Abstract:
Earthquake ground motions at multiple supports of large dimensional structures, such as cable-stayed bridges, inevitably vary due to seismic wave propagation effects. Most previous studies on the seismic responses of cable-stayed bridges mainly focused on the numerical simulations and the influence of spatially varying ground motions were rarely considered. This paper carries out shake table tests to investigate the seismic responses of a cable-stayed bridge to spatially varying ground motions with wave passage effect. The scale bridge model with a length of 12.8m was experimentally tested by using the twin shake tables located in Fuzhou University, China. The influence of different apparent wave velocities was investigated in detail. Experimental results reveal that ground motion wave passage effect can significantly influence the seismic responses of long span cable-stayed bridges, especially for vertical response of girder. The response of CSB may be underestimated or overestimated by neglecting the propagated excitations. © 2018 11th National Conference on Earthquake Engineering 2018, NCEE 2018: Integrating Science, Engineering, and Policy.
