Earthquake is a kind of natural disaster which is difficult to predict and the damage degree is very great, occurrence of the strong motion often leads to the tremendous life and property loss. Bridge is an important part of the lifeline engineering, it is very necessary to conduct the comprehensive and systemic investigation on the bridge aseismic. In this paper, a 670.56m span cable-stayed bridge was chosen as object of study, the FEM model of it was established, and the dynamic characteristic and nonlinear seismic responses under uniform and traveling-wave excitations were systematic studied. The results show that: 1) the mode of connection between the pier, tower and the beam is crucial to the dynamic response of bridge which should be simulated correctly. 2) Its former 10 rank frequency are located very close which shows that more mode shape should be taken into account when dealing with the dynamic analysis. 3) The traveling-wave excitation has appreciable impact on such kind of cable-stayed bridge, especially on the more flexible component, which should be paid much attention to while design.

The finite element method model of a 670.56m span cable-stayed bridge was established and the dynamic characteristic and nonlinear earthquake-responses of it under uniform and traveling-wave excitations were systematic studied. Results show that: 1) its former 10 rank frequency are located very dense which shows that more modes shape should be considered when dealing with the dynamic analysis. 2) The traveling-wave excitation has greater effect on long-span cable-stayed bridge, especially on the more flexible component and great attention should be paid to the design of such kind of bridge.

Sutong Bridge

Computed Ruiz and Penzien power spectrum model of Sutong bridge site, used the multi-point excitation response analysis method to long span bridge, the additional mass method considering the fluid effect and equivalent viscoelastic boundary method considering the soil effect. As a result, for the pile - soil - water - structure model, the internal force of main tower of Sutong bridge response decreased tendency, the peak of tower internal force response had certain phase difference effect. In addition, different structure types of the bridge by the traveling wave effect the influence degree is different, some parts of the reaction may be increased ,the other may be reduced, so analyzing response of the long span cable-stayed bridge must be consider the traveling wave, the coherent and the local effect.

Earthquake is a kind of natural disaster which is difficult to predict and the damage degree is very great, occurrence of the strong motion often leads to the tremendous life and property loss. Bridge is very important lifeline engineering and it is very necessary to conduct the comprehensive and systemic investigation on the bridge aseismic. In this paper, the FEM model of a long-span cable-bridge was established; the dynamic characteristic and nonlinear seismic responses under uniform and non-uniform excitations of it were systematic studied. The results show that: 1) the basic cycle of it is about 8.881s. Its first mode of vibration is longitudinal floating mode, which is favorable to the earthquake-response of structures. 2) Its former 40 rank frequency are located between 0.1~2Hz which is avail to the condition of traffic condition.3) the geometric nonlinearity has much influence on the response of this kind of bridge.4) the seismic responses are sensitive to the frequency spectra of the input earthquake wave. 5) The traveling wave excitations are unfavorable to the design of tower and the main girder when considering the three orthogonal seismic wave input. In order to get correct results, artificial seismic wave of the bridge address is necessary to the time-history analysis.

Wind Induced Vibration

The stayed cable is the key part of the cable-stayed bridge and the main bearing section. Stay cables are prone to vibration under the loads of the rains winds, earthquakes and transportation for the long-span bridge is very flexible and the damping is small. A long time effect of cable vibration on the structure durability has become a serious problem of cable-stayed bridge in the development and operation. Wind induced vibration of stay cable shape is analyzed, and some common damping measures are expounded in the article and it provides the basis for further study in the future.

Large Mass Method

In this paper, non-uniform dynamic analysis of a cable-stayed bridge is carried out using the large mass method. The Ed Yangtze River highway bridge, constructed in Hubei province, is chosen as a numerical example. In the non-uniform dynamic analysis, various wave velocities are used for the travelling ground motion. Displacements and internal forces solutions obtained for the spatially varying ground motions are compared with those of the uniform excitation. It is observed that the velocity of the ground motion greatly influences the response of the bridge and the variability of the ground motions should be included in the time-history analysis of cable-stayed bridges.

Bridge Tower

The seismic responses under the action of far-fault and near-fault ground motions of the bridge tower structure of the long-span cable-stayed bridge are numerically discussed by means of the model of the bottom consolidation of the column. The results show that the responses of tower of the cable-stayed bridge correlate well with the properties of the ground motions. The seismic responses of the model have much larger values under the near-fault velocity pulse-like ground motions than those of the counterpart. The frequency of system reduces as the flexibility of structure decreases because of the rigid foundation; The displace response of tower shows that the rigid foundation has little influence on the seismic response of the cable-stayed bridge, while the acceleration response of the tower implies that rigid foundation has adverse effect. Thus, consideration of the soil-pile-superstructure interaction can be meaningful both in theory and reality during the seismic design of long-span cable-stayed bridge structure.

Random Seismic Response

Based on the orthogonal expansion method of stochastic processes, seismic acceleration processes can be represented as a linear combination of deterministic functions modulated by a set of mutually independent random variables. In conjunction with the probability density evolution method, the random seismic response of bridge structures can be successfully researched. A long-span bridge structure is taken as an example. The probabilistic information of the response of a long-span bridge structure in different control under earthquake excitations is investigated. The investigation provides a new approach to the random seismic response analysis of long-span bridge structures.
