Abstract:In recent years, high-speed railway bridges have been built in the areas with dense seismic zones in China. High-speed railway bridges near faults have a high seismic risk. The determination of the appropriate seismic system of continuous beam bridges for high-speed railway under the action of near-fault ground motion has become an urgent problem to be solved in the seismic design of near-fault high-speed railway bridges in strong earthquake areas. The nonlinear time-history analysis of the bridge under the rare earthquakes is conducted. The single use of hyperboloid spherical seismic isolation bearing and its combined application with viscous damper are discussed. The seismic design of continuous beam bridges for high-speed railway near active fault is carried out. It is found that the internal force of the bridge using the hyperboloid spherical seismic isolation bearing alone will be reduced, but the relative displacement of the beam piers exceeds the limit. The joint application of hyperboloid spherical seismic isolation bearing and viscous damper will make the relative displacement of beam piers greatly reduced. At the same time, after setting the viscous damper, the internal force of the pier body does not change much on the whole, which meets the requirements of the specification.
