AbstractThe assessment of the seismic behavior of the high-speed railway bridges is necessary because of the strategic essence of these structures. Evaluating and predicting damages of the bridges that originated by earthquakes with various intensities can provide useful information, which is very helpful in the management of the possible crises. One of the most useful mechanisms for estimating earthquake damages to these bridges is the development of fragility curves for them. Studies on the production of fragility curves on the high-speed railway bridges are limited. In this research, the fragility curve is plotted for two high-speed railway bridges with different pier heights. Due to the differences in the height of these bridges, a comparison of the performance of these structures is also shown. The model of the high-speed railway bridge was created for each model separately in the SeismoStruct software. The soil-structure interaction is also modeled as springs, and its effects are considered. Nonlinear models are also used to model concrete and steel materials. Then, the incremental dynamic analysis was performed under different ground motion records. By using the obtained data from the analysis, appropriate damage states were selected, and finally, the fragility curves were plotted for different performance limit states. The results showed that with increasing pier height, the damage index was raised and for a constant probability of exceedance, the taller pier is demanded a lower spectral acceleration to achieve a performance level.

Analysis and design of structures subjected to arbitrary dynamic loadings especially earthquakes have been studied during past decades. In practice, the effects of soil-structure interaction on the dynamic response of structures are usually neglected. In this study, the effect of soil-structure interaction on the dynamic response of structures has been examined. The substructure method using dynamic stiffness of soil is used to analyze soil-structure system. A coupled model based on finite element method and scaled boundary finite element method is applied. Finite element method is used to analyze the structure, and scaled boundary finite element method is applied in the analysis of unbounded soil region. Due to analytical solution in the radial direction, the radiation condition is satisfied exactly. The material behavior of soil and structure is assumed to be linear. The soil region is considered as a homogeneous half-space. The analysis is performed in time domain. A computer program is prepared to analyze the soil-structure system. Comparing the results with those in literature shows the exactness and competency of the proposed method.

Zusammenfassung In diesem Beitrag wird eine einfache Modellierungsstrategie zur schnellen und effizienten Berechnung der dynamischen Antwort von Brücken zufolge der Überfahrt mit Hochgeschwindigkeitszügen vorgestellt. Dabei wird sowohl die Boden-Bauwerk-Interaktion als auch die Wirkung des Zuges während der Zufahrphase auf das Tragwerk beziehungsweise nach dem Abfahren berücksichtigt. Im mechanischen Modell wird die Brücke als Bernoulli-Euler -Balken, welcher von den statischen Achslasten des Hochgeschwindigkeitszugs überfahren wird, beschrieben. Feder und Dämpfer an den Rändern des Balkens bilden das Verhalten des Untergrunds ab. Die Ergebnisse eines Anwendungsbeispiels zeigen, dass die Boden-Bauwerk-Interaktion die berechnete dynamische Antwort wesentlich beeinflusst.
