By the experiment on dynamic performance of long-span steel arch bridge, the natural frequency and dynamic responses of the 140m steel box-section tied arch bridge over the Ting Si River Bridge in the Wuhan-Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line are tested. the tested results of the bridge dynamic responses show that the bridge structure can meet the security requirements when CRH2 EMU runs on it in the speed of 250 to 350km/h.the lateral and vertical stiffness are larger, the vertical and lateral natural frequencies and the other dynamic performances of the bridge can meet the requirements of the relevant norms, When the CRH2 EMU runs across the steel box-section arch bridge in different speeds

Based on the anti-seismic research achievements of tired arch bridge at home and abroad, taking River City Bridge in Jilin as an example, a finite element model is established for dynamic performance analysis by general finite element software midas civil. Natural vibration characteristics of tied arch bridge are calculated as a basis for further dynamic calculation. Firstly, choose appropriate seismic waves according to the geological data. Then perform the dynamic response analysis of this bridge under different loading cases. Dynamic responses of this bridge under longitudinal and transverse seismic waves are studied respectively, and the influence of vertical seismic wave is also considered. It is shown that the influence on seismic response of vertical seismic waves is very obvious. The vertical seismic waves should be considered while doing seismic design of tied arch bridges.

The general track spectrum of Chinese main railway lines (ChinaRLS) and the track spectrum of American railway lines (AmericaRLS) are compared in terms of character of frequency domain, statistical property of time domain samples and dynamic performance. That the wavelength range of the ChinaRLS, which is characterized by the three levels according to the class of railway line, is less than AmericaRLS at common wave band of 1~50m is calculated. Simultaneously, the mean square values of two kinds of track spectra are provided at the detrimental wave bands of 5~10m, 10~20m, and so on. The time-histories of ChinaRLS and AmericaRLS are simulated according to the trigonometric method, and the digital statistical nature of simulated time samples is analyzed. With inputting the two kinds of time-histories into the vehicle-railway system, the comparative analysis of the two kinds of dynamic performances for ChinaRLS and AmericaRLS is done in terms of car body acceleration, rate of wheel load reduction, wheel/rail force, and the dynamic responses of track structure. The result shows that ChinaRLS can characterize the feature of the Chinese track irregularity better than AmericaRLS, the track irregularity with the ChinaRLS of 200km/h is superior to the AmericaRLS, and the track irregularity with the ChinaRLS of 160km/h corresponds to with the sixth of AmericaRLS.

Large-span V structure tied arch bridge structure system is complex. In order to make the actual state of the bridge into the ideal state of maximum close to the design, we must make real-time monitoring in the key parts of the structure, and adjust to the design of the data by analysis calculated, to ensure the safety and reliability of arch bridge in the course of construction and into stress after the completed bridge. Combined with the construction monitoring of the main Xinglong Bridge on Si River, this paper introduces the main bridge construction process measurement a preliminary study on the large span V configuration basket tied arch bridge construction monitoring technology. Based on the construction monitoring of Xinglong Bridge on Si River, this paper introduces the main contents and methods of monitoring point location, monitoring control of construction process, and discussed the construction monitoring technology of long-span X-style tied arch bridge V structure.

The prestressed concrete deck-tied arch bridge doesn’t only have a long span, good appearance and economy, but also have the characteristics of low requirements to the foundation. It changes traditional tied arch bridge into deck-tied arch bridge, which looks like sunflower-shaped arch and prestressed steel strands are embedded in box girder on the top of the arch. Taking Yingbin Bridge as engineering background, the reasonable analysis model was established and behaviour of the bridge under design load was analyzed. The results shown that the design project is reasonable, prestressing force embedded in box girder can balance horizontal thrust in arch bridge effectively, improving the internal force of the main arch ring.

Long-span bridges are always a multi-support structural system, and seismic ground motion can vary significantly over distances comparable to the length of such kind of bridges, so it’s difficult to carry out shaking table tests because of the restriction of the dimension and amount of shaking tables. This paper discusses the multiple sub-table cordwood system is used to conduct a study on the seismic testing of a three-span irregular Concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) arch bridge with the objective of investigating the dynamic performance of the bridge under spatial earthquake motions. The development and testing of the bridge model and selected experimental results are discussed then. The seismic response and response characteristics of acceleration, displacement, internal force, and strain of the structure under earthquake excitations are gained, which can provide test data and basis to evaluate the seismic performance of this CFST arch bridge or other similar structural system design.

Bridge redundancy is defined as the ability of a bridge system to continue to carry load after the failure of one or several structural components. A bridge will collapse progressively after the failure in some main components, if the bridge is in short of redundancy. The system factors for redundancy have been investigated in the design of the bridges with simple systems. However, there is no corresponding redundancy criteria established for the bridges with long span and complicated structural systems. This paper studied the superstructure of a through steel box tied arch bridge. The member failure state, ultimate limit state and functionality limit state were analyzed with ‘Step-by-Step’ procedure. Thus, the most critical component and weakest damaged systems are determined. It is concluded that this through steel box tied arch bridge has enough level of redundancy. This finding could be a reference for the design and maintenance for bridges with similar structural systems.

The present study investigates the parameter identification and the dynamic performance of a long-span bridge tower based on the output of a global positioning system (GPS) health monitoring system. The random decrement (RD) algorithm is used to estimate the tower displacement impulse response. Three methods are applied to extract the dynamic performance including least squares complex exponential (LSCE) method, Hilbert envelope method (HEM), and eigensystem realization algorithm (ERA). Results reveal that the HEM and LSCE method are more suitable to extract fundamental frequency and modal and damping ratios of the tower. Furthermore, the dynamic properties and statistical time series analysis of the GPS measurements illustrate that the traffic loads have a high significant impact on the semistatic and dynamic performances.
