Fragility analysis of concrete-filled steel tube arch bridge subjected to nearfault ground motion considering the wave passage effect
Zhen Liu and Zhe Zhang

 
Abstract
    This paper focuses on the impact of the wave passage effect on the long-span bridge. In order to make the wave passage effect more obvious, ground motion samples are selected from the near-fault ground motion of the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake and an arch bridge with a 280m main span is selected as a bridge sample. The motion ground samples are divided into two groups according to the characteristics of near-fault. A sequence of fragility curves is developed. It is shown that the seismic damage is increased by the wave passage effect and the increase is more obvious in the near-fault ground motion.
 
Key Words
    wave passage effect; near-fault ground motion; seismic fragility; concrete-filled steel tube arch bridges
