Abstract:

Taking a concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) arch bridge with a clear span of 400 m as an example, the in-depth analysis of its natural vibration characteristics is carried out by establishing a finite element model. Then, the three-dimensional El Centro recorded wave after amplitude modulation is taken as the excitation wave; the structural response under three kinds of single dimension and four kinds of multidimensional combined excitation and 0∼90° transformation X(longitudinal) + Y(transverse) orthogonal combined excitation is evaluated. The results show that the structure of long-span top-supported arch bridge extends in the longitudinal and vertical dimensions at the same time, and the mode shape density and mass distribution have multidirection and multiangle coupling. With the increase of excitation dimensions, the value and relative ratio of chord axial force increase. The maximum axial force ratio of X + Y to X and Y is 2.1, the maximum axial force ratio of X + Y + Z (longitudinal) to X + Y, X + Z, and Y + Z is 1.4, 1.8, and 1.8; the displacement in X and Y direction under combined excitation is independent and the displacement in Z direction is its coupling term, but the displacement under X + Y + Z combined excitation is only 10% larger than that under X + Z and Y + Z combined excitation. Under the combined excitation of X + Y with a changing angle of 0°∼90°, the axial force variation of the chord at different positions and on the same section of the arch rib has spatial characteristics. The variation range of upper and lower rod axial force varies from 0.63 to 1.35 and from 0.81 to 1.51, respectively, the change trend of displacement in the X and Y directions is relatively consistent, the change of displacement in the Z direction is asynchronous, and the displacement of vault section increases by one time. The seismic response of this bridge type under multidimensional and multiangle excitation shows obvious superposition.
