Abstract

Abstract This study compares the results of numerical simulations of half-span and full-span cable-stayed bridge models based on the seismic response of the pylons and main girders subjected to earthquake loads. The half-span model represents the most critical condition of the bridge during the construction phase, while the full-span model represents the bridge in operational phase. The three-dimensional finite-element modeling of the two bridge models uses data from the longest existing cable-stayed bridge in Indonesia which was scaled down geometrically to 1/160, using Midas CIVIL software. The Kobe earthquake record from the PEER Strong Motion Database was used in this study by applying the spectral matching method to modify its acceleration according to the location of the existing bridge being analyzed. This study also examines the influence of the directional effects of earthquake load relative to the longitudinal axis of the bridge, namely 0, 45, and 90 degrees. The results of the analysis show that for the half-span bridge model, the maximum acceleration occurs at the top of the pylon due to earthquake excitation at 90 degrees direction, with an amplification factor of 4.658, while the amplification factor in full-span bridge conditions is only 2.44. In addition, in both the half-span and full-span bridge models, the largest acceleration amplification factor occurs in the main girder that is caused by earthquake excitation at 90 degrees direction. The largest transverse displacement occurs at the free ends of the main girder, but not in the full-span model. The results of the study indicate that during the detailed design process the designer has to consider the effect of earthquake on the strength and stability of the bridge during construction especially if the balanced cantilever method applies.
