Abstract
The superstructure of a coastal bridge is prone to overturn or unseating under a catastrophic tsunami, which seriously affects the post-disaster emergency rescue. In this paper, we establish a safety assessment framework for the superstructure of a bridge with a box girder under a potential landslide tsunami, and apply it to an in-service box girder and Baiyun Slide Complex on the southeast coast of China. First, a meshless numerical approach called Tsunami Squares (TS) is used to predict the movement of landslides and tsunamis. Additionally, we introduce the velocity-weakening basal friction effect in the model to optimize the landslide dynamics. Second, the maximum lateral and vertical wave loads on a box girder can be estimated using the time series of the wave height and velocity in the TS model. Third, we construct a safety evaluation method for the superstructure using the reaction of the bearing as the critical index. The results indicate that the framework developed here provides instructive guidance for evaluating the safety of coastal bridge superstructures during tsunami disasters, and we discuss the influence of the basal friction effect, bridge elevation, and support type on the structural safety.
