Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bridge seismic design, and particularly relates to a method for defining near-fault bridge. BACKGROUND
[0002] Seismic ground motion is divided into far-field and near-field seismic ground motion, and the far-field seismic ground motion is generally a range of more than 20 km away from the source, and the near-field seismic ground motion is a range of less than 20 km. Near-fault earthquake is a very special near-field seismic ground motion, which not only has ground vibration but also has surface rupture permanent displacement. The bridge structure will be subjected to the double rupture factors of ground vibration and surface rupture, and the definition of near-fault bridge must consider the surface rupture permanent displacement in addition to the strong ground vibration of near-field seismic ground motion. The rupture displacement attenuation of near-fault seismic ground motion causes inconsistent displacement between bridge piers, thereby damaging the bridge structure. The definition of near-fault bridge must consider the influence of surface rupture permanent displacement on the mechanical behavior of the bridge. The surface rupture permanent displacement is related to factors such as magnitude and source mechanism (strike-slip fault and dip-slip fault), and the bridge damage is also related to the design parameters of the structure itself (main span length, pier and support stiffness). On the basis of considering the above two factors, the distance of the near-fault bridge from the fault is comprehensively determined, so as to define the concept of near-fault bridge. After the concept is clear, special seismic and damping measures can be taken for the near-fault bridge to reduce the damage of near-fault seismic ground motion to the bridge structure. Therefore, the present application proposes to define the concept of near-fault bridge based on the double factors of seismic ground motion characteristics (magnitude, source mechanism and surface rupture permanent displacement attenuation relationship) and bridge structure design parameters (main span length, pier and support stiffness). SUMMARY
[0003] The purpose of the present application is to provide a method for defining near-fault bridge, which defines and identifies near-fault bridge based on the double factors of seismic ground motion characteristics and bridge structure design parameters.
[0004] In order to achieve the above technical purposes and achieve the above technical effects, the present application is realized by the following technical scheme:
[0005] A method for defining near-fault bridge, comprising the following steps:
[0006] S1: collecting seismic records and geological data of the bridge location;
[0007] S2: drawing a near-fault seismic ground motion fault rupture permanent displacement attenuation relationship curve based on the data collected in step S1, and describing the change relationship of permanent displacement with fault distance under different magnitude conditions.
[0008] S3: According to the attenuation curve obtained in step S2, combined with the fault type analysis and the length L of the main span of the bridge, the size of the permanent displacement and its position of action on the bridge are estimated to determine the displacement response in the transverse direction, longitudinal direction or vertical direction of the bridge caused by the permanent displacement.
[0009] S4: According to the principle of structural mechanics, combined with the stiffness parameters (K1 and K2) of the bridge and the permanent displacement value, the displacement reaction formula acting on the bridge is derived. The displacement reaction of the bridge under the influence of permanent displacement is calculated under the conditions of strike-slip fault and dip-slip fault.
[0010] S5: The in-bridge displacement calculated by the formula derived in step S4 is compared with half of the dynamic effect reservation D. If the structural static displacement caused by the permanent displacement exceeds half of the dynamic effect reservation, the bridge is determined to be a near-fault bridge.
[0011] Further, the data collection in step S1 specifically includes:
[0012] Magnitude (M w ): The moment magnitude of the earthquake, representing the total amount of energy released by the earthquake.
[0013] Source mechanism: Including fault type, mainly divided into strike-slip fault and dip-slip fault.
[0014] Seismic fault rupture permanent displacement attenuation relationship: This is a curve representing the change of fault rupture permanent displacement with fault distance, usually derived from a seismological model.
[0015] Bridge design parameters: including main span length (L), pier stiffness (K1), support stiffness (K2), dynamic effect reservation (D, equal to half of the expansion joint width).
[0016] Further, step S2 specifically includes: statistical analysis of seismic event seismic data, drawing scatter plots of upper and lower disc seismic displacement attenuation, and fitting the curve of seismic permanent displacement with fault distance, represented as:
[0017] GSRPD=f(R rup , M w )
[0018] Further, step S3 specifically includes:
[0019] The length of the main span of the bridge is calibrated according to the fault distance, and the permanent displacement ΔP D acting on the bridge pier is found on the curve, and the permanent displacement ΔP D acting on the transverse and longitudinal directions of the bridge under the condition of strike-slip fault, and the permanent displacement ΔP D acting on the vertical and longitudinal directions of the bridge under the condition of dip-slip fault.
