Dynamic Response of Bridge Girder and Shear Keys Subjected to Pounding during Earthquakes

Article Preview

Abstract:

Shear keys have been widely used to control the damage in abutments and piles during earthquakes. To investigate the dynamic response of bridge girder and traverse shear keys subjected to pounding, a three dimensional model of continuous girder bridge is developed in this study. With the assistance of the finite element method program ANSYS and the package LS-DYNA, the pounding between bridge girder and shear keys is simulated. Subsequently, the stress and displacement responses of the model are analyzed, and the movement characteristics are presented.
