[CS12-49] Analytical Study on the Seismic Response of a Langer Arch Bridge during the Nankai Trough Earthquakes
Keywords:Steel Langer Bridge, Seismic Response, Nankai Trough Earthquake
In Japan, it was estimated that the probability of a magnitude 8 or 9 earthquake occurring in the Nankai Trough is 70 to 80 percent within 30 years. Therefore, it is important to verify the safety of the structures by conducting the dynamic analyses using Nankai Trough earthquakes simulated ground motions. However, limited studies have been performed focusing on the seismic response of arch bridges subjected to the Nankai Trough earthquakes. For this reason, the dynamic analyses of a Langer arch bridge were carried out in this study. Based on the analytical results, the characteristic of the seismic response of the arch bridge is investigated.
