Description

Technical Field

[0001] The patent of this invention relates to the field of bridge engineering structural safety and disaster prevention and mitigation technology, and specifically to a method for evaluating the dynamic response of a large-span suspension bridge under the combined action of wind and earthquake. Background Art

[0002] The widespread use of long-span bridges has become a significant trend in modern bridge engineering. These bridges typically possess structural characteristics of large spans, high flexibility, and low damping, making them more sensitive to natural disasters such as wind and earthquakes. Earthquakes are often accompanied by strong winds, and the two are closely and complexly linked. In actual bridge loading, wind loads and seismic forces interact, and their combined effects can cause even more severe damage to bridge structures.

[0003] In the past, the dynamic response analysis of bridges under wind loads and earthquakes was usually conducted separately. Although a relatively mature assessment method and system has been formed for the dynamic response analysis of bridges under single disasters, this separate analysis method has theoretical flaws because it ignores the objective joint action relationship between wind disasters and earthquakes. It cannot truly restore the damage process of bridges under multiple disasters and it is difficult to accurately assess the actual damage to the bridges.

[0004] In recent years, research on the safety of structures under the combined action of multiple disasters has received increasing attention. The analysis of the dynamic response of bridges under the combined action of multiple disasters can more accurately restore the actual damage process when they are actually affected by disasters, and is also more consistent with the actual situation in theory.

[0005] The existing bridge dynamic response analysis schemes have the following problems: 1. They focus too much on the dynamic response analysis under a single load. When faced with the combined effects of multiple disasters such as earthquakes and wind loads, they cannot comprehensively and reasonably simulate the actual disaster situation of the bridge, making it difficult to accurately assess the actual damage status of the bridge; 2. In the dynamic response analysis of bridges under the combined effects of earthquakes and wind loads, the influence of load directionality is not systematically considered, resulting in limitations in the safety assessment of bridge structures; 3. They mainly focus on the operation stage after the bridge is built, and there is insufficient research on the stability and safety of bridge structures under the effects of multiple disasters during the construction process, resulting in a complete safety assessment. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for evaluating the dynamic response of a long-span suspension bridge under the combined action of wind and earthquake. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0007] A method for evaluating the dynamic response of a long-span suspension bridge under combined wind and earthquake action comprises the following steps:

[0008] S1. Use ANSYS software to build a finite element model of the bridge;

[0009] S2. Perform modal analysis on the finite element model to determine the natural frequency and vibration period;

[0010] S3. Determine the selection and reading of seismic waves;

[0011] S4. Calculate the rotation matrix;

[0012] S5. Use Simiu power spectrum to simulate the fluctuating wind speed spectrum and determine the degree of fit between the fluctuating wind speed spectrum and the target spectrum;

[0013] S6. Apply load to the finite element model established in S1;

[0014] S7. Calculate the dynamic response under the combined action of earthquake and wind loads;

[0015] S8. Use ORIGIN software to plot and analyze the internal force and displacement response values.

[0016] Preferably, the step S1 of establishing a finite element model of a bridge using ANSYS software specifically includes the following sub-steps:

[0017] S1.1 Obtain architectural drawings of the actual structure of the 3D suspension bridge to be evaluated and use ANSYS finite element software to model the bridge during the construction phase. Beam4 elements are used to simulate the stiffening beams and pylons, which are the main load-bearing structures of the 3D suspension bridge to be evaluated. Link10 elements are used to simulate the main cables and suspenders.

[0018] S1.2 Based on the generated finite element model of the bridge at the construction stage, the second-stage dead load is applied to the stiffening beam using ANSYS finite element software, including the bridge deck pavement and ancillary facilities, to obtain the finite element model of the bridge at the completion stage. The second-stage dead load application is simulated using the MASS21 quality element type.

[0019] S1.3 sets boundary conditions for the base of the pylons, the ends of the main cables, the main cables and the tops of the pylons, and between the stiffening beams and the pylons, i.e., degree-of-freedom constraints. The base of the pylons and the ends of the main cables are fully consolidated; the main cables and the tops of the pylons are rigidly connected; and the stiffening beams and pylons are node-coupled.

