Seismic Response Analysis of Railway Continuous Curved Rigid Frame Bridges

Article Preview

Abstract:

To study the effects of seismic waves directions on bridges, the time history analytic method was used. Two bridge types, the railway continuous curved rigid frame bridge and the railway continuous straight rigid frame bridge, have been taken into account. Both the two same span bridges were used for comparative analysis about free vibration and seismic response feature, then some practical application conclusions were obtained. The longitudinal and transversal seismic waves produce the maximum reaction values. Besides, the pier bottom sections and the beam sections at the piers top are the critical sections in the bridges. In addition, this small radius curved bridge can be designed as the straight bridge in seismic design.
