Abstract:Based on the three-span composite continuous beam bridge of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Bridge, a refined full-bridge numerical model is established by a finite element method to study the dynamic response of the bridge under the action of earthquake. By comparing two schemes of one without seismic isolation measures and the other with anisotropic friction pendulum bearings, the dynamic properties and seismic response difference of bridge structures under the different working conditions are systematically analyzed, and the seismic control effect of anisotropic friction pendulum bearings is revealed from the two dimensions of longitudinal and transverse bridge directions. The research result shows that the anisotropic friction pendulum bearings can effectively adjust the natural vibration characteristics of the bridge, remarkably reduce the internal forces of critical sections and the displacement of pier tops, and enhance the overall seismic performance of the structure. The proposed seismic control measure has the technical feasibility and economic rationality, can guarantee the stress safety and maintain the using function of the bridge under the effect of a strong earthquake, and can provide a theoretical basis and engineering reference for the seismic design and isolation optimization of similar long-span concrete composite continuous beam bridges.
