Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bridge, and particularly relates to a random vibration method of long-span bridge under spatially varying non-stationary earthquake. BACKGROUND

[0002] For bridge structures in seismic active regions, ground motion is the most common potential natural disaster in their service process. Ground motion has inherent uncertainty, and a random process should be used to characterize its statistical characteristics. Accordingly, the bridge response induced by the ground motion should also be regarded as a random process, and a random vibration method should be used to probabilistically evaluate the bridge response, and the evaluation results can be further used for seismic design and time-varying reliability analysis of the bridge. When analyzing the random seismic response of long-span bridges, the complete non-stationarity and spatial variability of ground motion should be fully considered. The complete non-stationarity is reflected in the time domain and the frequency domain, which respectively correspond to the time-varying intensity and time-varying frequency components of the ground motion, and both kinds of non-stationarity have a significant influence on the seismic response of bridge structures. The spatial variability means that the ground motion borne by different supports of the bridge is not completely consistent, which is mainly caused by the traveling wave effect, partial coherence effect and local site effect of the ground motion.

[0003] At present, a variety of methods (such as the virtual excitation method, the evolutionary spectrum method and the Monte Carlo simulation) can be used for random vibration analysis of long-span bridges under non-stationary ground motion. However, these methods still have some problems in practical application, which are manifested in two aspects. First, the existing methods usually need to perform a large number of time-frequency integral operations or repetitive dynamic analysis. For example, the virtual excitation method needs to perform time history analysis of the bridge structure at a series of frequency points to obtain the response spectrum density in the complete frequency range, the evolutionary spectrum method needs to perform a large number of convolution integrals to evaluate the frequency response function and time-varying response statistics of the bridge structure, and the Monte Carlo simulation also needs to statistically analyze a large number of bridge response samples to obtain a convergent solution. The time-consuming calculation makes these methods face serious computing power bottlenecks when applied to large bridge structures. In addition, due to the inherent defects in applicability, the existing methods are difficult to consider the influence of the complete non-stationarity and spatial variability of ground motion on the random response of bridges. Specifically, some methods can fully consider the traveling wave effect, partial coherence effect and local site effect of ground motion, but are only applicable to time-domain non-stationary excitation determined by a uniform modulation function, and have difficulties in characterizing the frequency-domain non-stationarity of ground motion. In addition, some methods can consider the time-domain and frequency-domain non-stationarity of ground motion, but are only applicable to uniform ground motion, and cannot fully consider the influence of the spatial variability of ground motion on the random response of bridges.

[0004] Therefore, under the premise of fully considering the complete non-stationarity and spatial variability of ground motion, how to establish a more efficient and applicable random vibration method to realize the accurate evaluation of the statistical quantities of seismic response of long-span bridges becomes a problem to be solved by the technical personnel in the field.
