Abstract: This paper calculated the seismic response of suspension arch bridge witch subject the seismic loads in longitudinal, transverse, vertical or their combination based on the dynamic characteristics analysis. The results indicated that the earthquake-resistance capability of suspension arch bridge were under-estimated while not considering damping and were over-estimated while not considering gravity stiffness. The conclusions provided necessary reference for study and design of suspension arch bridge.

Abstract: In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of short-span suspension arch bridge are analyzed, and the influence of parameters for constant-load variation, stiffness condition and displacement boundary condition to the dynamic characteristics is studied; the main design parameters of influencing dynamic characteristics of suspension arch bridge are put forward. The study results provide the theoretical basis for the optimization design of suspension arch bridge.
