Abstract:Based on the software OpenSees, the elastic-plastic fiber beam-column element is used to establish the pier column model. Considering the influences of upper beam weight, shock insulation support and material nonlinearity, the increment dynamic analysis (IDA) method is used to analyze the structural elastic-plastic earthquake response of a monosymmetry section pier. The calculation result shows that two-way bending is found when a monosymmetry section pier is under the unidirectional seismic action. Under the seismic excitation perpendicular to the axis of symmetry, the double-bending coefficient of pier will be reduced with the increment of PGA. After PGA reaches a value, the double-bending coefficient will not be greatly changed, which provides some references for guiding the design of the similar bridges.
