Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bridge dynamic analysis, and in particular to a flexible central buckle dynamic analysis method. Background Art

[0002] One of the effective measures to improve the rigidity of a suspension bridge is to connect the main cable and the stiffening beam in the middle of the main span with a central buckle. There are two ways to set the central buckle: use a rigid triangular truss to connect the main cable and the stiffening beam so that the cable and beam are relatively fixed in the middle of the span, which is a rigid central buckle; add one or more pairs of oblique slings in the middle of the span to establish the longitudinal constraint of the cable beam, which is a flexible central buckle.

[0003] For vehicle loads, under the action of vehicles, the stiffening beams and main cables of suspension bridges will produce longitudinal and lateral displacements, and the displacements of the main cables and main beams are not synchronized, causing the cables to bend. The addition of flexible central buckles can effectively improve the stress performance and bending resistance of short cables near the mid-span. For wind loads, the biggest role of the flexible central buckle is to significantly increase the antisymmetric torsion frequency of the structure, so that the torsion-bending frequency ratio under the antisymmetric modal combination increases, which is beneficial to improving the wind resistance of the bridge. However, for seismic loads with significant energy, the installed flexible central buckle of the suspension bridge is less favorable under such loads and is prone to damage. Therefore, energy-absorbing devices such as buckling shock absorbers are generally used in combination with flexible central buckles to improve the comprehensive stress performance of the structure under multiple loads such as earthquakes, vehicles and wind. Compared with traditional supports, the stiffness and strength of buckling shock absorbers in compression and tension are basically the same. When conducting structural vibration response analysis, the load-deformation relationship of the buckling shock absorber can be processed in the same way as the bilinear hysteresis model of traditional steel structures. The flexible central buckle is a super-flexible structure with large geometric deformation. The static geometric nonlinear effect is very significant, and the force under dynamic action is more complicated.

[0004] In the prior art, when performing dynamic analysis on the flexible central buckle, the flexible central buckle is generally analyzed as equivalent to a truss unit, so that the equivalent truss unit exhibits truss characteristics that can withstand both tension and compression. This is inconsistent with the actual property of the flexible central buckle that can only withstand tension but not compression during analysis, resulting in inaccurate dynamic analysis results. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the defects existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a flexible central buckle dynamic analysis method, which can solve the problem that in the prior art, when performing dynamic analysis on the flexible central buckle, the flexible central buckle is generally analyzed as equivalent to a truss unit, so that the equivalent truss unit exhibits truss characteristics that can withstand both tension and compression, which is inconsistent with the actual property of the flexible central buckle that can only withstand tension but not compression during analysis, resulting in inaccurate dynamic analysis results.
