Fuzzy Assessment Method for Seismic Damage of CFST Arch Bridges

In order to investigate the conditions of damage and failure of concrete-filled steel tube(CFST) arch bridges, considering the structural and mechanical characteristics of CFST arch bridges, the dual damage criteria assessment models of the various components based on deformation or strength and energy were developed. The nonlinear seismic response of CFST arch bridges was analyzed by finite element method and the fuzzy evaluation method of seismic damage based on fuzzy theory and analytic hierarchy process was studied. Finally, taking a long-span CFST arch bridge as example, the damage index of the bridge was 0.150, 0.152, 0.172 and 0.318 respectively when the seismic peak acceleration was respectively 0.1g, 0.2g, 0.4g and 0.8g. The results show that the CFST arch bridge is slightly damaged under the earthquake when the seismic peak acceleration is 0.4g, and the bridge is damaged moderately when the peak acceleration is 0.8g.     

Seismic Response Analysis of Transmission Tower-line System under Multi-component Ground Motion Excitations

Seismic responses of power transmission tower-line system under multi-component excitations were analyzed by numerical simulation. A three-dimensional finite element model of transmission tower-line coupled system considering the geometric nonlinearity of transmission line was established. Twelve seismic records of different soil types were selected based on Code for Design of Seismic of Electrical Installations. Seismic responses of power transmission tower-line system under single component, two horizontal component and multi-component excitations were investigated using nonlinear time history analysis method, respectively. The results show that the responses of transmission tower-line system under multi-component excitations are significantly larger than those under single component excitation only, especially for considering vertical ground motion excitation only, and neglecting multiple nature of ground motion in analysis will underestimate the responses of the structure. To obtain an accurate seismic response and a better seismic design of transmission tower-line system, multi-component ground motion inputs need to be considered. The results provide reference for seismic design of transmission line practical engineering.

Effects of Response Spectra Dispersion of Earthquake Ground Motions on Probabilistic Seismic Demand Assessment of Bridge Structures

A three-span regular continuous RC girder highway bridge and two bins of real accelerograms were selected for incremental dynamic analysis to study the correlation of the dispersions of response spectra of earthquake ground motions and probabilistic seismic demand assessments of bridge structures. It is found that the dispersions of seismic demands are closely related to the dispersions of response spectra of selected ground motions. The rational selection of real earthquake ground motions to be rationally chosen for dynamic analysis can make the probability distribution of seismic demands in accordance with the real situation and improve the computational precision and efficiency of the probabilistic seismic demand assessment and fragility curve for performance-based earthquake engineering and seismic design of bridges based on probability theory.

Wind Tunnel Tests of Long Span Half - through Arch Bridge Section Model

Wind induced vibration is one of the main control factors in the Long span bridge structure design. The wind tunnel tests for measuring the static wind forces on the bridge girder and the section model wind tunnel dynamic testing for Caiyuanba Yangtze River Bridge in Chongqing are introduced in this paper. The wind tunnel testing for measuring static wind forces and vortex- induced vibration test on the arch are introduced taking account of the influence between two arches. The main contents and outcomes of testing are presented. It is indicated that the bridge girder has excellent wind stability and the arch mechanical characters are rather complicated. The drag force on the hind arch varied a lot because of the font arch interference on the wind flow. The drag force on the hind arch will be negative when two arches are close to each other. It increases with the space of two arches. The results of testing will give the data of buffeting and vortex - induced vibration and flutter analysis of the bridge.     

Seismic Performance and Failure Process of Long-Span Bridge With High Piers

Based on OpenSEES platform, elastic-plastic structural model of long-span bridge with high piers is established. This paper utilizes time-history analysis method to analyze seismic responses of bridge under consistent or multi-support seismic excitation.

The failure mode for high piers assumes bending failure, and the failure for top of pier is frequently prior to that of pier bottom, which should be paid enough attention.

选取新西兰Canterbury地区12个强震台站及2010—2012年间的台站584条记录,以浅硬场地LPCC作为参考台站,系统分析Christchurch市区软厚场地地震效应(即场地放大函数)的不确定性及地震动强度、震级、震源距及震源方位角等因素对场地放大函数不确定性的影响规律。分析结果发现：1)地震动强度水平对场地放大函数均值影响较小,仅在长周期(如大于1.0 s)段趋于增大场地的放大效应;以不同地震动强度值进行分组,地震动强度大于0.6 m/s 2的分组场地放大函数标准差显著高于地震动强度小于0.6 m/s 2分组,特别是地震动强度大于1.0 m/s 2时场地放大函数标准差最大,反映了场地土层非线性提高场地地震效应的不确定性;2)地震震级对场地放大函数不确定性影响小,不同地震震级分组场地放大函数均值及标准差的表现基本相当;3)震源距是场地地震反应不确定性的一个重要因素,震源距小于5 km时场地放大函数的标准差明显大于其它情况,即震源距越小地震反应不确定性越大;4)场地放大函数不确定性与震源方位角的选取基本无关,即选取不同的震源方位角场地放大函数标准差无明显差别。     

Aerostatic stability analysis of long span half-through arch bridges

The main arch of a long-span arch bridge is a compression member. The static wind loads on the bridge not only causes changes of dynamic characters, but also leads the structure to collapse or buckling. Especially, when the arch bridge has longer span and less lateral braces,its stability is much different from the long span cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges. This paper takes Chongqing Caiyuanba Yangzi River Bridge as a typical example and conducted the wind section tunnel tests. The displacement response of the bridge is obtained and its yield and static stability mechanism under static wind is analyzed. The results show that those factors, such as initial attack angle of the static wind, material yield strength and the static forces coefficients, have great effects on the aerostatics stability of a long span half-through arch bridge.

Effects of Spherical Joint Stiffness on Seismic Response of Single-Layer Cylindrical Reticulated Shell Changing with Peak Ground Acceleration

The previous studies find that the hollow spherical joint stiffness has a certain influence on seismic response of single-layer cylindrical reticulated shell. In order to analyze the rule of this influence with PGA (peak ground acceleration) changing, two types of finite element models are built. The two types of models have the same size except the spherical joint. The first type is a fine model built by shell element and its spherical joints and tubes are built by considering the real size; the other type is the common model which is built by beam element, and the spherical joints are neglected. Comparing with the seismic response of the two types of models when PGA changes, the results show the difference between the two types of model in node displacement-time curves is increased as PGA increases; when the PGA is larger than the collapse acceleration of structure, the influence of increasing joint wall thickness on improving the structural capacity of anti-stability is decreased as PGA increases.
