life strain data from a high-speed railway bridge from which an assessment of fatigue damage and predicted fatigue life was estimated. The connection between the shortest hanger and deck on the downstream side was selected as the target due to its relatively high stress. A multiscale finite-element model of this bridge was created according to the design profile and monitoring results of traffic flow, where the finite-element model was calibrated and validated by comparing the calculation results with the monitoring data. Influence analysis was then carried out to investigate two factors—i.e., the total traffic flow and compositions of freight trains—having effects on the fatigue life of the steel connection. The results indicate that the applied multiaxial fatigue method is suitable for online fatigue evaluation of actual bridges. In addition, by using the multiaxial fatigue method, the fatigue-damage accumulation rate can be nearly 60 times that obtained by the uniaxial fatigue method. If freighting is taken into consideration, the fatigue damage will increase rapidly, and for the case 10% of proportion traffic as freighting, the actual fatigue life is estimated to be shorter than the design life.

Rail Irregularities

Rail irregularity is the leading cause of enhancing train-track coupling vibration and, therefore, should be studied in detail for safety requirements. In this study, the differences between existing rail irregularities without being subjected to an earthquake between different countries were first studied. Results show that existing power spectrum density and time-domain displacement samples of rail irregularities in the American code are the largest, while the irregularities of the Germany railway are higher than those of China in a specific range of rail wavelengths. Afterward, the effects of earthquake intensity, soil site, and duration on the rail irregularity of a Chinese typical high-speed railway bridge were investigated. For this purpose, a finite element model was established and validated by the shaking table test of a 1/12-scaled high-speed railway bridge experimental specimen. The calculation results indicated that the influences of earthquakes on the rail alignment irregularity were evident.

Structural Measure

In the construction of high-speed railway bridge, the stress of Bailey beam is much higher than that of other parts due to the large local compressive stress and bending moment at the fulcrum. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a structural measure of adding double I-steel cushion between Bailey beam and top beam to alleviate the larger stress at the fulcrum and make the support more uniform. Based on the Bailey beam support system of cast-in-situ high-speed railway bridge of Lianshui County super large bridge, the multi-scale finite element model of Bailey beam support is established by ABAQUS general finite element software, and the influence law of structural parameters of double-jointed I-steel cushion on support stress is analyzed. The research shows that the rigidly of the double-jointed I-beam cushion should not be too large or too small. When the length is appropriate, it can effectively alleviate the problem of excessive stress at the fulcrum of Bailey beam, and is a safe, economical and simple new structural measure.

Aerodynamic Brake

With the rapid development of high-speed railway in China, the aerodynamic brake is very likely to be an important emergency braking mode of high-speed train in the future. This paper takes aerodynamic braking wing as the object, and uses the finite element software to divide the meshes, then analyses the model influenced by static stress. After simulating the vibratory frequency response of the model in the flow field, it finds that the largest deformation happens in the middle of the upper edge of the wind wing, when the wind speed gets to 500km/h and the load frequency to 4Hz. Some conclusions of this thesis can provide reference for researching the applying the aerodynamic brake in the high-speed trains and laying the foundation for solving the riding and braking safety problems.

Earthquake Response Analysis

Based on properties of high-speed railway bridge and rail system restraints, the rail-bridge model is established by considering CRTS II unballasted track and bridge structure. The results show that the effect of CRTS II system restraints on seismic response for multi-span simply supported girder bridge is greater so the rail-bridge model should be adopted in earthquake response analysis. Due to the effect of longitudinal stiffness of the railway and bridge transitional section such as terminal spine, the more significant is unloading for seismic response of the side piers if the fewer is the number for the rear-structure spans.

Typical Layout

The values of longitudinal horizontal linear-stiffness of piers are very important parameters in the design of welded turnout on bridge and they can have a great impact on the force and displacement of the turnout. The layout form of turnout and bridge of welded turnout structure system on high-speed railway bridges are various, so the values of longitudinal horizontal linear-stiffness of piers have to be limited in order to insure the strength and stability of track structure on bridges and at the same time meet the requirement of comparative displacement of beam and rail, turnout proper and frog. To make the value-taking easy in the design process, a finite element model for welded turnout-bridge-platform is established in this paper, which is based on the principle of longitudinal interaction of welded turnout on bridges. Directing at three typical layout forms (No.18 single turnout+4×32m continuous beam, single crossover+6×32m continuous beam and typical throat point+4×32m continuous beam) of welded turnout and bridge on ballast track, a research of the relation between the force and displacement of turnout, and the values of longitudinal horizontal linear-stiffness of piers has been carried out. Based on the comprehensive analysis, minimal values of longitudinal horizontal linear-stiffness of piers which are suitable for these three kinds of layout forms, and the values are 1000,800 and 1600 kN/cm·double-line respectively.

In order to meet the requirements of high-speed train's safe operation, the horizontal displacement of high-speed railway bridge pier top must be strictly controlled. This paper relies on one road construction engineering beneath an existing high-speed railway bridge. We use 2D finite element software to analyze the magnitude and direction of pier top horizontal displacement caused by road load. We take it into account that the effect of the soil nature on pier top horizontal displacement. The analysis showed that the nature of soil around piles of high-speed railway bridge is closely related to the magnitude and direction of the pier top horizontal displacement. Authors believe that the horizontal displacement of pier top consists of two parts. One is pier top pure horizontal displacement dragged by horizontal displacement of the top of piles, the other is pier top rotation horizontal displacement driven by the rotation of pile cap. The analysis result can be used for the design of road with embankment structure beneath high-speed railway bridge.
