Cable stayed bridges are most widely used in the modern medium to long bridge construction due to their efficient response, economic viability, faster construction, and eye-catching aesthetics. The dynamic response of a single tower cable stayed bridge is studied by performing both nonlinear static and dynamic analyses using finite element method based software ANSYS. A three dimensional bridge model was developed using ANSYS. The steel cables were simulated using a single element approach to minimize the time and data use. Due to the complexity of cable stayed bridges, it is tried to avoid the convergence problems by adopting the displacement convergence approach. The bridge exhibits complex modal shapes due to the coupling effects for the free vibrations. The response of the bridge in vertical direction is more elastic and flexible as compared to the longitudinal and transverse direction. Response of the critical sections of girder, tower, and cables was also studied by time-history analysis using the ground acceleration data of the EI-Centro 1940 earthquake. A 10 second ground data with 0.0001 second time step was used. It was observed that stiffness in the vertical direction is a key player in the dynamic behavior of the cable stayed bridge. The response of the right and left span is similar which adds to the accuracy of the analysis. Time history analysis of the bridge shows that the largest displacements or peak responses are not related to the peak ground accelerations, rather they are dependent on many other factors like bridge stiffness, nature of the earthquake ground excitations and mass distribution. However, the results show the general trend of cable stayed bridges.

Analysis and design of structures subjected to arbitrary dynamic loadings especially earthquakes have been studied during past decades. In practice, the effects of soil-structure interaction on the dynamic response of structures are usually neglected. In this study, the effect of soil-structure interaction on the dynamic response of structures has been examined. The substructure method using dynamic stiffness of soil is used to analyze soil-structure system. A coupled model based on finite element method and scaled boundary finite element method is applied. Finite element method is used to analyze the structure, and scaled boundary finite element method is applied in the analysis of unbounded soil region. Due to analytical solution in the radial direction, the radiation condition is satisfied exactly. The material behavior of soil and structure is assumed to be linear. The soil region is considered as a homogeneous half-space. The analysis is performed in time domain. A computer program is prepared to analyze the soil-structure system. Comparing the results with those in literature shows the exactness and competency of the proposed method.

Seismic displacement response of cable stayed bridge without back stays was studied in this paper. Based on the cable stayed bridge without back stays on Zhenshui Road in Xinmi City, finite element method (FEM) was applied to calculate and analyze natural vibration and peak displacement response of the structure. The results show that with regard to mid-span and consolidation of pier and main tower, uniaxial seismic wave input results in peak displacement response of corresponding direction is bigger than that of any other direction. Peak displacement response of the top of the main tower is bigger than those of mid-span and consolidation of pier and main tower in any seismic wave input cases, which indicates that the top of the tower needs to be focused in the process of design and construction. Seismic wave along triaxial direction has the biggest impact on the structure.

The interaction between underground pipelines and soils is crucial to the design and maintenance of underground pipeline network systems. In this paper, the dynamic stiffness matrix in the frequency-domain of the buried pipeline is obtained by the improved scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) coupled with the finite element method (FEM) at the interface between the far and near fields. A new coordinate transformation together with a scaled line is introduced in the improved SBFEM. Combined with the mixed variable algorithm, the time-domain solution of the buried pipeline under dynamic loads is then obtained. The accuracy of the proposed algorithm was verified by numerical examples. A parametric study is performed to assess the influence of the anisotropic characteristics of the layered soils on the dynamic response of the pipeline, the result of which provides a reliable basis for engineering practice. The results show that these parameters have a significant impact on the pipeline. The understanding of this impact can contribute to the design, construction, and maintenance of the corresponding engineering projects.

The present paper studied the dynamic response of an underwater system with its navigation plate rotated relative to the main body until it was blocked by an energy absorber. In this process, the relation between fluid-driving moment and speed of main body, as well as the relation between rotation angle of the plate and design parameters of absorber, was investigated through combined finite element method and finite volume method. Before the plate contacted with the energy absorber, it was modeled by linear elastic material, the movement process was solved by finite volume method with dynamic boundary. When the plate started to contact and crash with the absorber, it was modeled by elastic-plastic material, and the interaction of fluid-structure coupling was simulated by explicit finite element method in LSDYNA and finite volume method in FLUENT. The two-way data exchange on the interface between fluid and structure was carried out through equivalent force and moment on each patch of the interface. In addition, the simulation accuracy on large plastic deformation of absorber was verified through a group of drop hammer experiments. After the energy absorber was crushed to ultimate shape, the open angle of plate reached the maximum value and the plate kept relative static to the rigid body. The maximum structural stress and deformation, the opening time and angle of the plate were evaluated by numerical method. It is demonstrated that the proposed method can effectively predict the dynamic response of underwater system under impact loads, and both the absorption capability of the block and the speed of moving body affect the dynamic response history and structural safety.

Body rotating bridges are mostly rotation system in balance, whose gravity center are basically located in the rotation axis of turntable. In order to ensure bridges’ swivel construction successfully accomplished, the structural center of gravity should be made clear before the rotation. In the past, the structural center of gravity was usually ascertained in the method of mathematics, but the tedious calculation couldn’t get results with enough accuracy. In this paper, structural gravity center of cable-stayed bridge is calculated in the method of CAD and finite element, whose process and result are proved handy and accurate calculation. Taking Sui Fenhe cable-stayed bridge as an example, its theoretical eccentricity is 1.3cm.
