Analysis for Influence of Structural System on Nonlinear Seismic Response of Cable-Stayed Bridge

Abstract:

For different structural system of cable-stayed bridge, the dynamic characteristics have obvious difference under seismic load. Dynamic time-history analysis of earthquake was applied, and the EI Centero seismic wave with modified peak acceleration was chose as the earthquake acceleration time-history input. As Jiangsu Siyang special-shaped single tower cable-stayed bridge for engineering background, considering geometric nonlinear of structure, the differences of dynamic characteristics of cable-stayed bridge structures were gained under two different situations. The single longitudinal seismic ground motion was chose under the first situation, while the longitudinal, lateral, and vertical seismic ground motion are introduced. For floating system, the displacements are the largest and the inner forces are the smallest. For rigid frame system, the displacements are the smallest and the inner forces are the largest. The others are not much difference. Comprehensively, semi-floating system has better performance under seismic load.
