Abstract:Due to the wind-sand erosion, the steel beam coating of cable-stayed bridge will become thin or even fall off, which will lead to the corrosion of steel beam. In addition, the strength of concrete pylon columns will also be reduced due to the reduction of sand erosion area. In order to study the deformation and seismic performance of steel-concrete composite cable-stayed bridge in the whole life cycle, a calculation and analysis model of the whole bridge is established, and 12 seismic waves are input to explore its seismic performance. The results show that the combined effects of wind-sand erosion and earthquake have little effect on the seismic performance of the cable. The vulnerable part of the pier under earthquake is the bottom of the pylon. Considering the time-varying effect of wind-sand erosion, the bending moment - curvature at the bottom of the pylon increases by 10.39%, and the change of earthquake intensity has the greatest influence on the bending moment - curvature. The mid-span deflection increases not only with the time of wind-sand erosion, but also with the increase of ground peak acceleration. The research results provide the support for the seismic design of steel-concrete composite cable-stayed bridges in wind-sand areas.
