Dynamic and Mitigation Analysis of Seismic Pounding Effect on Multi-Span Highway Bridges Subjected to Spatial Earthquakes
The main girder and the piers of bridges are generally linked with sliding bearings. Under seismic excitation, pounding effects between the main girder and the abutment, the adjacent girder and the blocking device caused by excessive relative displacements between piers, abutments and the girder are highly probable. The effects can not only damage the structure but also lead to collapsing. Based on a continuous viaduct, the paper studied the disciplines of the pounding response under uniform seismic excitation and the spatial seismic excitation, then put forward that the composite metal damper may reduce the effect of pounding. The research shows that under same seismic intensity, the results, including pounding force, the shear force of the fixed bearings and the plastic hinge on the piers, are amplified under multi-point excitation than under uniform excitation. And composite metal dampers can reduce the seismic responds under frequent earthquakes and prevent or largely reduce the pounding effect under severe earthquakes. Therefore the effect of pounding on the dynamic performance can be lessened. The seismic reduction is widely and well-adapted under both uniform excitation and multi-point excitation.
