Seismic Response of a Viaduct under near-Fault Earthquakes

Abstract:

Abundant long-periodic components endue near-fault earthquakes with large velocity pulses while the viaducts owe long periodic fundamental period. To explore the seismic response patterns of viaducts under near-fault earthquakes, the paper analyzed the time history response of a viaduct under near-fault seismograms including TCU 1063, TCU 065, El centro and Artificial wave via FEM software Civil. The analysis shows a significant boost in near-fault seismic response as the value of PGV/PGA increased accordingly, indicates that the near-fault pulse affects strongly on the structural dynamic response of the viaducts.
