Study on the Mechanical Behavior of Self-Centering Bridge under Horizontal Loading

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a self-centering bridge which is simplified as a deformation body ,while mechanical performance is still in the elastic range ,considering the influence of gravity pier ,the upper structure load ,prestressed tendons and dampers, the horizontal load vs. rotation curve of the self-centering bridge is obtained by theoretical derivation . The study for the self-centering bridge presented in this paper indicates that: under the cyclic loading hysteretic curve type is flag-shaped ,the prestressed tendons provide self-centering ability and dampers provide dissipating energy.
