连续刚构高低墩桥受力和变形分析

首先介绍研究高低墩特性的目的及意义,并对国内外关于高低墩动静力特性的研究现状进行概述;然后借助有限元软件ABAQUS建立5种不同高度的桥墩模型,并对其分别进行模态分析,提取其自振频率以及振型,分析其自振特点,再沿两个方向分别输入3组不同的地震动,对比分析结构的位移和加速度响应。研究表明：对于同一阶模态,桥墩高度的减小会导致其自振频率呈现增大的趋势;桥墩高度的变化会对较高阶振型产生影响;桥墩高度的减小可以显著减小结构的位移和加速度响应;地震动输入的不同带来的结构的位移响应和加速度响应的差异十分显著。     

基础非线性对桥墩地震反应的影响

在桩基础桥墩滞回特性的模型试验基础上,提出了用Clough模型模拟基础(地基)的恢复力特性。桥墩采用Takeda恢复力模型。用强震记录与人工合成地震动作为输入对铁路简支梁桥进行了非线性地震反应分析,讨论了不同地震动输入及不同地震强度时基础非线性对桥梁地震反应的影响。研究结果表明,考虑基础的非线性一般会使墩顶位移增大,而墩底的曲率明显减小,且随着地震动强度的增加,基础的非线性影响更加明显。     

The seismic response of a reinforced concrete bridge pier designed to step

A new technique to enhance the earthquake resistance of tall reinforced-concrete bridges is introduced whereby the tall piers are allowed to ‘step’ during a severe seismic attack. This means that each pier is free to rock from side to side with vertical separation of parts of the pier from the supporting foundations. This stepping action limits stresses in the reinforced-concrete piers to values below the yield levels and this should lead to a substantial reduction in the cost of providing earthquake resistance As part of a feasibility study, a 200 feet-high stepping pier is defined and its displacements are calculated for the ground accelerations of the 1940 El Centre earthquake, N-S component. With no damping present the computations give many ‘stepping’ separations of rather large extent. When the effects of internal structural damping are included in the analysis, there is little reduction in the stepping motions at the level of damping expected in the pier. However, when the computations include the effects of some energy-absorbing devices of a recently-developed type, installed between the pier and its foundations, the amplitude and number of the stepping cycles are considerably reduced.     

双薄壁高墩曲线连续刚构桥地震响应分析

为确定双薄壁高墩曲线连续刚构桥的自振特性和最不利地震激励方向,以某大跨径双薄壁高墩曲线连续刚构桥为实例,对其进行了自振特性和地震响应分析.应用MIDAS/Civil有限元软件建立了该桥空间有限元计算模型,采用数值仿真方法研究了墩底边界约束、曲率半径对该高墩曲线连续刚构桥结构自振特性的影响,探讨双薄壁高墩曲线连续刚构桥动力特性,并按照最不利地震激励方向分析双薄壁高墩曲线连续刚构桥的地震响应.计算结果表明:对于高等级公路中的曲线半径较大的双薄壁高墩曲线连续刚构桥,曲率对桥梁的自振特性影响很小;曲线连续刚构桥第1阶振动模态一般为纵飘,考虑桩土结效应后其基本周期增大;以曲线桥割线方向和垂直割线方向作为双薄壁高墩曲线连续刚构桥的纵向、横向地震动的主要激励方向,其它地震动输入方向可作为曲线连续刚构桥地震响应分析的补充.     

Seismic response of bridge pier on rigid caisson foundation in soil stratum

An analytical method to study the seismic response of a bridge pier supported on a rigid caisson foundation embedded in a deep soil stratum underlain by a homogeneous half space is developed. The method reproduces the kinematic and inertial responses, using translational and rotational distributed Winkler springs and dashpots to simulate the soil-caisson interaction. Closed-form solutions are given in the frequency domain for vertical harmonic S-wave excitation. Comparison with results from finite element （FE） analysis and other available solutions demonstrates the reliability of the model. Results from parametric studies are given for the kinematic and inertial responses. The modification of the fundamental period and damping ratio of the bridge due to soil-structure interaction is graphically illustrated.

曲线桥地震响应分析

曲线桥是现代交通中的一种重要桥型。与直线桥相比,曲线桥的自由振动与地震响应有着其自身的特点。文中运用有限元法,对曲线桥与直线桥的自振特性与地震响应作了对比分析。分析结果表明,曲线桥的以扭转为主的自振频率比直线桥高。在地震作用下,曲线桥上部结构的内力与直线桥相差不大;曲线桥竖向支座反力比直线桥小;曲线桥水平支座剪力比直线桥大。因此,在对曲线桥进行抗震设计时,上部结构可按直线桥进行设计,但应该准确计算其水平支座反力,并采取适当的支座抗剪措施。     

Characterization of horseshoe vortex in a developing scour hole at a cylindrical bridge pier

Since local scour at bridge piers in rivers and estuaries is a major cause of bridge failure, estimation of the maximum local scour depth is of great importance to hydraulic and coastal engineers. Although numerous studies that focus on scour-depth prediction have been done and published, understanding of the flow and turbulence characteristics of the horseshoe vortex that drives the scour mechanism in a developing scour hole still is immature. This study aims to quantify the detailed turbulent flow field in a developing clear-water scour hole at a circular pier using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The distributions of velocity fields, turbulence intensities, and Reynolds shear stresses of the horseshoe vortex that form in front of the pier at different scour stages (t=0, 0.5, 1, 12, 24, and 48 h) are presented in this paper. During scour development, the horseshoe vortex system was found to evolve from one initially small vortex to three vortices. The strength and size of the main vortex are found to increase with increasing scour depth. The regions of both the maximum turbulence intensity and Reynolds shear stress are found to form at a location upstream of the main vortex, where the large turbulent eddies have the highest possibility of occurrence. Results from this study not only provide new insight into the complex flow-sediment interaction at bridge piers, but also provide valuable experimental databases for advanced numerical simulations.

桥梁高墩合理计算模型探讨

采用弹塑性梁柱单元和弹塑性纤维梁柱单元分别建立桥梁墩柱的两种计算模型,深入讨论了桥梁墩柱在地震作用下,塑性铰形成、塑性区扩展以及塑性转角、墩顶位移等结构需求,针对弹塑性梁柱单元模型中不同单元划分数量对墩柱地震需求的影响也进行了比较分析。计算结果表明,高阶振型对桥梁高墩地震响应贡献较大,其塑性转角、墩顶位移等地震需求的变化规律与中、低墩明显不同。桥梁高墩在墩身中部及墩底同时形成塑性铰,且塑性区随地震激励的增强而扩展。单元划分数量对桥梁墩柱的塑性转角、墩顶位移等地震需求均有较大影响,最后讨论了两种计算模型在墩柱地震需求计算时的适用性。

Collar performance in bridge pier scour with debris accumulation

The mechanism of bridge pier scour becomes more complex in the presence of debris accumulation upstream of the pier. While using countermeasures may be effective in reducing scour, their efficacy could be undermined in such a situation.