[0020] S1.4 After completing the modeling and boundary condition setting, static analysis tests are performed on the finite element model of the bridge in the construction stage and the finite element model of the bridge in the completion stage:

[0021] If the maximum main cable tension response value of the bridge is ≤250,000 kN and the maximum displacement response value is ≤10 cm, the static analysis test complies with the specifications, which means that the constructed finite element model of the bridge during the construction phase and the finite element model of the bridge during the completion phase are accurate and reliable;

[0022] If the static analysis test does not meet the requirements, the boundary conditions are corrected by continuously executing the command flow until the static analysis test meets the requirements.

[0023] Preferably, the modal analysis of the finite element model in S2 to determine the natural frequency and vibration period is specifically:

[0024] Based on the influence of boundary conditions and element types determined in S1 on the analysis results, the Block Lanczos method was used to perform modal analysis on the finite element models of the bridge during the construction and completion stages. The natural frequencies and mode shapes corresponding to the natural frequencies of the three-dimensional suspension bridge structure to be evaluated were obtained during the construction and completion stages, respectively, and the vibration period was calculated.

[0025] Preferably, the step S3 of determining the selection and reading of seismic waves specifically includes the following sub-steps:

[0031] R=R x (θ x )·R y (θ y )·R z (θ z )(1);

[0032] After matrix multiplication, we can get:

[0033]

[0034] S4.3 Convert the rotation angle in radians according to S4.1 and calculate the corresponding trigonometric function value cosθ in equation (2) in 4.2 x 、sinθ x 、cosθ y 、sinθ y 、cosθ z 、sinθ z ;

[0035] S4.4 calculates the required seismic wave rotation matrix for any incident direction of the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis based on equation (2) in S4.2 as shown below:

[0036]

[0037] Substitute the trigonometric function values ​​obtained in S4.3 into equation (3) to calculate the values ​​of each element in the seismic wave rotation matrix for any incident direction;

[0038] The acceleration matrix of the original seismic wave in the global coordinate system is defined as:

[0039]

[0040] Among them, a x 、a y 、a z are the acceleration data of the original seismic wave along the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis in the global coordinate system;

[0041] After the rotation matrix transformation, the final acceleration matrix of the seismic wave in the local coordinate system is:

[0042]

[0043] Among them, the acceleration matrix coefficient in the local coordinate system is the element r in the rotation matrix of formula (3): mn , r mn is the value of the element in the mth row and nth column of the rotation matrix of formula (3); m=1,2,3; n=1,2,3; a′ x, a′ y , a′ z They are respectively the acceleration data of the final seismic wave along the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis in the local coordinate system.

[0044] Also preferably, S5 uses Simiu power spectrum to simulate the fluctuating wind speed spectrum and determines the degree of fit between the fluctuating wind speed spectrum and the target spectrum, specifically including the following sub-steps:

[0045] S5.1 Obtain the surface roughness coefficient of the area based on the topographical features of the site of the three-dimensional suspension bridge to be evaluated, query the average wind speed of the bridge site, and use the average wind speed as the basic parameter;

[0046] S5.2 simulates the fluctuating wind speed using the autoregressive model method based on the average wind speed and the surface roughness coefficient;

[0048] S5.4 superimposes the average wind speed obtained in S5.1 and the fluctuating wind speed simulated in S5.2 to obtain the time-varying natural wind speed time history data, which is used as the wind load subsequently applied to the finite element model.

[0049] Further preferably, the step of applying a load to the finite element model established in step S1 in step S6 specifically includes:

[0058] S8.2 Compare the maximum horizontal tower top displacement and safety factor during the construction and completion phases with the allowable values ​​in the code:

[0059] If the maximum horizontal tower top displacement is less than tower height / 100 and the safety factor is greater than 2.5, the bridge structure of the three-dimensional suspension bridge to be evaluated meets the requirements and does not require reinforcement; otherwise, the bridge structure of the three-dimensional suspension bridge to be evaluated does not meet the requirements, and the superstructure of the bridge tower of the three-dimensional suspension bridge to be evaluated needs to be inspected or reinforced.

[0060] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

Link10 elements are used to simulate the main cables and suspenders.

[0082] S1.2 Based on the generated finite element model of the bridge at the construction stage, the second-stage dead load is applied to the stiffening beam using ANSYS finite element software, including the bridge deck pavement and ancillary facilities, to obtain the finite element model of the bridge at the completion stage. The second-stage dead load application is simulated using the MASS21 quality element type.
