Abstract
In this paper, OpenSees software is used to establish a numerical simulation analysis model of a long-span continuous rigid frame bridge with Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) expansion joint reinforcement scheme. The seismic response characteristics and laws of structures with ordinary concrete and ECC concrete at expansion joints are compared and analyzed, and their seismic performance is evaluated. The results show that the use of ECC material at the beam end position can effectively reduce the peak response of the structure under earthquake action and reduce the number of collisions. ECC material has a strong energy dissipation capacity and can reduce the collision damage of the beam section near the bridge expansion joint under earthquake action.
