Abstract:

While the current seismic fortification standards for cable-stayed bridges have been established, determining the return periods and fortification objectives remains insufficient. This study introduces a multi-level seismic fortification objective for cable-stayed bridges with safe-belt devices. The safe-belt device protects the primary components and enables transfers to the restraint system based on varying seismic requirements. For this investigation, a double-tower cable-stayed bridge was chosen as the case study. Three finite element models with varying structural configurations were developed. Subsequently, an elastoplastic time-history analysis was performed under four levels of seismic excitation across different site categories. The results indicate that the primary structures of traditional cable-stayed bridges, specifically the towers and lower crossbeams, are vulnerable to severe damage during extremely rare earthquakes. Incorporating safe-belt devices in a doubletower cable-stayed bridge effectively reduces the internal forces exerted on the primary structures by utilizing the combined action of the dual towers, thereby preventing severe damage. Additionally, these devices allow for controlled girder-end displacement until their capacity is reached. This double-tower cable-stayed bridge successfully meets the multi-level seismic fortification objectives and satisfies the performance requirements at each level.
