Abstract:The dynamic characteristics of a twin-tower asymmetric single-side mixed girder cable-stayed bridge with a main span of 820 meters were analyzed. First, we calculated the seismic response of the bridge under multi-point excitation with the relative motion method to analyze the influence of a traveling wave effect on the dynamic response of some key points, i.e., the tower top, main girder, and the tower bottom. At the same time, we compared and analyzed the dynamic responses under different incident angles. Results showed that, compared with the results of uniform excitation analysis, under multi-point excitation, the internal force of the main tower was smaller, but that of the main girder was larger. Earthquake excitation with different incident angles also had a great influence on the internal force of the cable-stayed bridge, which made the internal force increase (or decrease) up to 20%. Therefore, in the design of this type of asymmetrical hybrid beam cable-stayed bridge, the influences of non-uniform excitation and input direction of ground motions should be considered.
