Abstract:Taking the co-construction node of the bridge and tunnel along the causeway of Suzhou East Taihu Lake Tunnel Phase I Project as an example, the dynamic time-history analysis method is employed to conduct an overall finite element simulation of the bridge-tunnel co-construction nodes. On the basis of considering the bridge superstructure stiffness and the additional load factors, the seismic analysis of the tunnel structure is performed. According to the finite element analysis results, the special seismic design carried out for moderate earthquakes (fortification earthquakes) and major earthquakes (rare earthquakes) can ensure that the tunnel structure achieves the seismic fortification goal of being in the elastic stage under the action of E1 and E2 earthquakes and locally entering the elastic-plastic stage under the action of E3 earthquakes.
