Abstract

The seismic vulnerability analysis is of great important for the design, operation and maintain. The selected extra-large highway and railway dual-used arch bridge contains high geometric nonlinearity and is one of the transportation junctions. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct seismic response analysis. The research results can provide reference for the seismic design and seismic response analysis of target bridge and similar typed bridges. Thus, it has high theoretical value for the design and promotion of similar bridges. This paper starts with a theoretical analysis, using the finite element software LS-DYNA to build a dynamic calculation model of the real bridge and carry out modal and time response analyses. The strength, vulnerable components and stability of the bridge under three-way seismic action at for different earthquake excitation waves (Wenchuan earthquake, Chichi earthquake, Kobe earthquake and El-Centro earthquake) are investigated. Through analysis and comparison of numerical calculations, the seismic performance of the target bridge was comprehensively evaluated.
