Effects of Concurrent Earthquake and Temperature Loadings on Cable-Stayed Bridges

摘要: This paper discusses the necessity of considering concurrent effects uniform temperature and earthquake loadings in design cable-stayed bridges. load combination is not foreseen current standards such as AASHTO Eurocode. Three-dimensional finite element models bridges are employed for nonlinear time history analyses. A proposed that adds loading to existing extreme event combination. The compared with changes forces displacements noted. parametric study then conducted by varying a number properties as, span length, shape pylon, deck/pylon connection actual load. Pylon reactions deck axial found be more vulnerable longer spans.