[0020] Further, the step S4 specifically comprises:
[0021] The pier stiffness is K1, and the height is H1, and according to structural mechanics, the following can be obtained
[0022]
[0023] Similarly, the support stiffness is EI is the bending stiffness; and the equivalent stiffness of the pier and the support is
[0024]
[0025] The following is obtained
[0026]
[0027] K 11 is the stiffness coefficient caused by unit displacement ΔX;
[0028] Under the action of permanent displacement ΔP DX , R=-3K eff ×ΔP DX
[0029] R is the counterforce on the additional chain bar;
[0030] According to the basic equation of the displacement method, the following can be obtained:
[0031] K 11 ΔX+R=0
[0032] The following is obtained
[0033]
[0034] According to the above, the longitudinal displacement of the bridge under the action of permanent displacement ΔP DX is
[0035]
[0036] Further, the step S5 specifically comprises:
[0037] When the static displacement of the bridge structure caused by the fault rupture displacement exceeds half of the dynamic effect allowance (expansion joint) D, the bridge can be determined as a near-fault bridge.
[0038] That is That is, when ΔP DX ≥D, the bridge is a near-fault bridge;
[0039] ΔP DX With the main span L and the fault distance R rup , according to the main span L and the fault distance Rrup calibrate ΔP DX , judge ΔP DX whether it is greater than the dynamic effect reservation D, if greater, it is near-fault bridge, otherwise not.
[0040] The near-fault bridge judgment criterion of dip-slip fault is consistent with strike-slip fault, which is:
[0041] When the fault rupture displacement causes the static displacement of the bridge structure to exceed half of the dynamic effect reservation (expansion joint) D, the bridge can be determined as a near-fault bridge.
[0042] That is That is ΔP DX ≥D, the bridge is a near-fault bridge;
[0043] ΔP DX With the main span span L, fault distance R rup and the change curve of the permanent displacement of the ruptured fault with the fault distance, according to the main span span L and fault distance R rup and the change curve of the permanent displacement of the ruptured fault with the fault distance in the actual situation, ΔP DX is calibrated, and ΔP DX whether it is greater than the dynamic effect reservation D is judged, if greater, it is near-fault bridge, otherwise not.
[0044] On the other hand, the application proposes the application of the above method in the definition of near-fault bridge concept research.
[0045] The beneficial effects of the application are:
[0046] Traditionally, the seismic design of bridges often only considers the intensity of ground motion and rarely considers the permanent displacement of surface rupture. This technical solution can accurately calculate the displacement size and position that the bridge may experience under specific seismic conditions by collecting detailed seismic records and geological data and based on the permanent displacement attenuation relationship curve drawn based on these data. This analysis is based on the principles of seismology and structural dynamics, which can predict the specific effects of different types of faults (such as strike-slip faults and dip-slip faults) on bridges, thereby providing a predictive tool for design. It can assist in predicting the behavior of bridges in actual earthquakes during the design stage, so that the seismic design not only depends on general design standards, but is based on detailed analysis of specific ground motion characteristics and bridge responses, improving the pertinence and adaptability of the design.
[0047] The definition method of the application considers the following influence factors: magnitude, source mechanism (fault type: strike-slip fault and dip-slip fault) and near-fault ground motion fault rupture permanent displacement attenuation relationship curve, structure design parameters: main span span, pier and support stiffness parameters, dynamic effect reservation (half of the expansion joint width). The near-fault bridge criterion defined in this way is more reasonable, and the accuracy is greatly improved.
[0048] In addition, based on the foregoing influence factors, the application also proposes a determination formula, which comprehensively considers the fault mechanism, bridge span, pier support stiffness and dynamic effect reservation. The calculation complexity is reduced, and the determination accuracy is improved.
[0049] The determination of the near-fault bridge will be beneficial to the reasonable design of the bridge, avoid collision damage, improve the seismic performance and safety of the bridge, and at the same time, it is of great significance to perfect the corresponding seismic design standard.
[0050] Of course, implementing any product of the application does not necessarily need to achieve all the advantages described above at the same time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

This invention provides a curve that better reflects the actual situation, describing the relationship between permanent displacement and fault distance. Figure 1 As shown.

It is proved by formula derivation that the displacement of the bridge in the bridge direction is only related to the permanent displacement ΔP DX of the rupture fault, so the near-fault bridge judgment criterion of the dip-slip fault is consistent with that of the strike-slip fault, and both are:
[0139] The judgment condition is that when the static displacement of the bridge structure caused by the fault rupture displacement exceeds half of the dynamic effect allowance (the expansion joint) D, the bridge is determined to be a near-fault bridge.
