Abstract:Relying on a two-pylon self-anchored suspension bridge in Henan Province, the seismic performance of the bridge is systematically studied. The total length of the bridge is 985.5 m, the main bridge is arranged with the spans of 82 m+145 m+82 m, and its central axis forms a 70° angle with the river flow direction. Through the analysis on the dynamic characteristics and seismic performance of the bridge, the results show that in areas with low-seismic intensity, after reasonable selection of the structural system and bearing type for the two-pylon self-anchored suspension bridge, its main cables and slings can maintain an elastic working state under the action of E2 earthquake, and the pylon, pier and pile structure can meet the requirements of elastoplastic checking calculation. In the research, the special attention should be paid to the dynamic characteristics of the bridge, including natural vibration period, frequency and key vibration-type features. In addition to the key sections such as pylon columns, pier columns and pile foundations that need focus on checking calculation, the special emphasis should be also placed on the dynamic response and the stress performances of short suspenders.
