Influence Law of Middle Tower on Mechanical Performance of Three-Tower Self-Anchored Suspension Bridge

Article Preview

Abstract:

To multi-tower suspension bridge, reasonable design of middle tower is very important. In this paper, a three-tower self-anchored suspension bridge (TSSB) was taken as research background. The effect of middle tower stiffness and mass on static and dynamic performance of TSSB was discussed. Through dynamic characteristic analysis, we got the modes whose nature frequencies were affected obviously by middle tower stiffness. The seismic parameter analysis showed that rigid and light weight middle tower was benefit to seismic performance of TSSB. At last, this paper concludes that designer should consider static and dynamic performance of TSSB comprehensively in the design of middle tower.
