Sensitivity Analysis on Dynamic Properties of Large Span Concrete-Filled Steel Tube Arch Bridge

Abstract:

The calculation formula of the vertical fundamental frequency of arch bridge has been given in current design codes, in which the rise-span ratio is the only variable on condition that the structure mass and stiffness are known. However, the dynamic properties of long-span concrete filled steel tube arch bridges have their own characteristics, which are influenced by a series of factors. Thus this article establishes a space model of a concrete-filled steel tube arch bridge. By analyzing the main design parameters’ influence on the structure dynamic properties, including rise-span ratios, arch-axis coefficient and wide-span ratios, some of conclusions has been made, which can be used for further research of the impact effect and earthquake dynamic response, and provide the necessary basis for the dynamic design of bridges of this kind
