Abstract: | An overlap in frequency between the 1D resonance frequency of sediments and the vibrational frequencies of long-span bridges
might lead to a strongly increased structural response of the latter. Interference of surface waves caused by reflections
at dipping interfaces may introduce additional unfavourable amplifications. Therefore, the vulnerability of two bridges crossing
the Rhine River in Cologne, Germany, was assessed using ground motion scenarios computed for four profiles crossing the Lower
Rhine Embayment. Due to their vibrational frequencies being in the vicinity of resonant peaks in the response spectra, the
Severinsbridge showed critical loading and the bridge Cologne-Deutz even exhibited grave failure according to the dynamic
FE-simulations. |
