Dynamic Response of Bridge-Tunnel Overlapping Structures under High-Speed Railway and Subway Train Loads

With the rapid development of high-speed railroads and subways, there has been an increasing number of bridge-tunnel overlapping structures. To study the dynamic response characteristics of bridge-tunnel structures under the synergistic effects of the vibration generated by high-speed railway and subway trains, the dynamic response characteristics of a bridge-tunnel structure under single-point vibration loading was analyzed by conducting numerical simulations and model tests, with the frequency response function and peak acceleration as the evaluation indices. The dynamic response characteristics of the overlapping structure under moving vibration loads of the high-speed railway and subway trains were further analyzed. The results showed that the dynamic response of the bridge-tunnel overlapping structure increased with the increase in the frequency under the full frequency domain single-point sweep vibration load. The dynamic response of the tunnel hance near the pile foundation side was significantly greater than the vault and invert. Compared with the effect of high-speed train loads alone, the dynamic response of the bridge-tunnel overlapping structure under the synergistic effects of high-speed railways and subways increased significantly and varied at different locations. This investigation provides theoretical support for the design and construction of bridge-tunnel overlapping structures under the synergistic effects of high-speed railways and subways, contributing to improving engineering quality and safety.
