Elasto-Plastic Earthquake Response Analysis of High-Speed Railway Bridge Fabricated Isolation Bearings

Article Preview

Abstract:

Basin rubber bearings are frequently used in high-speed railway bridge or passenger special line railway bridge, lead rubber bearings (LRB) are infrequently used in those railway bridges nowdays, the study on earthquake-resistant capability of railway bridge fabricated isolation bearing - the intelligent and functional structure - would be beneficial in engineering practices. Elasto-plastic earthquake responses of high-speed railway bridges fabricated LRB are studied by means of the finite element program, earthquake responses of railway bridges under high-speed vehicles and different earthquake action fabricated and unfabricated isolation bearing are calculated respectively. The results show that: plastic hinge will develop at the bottom of piers in regard to railway bridges with mid-high and low pier; LRB can reduce displacement and inner forces of structures and improve earthquake-resistant capability of structures effectively.
