SEISMIC VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS OF CABLE-STAYED BRIDGE DURING ROTATION CONSTRUCTION

Abstract

Due to the swivel construction, the structural redundancy of cable-stayed bridge is reduced, and its seismic vulnerability is significantly higher than that of non-swirling construction structure and its own state of formation. Therefore, it is particularly important to study the damage changes of each component and stage system during the swivel construction of cable-stayed bridge under different horizontal earthquakes. Based on the construction of Rotary Cable-stayed Bridge in Haxi Street, the calculation formula of damage exceeding probability is established based on reliability theory, and the damage calibration of cable-stayed bridge components is carried out, and the finite element model of cable-stayed bridge rotating structure is established. The vulnerable parts of the main tower and the stay cable components of the cable-stayed bridge are identified and the incremental dynamic analysis is carried out. Finally, the seismic vulnerability curves of the main tower section, the stay cable and the rotating system are established. The results of the study show that the vulnerable areas of the H-shaped bridge towers are the abrupt changes in the main tower section near the upper and lower beams, and the vulnerable diagonal cables are the long cables anchored to the beam ends and the short cables near the main tower；At the same seismic level, the damage exceedance probability of main tower vulnerable section of cable-stayed bridge under transverse earthquake is greater than that under longitudinal earthquake, the damage exceedance probability of vulnerable stay cables under transverse seismic action is less than that under longitudinal seismic action；On the premise of the same damage probability, the required ground motion intensity of the system can be reduced by 0.35g at most compared with the component；Under the same seismic intensity, the system damage probability is 6.60 % higher than the component damage probability at most. The research results have reference significance for the construction of rotating cable-stayed bridges in areas lacking seismic records.
