Abstract: |
The time-varying three-dimensional dynamics model of high-speed-track-bridge-pier system is established under the combined effect of vertical and horizontal near-fault ground motions in this paper. The dynamic model of vehicle with 38 DOFs is adopted; the spatial beam element is utilized for simulating box girders and piers, the wheel-rail contact model is presented. A MATLAB code “Train-Track-Bridge Dynamic Analysis” (TTBDA) is developed to compute the seismic responses of bridge and train running safety indexes. A case study analysis of a sixteen car vehicle passing over a super-large bridge at various speeds is carried out. The results indicate that the near-fault pulse-like ground motions can significantly increase the running safety response demand as compared with the non-pulse earthquakes. |
