Seismic Performances of Mountainous Continuous Rigid Frame Solid and Hollow Pier Railway Bridges

Study on Design Method of Joint Panels for Hybrid Railway Rigid-frame Bridges

Computer Simulation of Buffeting Responses for Long-span Continuous Rigid-frame Bridge with Over-height Pier

The continuous rigid frame bridges are more sensitive to wind action with the increase of bridge span and pier height. In order to calculate the wind induced buffeting responses, the fluctuating wind field at bridge site are simulated by harmonic synthesis method and the wind loads are also derived based on the simplified quasi-steady theory, the time-history dynamic responses of the bridge are...

The Effect of Vertical Component of Earthquake on Continuous and Monolithic Frame Bridges

Performance of structures during recent earthquakes shows that the effect of vertical component of earthquake (VCE) could be considered as one of the main causes of bridges collapse. In most of bridge design codes, for seismic analysis of bridges, VCE is not taken into account or a distinguished method isn’t presented for assessment of VCE. In the present work, the effect of VCE on two existing...

Seismic Damage Study of Asymmetric Continuous Rigid Frame Bridge Based on Nonlinear Time History Analysis

Continuous rigid frame bridge is a common type of bridge in California, where is a seismically active areas. Main structural features of the bridge, including asymmetry, hinge structure, concretion of girder and piers affect the seismic response of the bridge significantly. In order to evaluate the safety of the bridge under earthquake, the nonlinear models of girder, limiting steels in hinge, ...
