Numerical Analysis of the Dynamic Response of Concrete Bridge Piers under the Impact of Rock Debris Flow
Mai-Li Cheng
Abstract:The impact and damage caused by debris flow on concrete bridges have become a typical disaster scenario. However, the impact disaster mechanism of debris flow on bridge structures remains unclear. This study focused on investigating the impact mechanism of debris avalanches on concrete bridge piers. By employing the discrete element numerical simulation method to examine the effect of debris on concrete bridge piers, the analysis explored the influence of three significant factors: the pier’s section shape, th… Show more
