Research on Seismic Displacement Response of Cable Stayed Bridge without Back Stays

Article Preview

Abstract:

Seismic displacement response of cable stayed bridge without back stays was studied in this paper. Based on the cable stayed bridge without back stays on Zhenshui Road in Xinmi City, finite element method (FEM) was applied to calculate and analyze natural vibration and peak displacement response of the structure. The results show that with regard to mid-span and consolidation of pier and main tower, uniaxial seismic wave input results in peak displacement response of corresponding direction is bigger than that of any other direction. Peak displacement response of the top of the main tower is bigger than those of mid-span and consolidation of pier and main tower in any seismic wave input cases, which indicates that the top of the tower needs to be focused in the process of design and construction. Seismic wave along triaxial direction has the biggest impact on the structure. Keywords: cable stayed bridge without back stays; seismic displacement response; seismic wave input; peak displacement response
