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.

Monitoring and controlling of vertical construction for main arch ribs is most important for concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) arch bridges due to high risk. Controlling the difference of elevation between the two main arch ribs has direct influence on the mechanical behavior of lateral brace, towers and temporary hinges at arch abutments of main piers. Therefore, transverse synchronization control is the main priority in vertical rotating construction phase. Taking a half-through CFST arch bridge in Shijiazhuang City as an example, this paper make a study of transverse synchronization control of the two main arch ribs during vertical rotation. The finite element method (FEM) software-Midas is employed to simulate the main arch ribs in rotation construction phase, and maximum value of the difference of elevation between the two main arch ribs is obtained to offer reference and basis of vertical rotation construction of this bridge.

In recent years, concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) was developed and used extensively in civil engineering in China. In this paper, the method for stability analysis of long-span CFST arch bridge was introduced. Based on Jingyang River Bridge in Hubei province of China and finite element method, the spatial model was set up. Both linear and nonlinear stability of long-span CFST arch bridge in construction process were analyzed. The result indicated the influence of geometrical nonlinearity was small and the influence of material nonlinearity was evident. So, for analyzing the stability of long-span CFST arch bridge, the influence of geometrical nonlinearity and material nonlinearity must be considered at the same time. The results of paper were used to provide the basis for the construction control of the bridge.

In view of the demand of 800 meters Super Long Span CFST arch bridge, the composite bridge of CFST flying swallow arch and self-anchored suspension cable is proposed. The thrust of flying-bird CFST arch bridge and the tension of self-anchored suspension bridge are balanced, forming a self-balanced structure system. The arch rib structure is mainly stressed, supplemented by the self-anchored suspension system, which works together and has complementary advantages. Using the single leaf hyperboloid variable section steel tube four limb space truss arch rib structure, the self-weight of the mid span arch rib section structure is reduced, the risk of construction and hoisting of the mid span section is reduced, the section size at the arch foot is increased, the mass center and stiffness center of the arch bridge structure are effectively reduced, and the stability of the super long span concrete-filled steel tube arch bridge is increased. Combined with the actual project, the parameters are designed, the Midas finite element model is established, the internal force analysis and calculation, modal analysis and buckling analysis are carried out, and the superiority of the structural technical measures is verified.

In construction stage, a large buffeting response would endanger construction safety and quality for a long span concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) arch bridge. Developing the study on buffeting security is indispensable to CFST arch bridge in construction stage. Combining random vibration analysis of structure with modern probability theory, taking an actual large span CFST arch bridge as example, dynamic reliability of buffeting responses research and analysis is developed, which is based on the buffeting analysis on time domain at the longest cantilever construction stage. The paper gives quantitative valuation on wind-vibration safety performance of the bridge in construction phase and offers a new thought and reference for homologous project.

Seismic analysis of concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) arch bridge based on finite element method is a time-consuming work. Especially when uncertainty of material and structural parameters are involved, the computational requirements may exceed the computational power of high performance computers. In this paper, a seismic analysis method of CFST arch bridge based on artificial neural network is presented. The ANN is trained by these seismic damage and corresponding sample parameters based on finite element analysis. In order to obtain more efficient training samples, a uniform design method is used to select sample parameters. By comparing the damage probabilities under different seismic intensities, it is found that the damage probabilities of the neural network method and the finite element method are basically the same. The method based on ANN can save a lot of computing time.

Based on reliability theory, the application calculation method of Concrete Filled Steel Tube (CFST) arch bridge system reliability index is studied. Select the most unfavorable load distribution in working condition of maximum moment and deflection at the mid-span, from the angle of strain energy, calculated the weights of CFST arch ribs component. On the basis of the grading standards of reliability assessment of the existing bridge components and the critical structures, CFST arch bridge system reliability assessment grading standards are constructed. CFST arch bridges reliability index are evaluated from two aspects (the arch ribs and segment) in this article. As the CFST arch bridge locates in the marine environment, corrosion environment is the serious level of C5-M, steel pipe corrosion is the major diseases of CFST, arch rib which on the corrosion conditions were assessed. The results show that the method can effectively assess the situation of CFST arch bridge.

Concrete Filled Steel Tube(CFST) is widely used in civil engineering structures because of its superior mechanical performance. Yet the mechanical behavior of CFST is highly depended on the construction quality of the filled concrete. Hence it is very important for the inspection of the construction quality of the filled concrete in CFST structures. In this paper, the ultrasonic testing technique was used to detect the defect of the filled concrete of a CFST arch bridge. During the inspection, the ultrasonic transducer was moved along the circumference of the cross-section of the arch, and the defect of the concrete was comprehensively judged by detecting the change of sonic time, sonic amplitude and sonic frequency. Based on the analysis of the ultrasonic transmission path, the influences of different defects on the sonic time, sonic amplitude and sonic frequency were discussed. The detecting results were verified by core-drilling method. The verification showed that different kinds of defects defected by ultrasonic testing was in good accordance with the drilling samples, which demonstrates the adaptability of the ultrasonic detection technique in the construction quality inspection of CFST structures.
