Comparison of Seismic Design Schemes for Suspension Bridge in Mountain Region with Strong Earthquake

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Longjiang Bridge is a kilometer level suspension bridge supported by reinforced concrete towers. The towers will be founded on pile group foundation, and the project area is in a mountain region of high earthquake probability. Two seismic schemes were designed for the bridge, and two computational bridge models in full size were established, extensive studies were performed to capture the seismic response of different schemes for the earthquakes. The results show that towers composed of two curved quadrilateral hollow concrete columns are adopted for the bridge.
