For long span arch bridges, the traveling wave effect is an important aspect on seismic response of structure which cannot ignore. The Big Mass Method was used to analyze the seismic response of a half-through CFST arch bridge under both uniform and non-uniform excitations. The results showed that the traveling wave effect caused by non-uniform excitation led to more obvious seismic response in both internal forces and displacements. The skewback section was most dangerous. The waveform of internal forces caused by non-uniform excitation was quite similar to that caused by uniform excitation, but the amplitude of the latter is bigger than the former. It can conclude that the traveling wave effect would cause the unsynchronized vibration to the structure elements which led to the lager responses.

This paper investigates seismic responses of Xinguang Bridge, a 3-span continuous rigid-frame and steel-truss arch bridge. Earthquake excitation input is a key issue for the seismic analysis. This paper uses a finite element method to study the traveling wave effect on Xinguang Bridge and its interaction with the dynamic properties of the bridge under the condition of two steps and two levels probability. The seismic response of the bridge under the coincident earthquake excitation is also analyzed. Comparisons show that the seismic response of the long-span bridge by considering the traveling wave effect is much different from that under consistent earthquake excitation. The influence of the shear wave speed on the seismic response of the long span continuous bridge is also explored and the shear wave speed is found to greatly affect the wave shape and magnitude of the time-history of the longitudinal displacement at the crown of the main arch of the bridge. It is concluded that traveling wave effect and shear wave speed of ground have significant influences on the seismic response of the long span continuous rigid-framed and steel-truss arch bridge.

The Chengdong Hanjiang Bridge in Ankang City is a multi-span continuous beam-arch combination system bridge of (75+2×125+160+2×125+75) m, and its site is located in the earthquake zone. Calculation model based on Midas / Civil finite element software process analysis method is applied to seismic response analysis using power. At the same time, in order to influence the travelling wave effect and the seismic isolation system on the internal force of the bridge structure, corresponding finite element models were established and calculated with time history analysis. The finite element model under non-uniform excitation uses the “Large Mass Method” (LMM) for analysis and calculation under different wave velocity multi-point excitations. The results show that after considering the traveling wave effect, the displacement and bending moment of the control section of each hole increase, and the internal force of the fixed pier increases. When the wave velocity is 600m/s, the traveling wave effect strengthens the seismic response of the structure the most. With the increase of the wave velocity, the seismic response of the structure gradually approaches the seismic response under uniform excitation. After the friction pendulum seismic isolation support is used, it is fixed. The bending moment of Pier No.32 has been reduced by 80%, the stiffness of the whole bridge is more balanced, the forces of each pier are relatively close, and the isolation effect is good.

This paper, aiming at rigid-continuous girder bridge with high piers, uses the large mass method (LMM) to analyze the seismic response of such special structure under a series of different phase differences by considering both rigid foundation and elastic foundation models. In addition, this paper discusses the influence rules for extreme response of different parts of structure due to traveling wave effect. The result shows that traveling wave effect greatly affects the rigid-continuous girder bridge with high piers. When considering the traveling wave effect, the internal force of bridge piers presents increasing trend, and the displacement of pier top reduces with increasing phase differences. The internal force and extreme displacement response of bridge structure present cyclical variations with phase differences, and that cycle is consistent with the characteristic period of bridge.

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.

Longitudinal seismic responses of CWR on bridges with high-piers and long-spans under uniform excitation and traveling wave effect were studied. Results are shown as follows: Under seismic action, rail longitudinal forces near beam joints increase greatly than rail expansion forces (due to beam expansion); Designing CWR on bridges with high-piers and long-spans needs to consider influences of traveling wave effect and wave spreading derection; With the increase of the apparent velocity of seismic waves, rail longitudinal force tends to decrease; We suggest that designing of CWR on bridges crossing high-intensity earthquake zone should consider impact of seismic action, and establish a reasonable check method.
