Abstract:
The Ganhaizi Bridge is a multi-span bridge having continuous CFST truss girders and CFST composite piers. An FE model of the bridge has been established using the commercial program MIDAS/civil in order to study the elastic seismic response characteristics of this new-type bridge. The analysis results demonstrate that due to the relatively light self-weight of the bridge, its fundamental mode is actually a longitudinal mode having the frequency of 0.204Hz, which indicates a flexible bridge possessing of satisfactory seismic behavior. Meanwhile, the carrying capabilities of all the pier sections satisfy the seismic requirement. And the stress in the critical regions (such as the bottom of the high piers, the slant supports at the connections of the beams and piers, and the stiffness variation sections at the tops of the RC webs of the composite piers) also satisfies the seismic requirement. The concrete web plates at the bottoms of the composite piers participate in the seismic motions of the entire structure, resulting in the stress reduction of the pier tubes and thus improving the seismic performance of the bridge.
