Abstract

The rectangular hollow section pier of a railway high-pier long-span simply-supported beam bridge is taken as the research object,calculation model for four kinds of pier heights were constructed, and factors such as the position of truncation and the number of reinforcement bars were considered. IDA analysis is carried out by using Opensees software to build a single pier calculation model, and the elastic-plastic seismic response characteristics of railway high piers are summarized and suggestions on seismic design is put forward. The results show that when the ratio of longitudinal reinforcement is between 0.63 and 0.89%, the pier height is less than 42 meters and the longitudinal reinforcement length is arranged over the pier, the section of hollow pier bottom is weak.When the height of the pier is greater than 67 meters and the longitudinal reinforcement is divided into sections, the section at the bottom of the hollow pier, the section at the truncation of the longitudinal reinforcement and a section in the pier may be the weak part, but the section at the bottom of the hollow pier is the area where the plastic hinge appears first.The plastic hinge in pier shaft can be produced only when it is stimulated by strong ground motion. The influence of ground motion peak acceleration should be considered in the selection of longitudinal reinforcement.Increasing the number of reinforcement bars at pier bottom is beneficial to reducing the plasticity of pier bottom section in general, but it may not improve the seismic performance of the whole pier under strong earthquakes. For high piers, when there are two or more plastic hinge areas in pier shaft, it is suggested to use the coefficient of curvature ductility as the evaluation index.
