Transient response of bridge piers under eccentric impact of near-fault earthquake

Abstract To study the influence of near-fault earthquake on pier failure, establish a double-span continuous girder bridge. The seismic response of the bridge is calculated using the transient wave function expansion method and the indirect mode function superposition method. Solve the dynamic and d...

description Abstract To study the influence of near-fault earthquake on pier failure, establish a double-span continuous girder bridge. The seismic response of the bridge is calculated using the transient wave function expansion method and the indirect mode function superposition method. Solve the dynamic and displacement responses, and the effect of the vertical separation of the bridge on the eccentric compression of the pier is analyzed. The results show that under the near-fault vertical seismic action, the separation can significantly change the horizontal deformation at the top of the pier, and neglecting the separation may underestimate the eccentric compression of the pier. Calculations for different pier heights and girder spans show that separation has a greater effect on the longitudinal deformation of the pier top. Therefore, the reasonable design of longitudinal limit device on pier top in the near-fault area is helpful to reduce the damage of eccentric bridge impact.
