Seismic Analysis of a Water Release Integrated Structure Part II: Time History Analysis of Service Bridge Pier Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study the three dimensional finite element method is employed to analyze the time history response for the service bridge pier of a water release integrated structure under the minimum operation level and the normal storage water level in maximum design earthquake load condition. The Mexico seismic curve is provided to perform the time history analysis for the present project. The temporal integration of time history analysis is carried out by the Newmark method and the stress, deformation results of the service bridge pier structure is discussed in detail.
