Seismic Design Research of Simply Supported Rail-Bridge Based on Running Safety

Article Preview

Abstract:

To explore the practical rail-bridge seismic design methods, dynamic response analysis model of the train-rail-bridge system under seismic loads was established, and the widely used simply supported track-bridge in rail transport was taken for the study. By inputting different intensity and frequency artificial seismic waves to the train-rail-bridge system, the whole history of the vehicles running through the bridge is simulated and the dynamic responses of the bridge and the vehicles are calculated. The influence of train type, seismic intensity and spectral characteristics of the earthquake were analyzed. Taking Japanese traffic safety evaluation indexes including derailment coefficient, wheel offload rate and lateral wheel-rail force as evaluation criteria, the allowed lateral bridge displacement limits and acceleration limits that ensuring train running safety under earthquake were obtained, and the bridge vibration limit curve was drawn. Using Lagrange interpolation method, the mathematical expression of the curve was worked out, which can provide a reference to rail-bridge aseismic design.
