Abstract

In recent years, ship-bridge collisions have occurred frequently, significantly increasing the risk of damage to bridge substructures. To evaluate the safety performance of the damaged double-column pier and determine the optimal reinforcement scheme, the ship collision accident involving Xietang Bridge was used as the engineering case study. Several feasible reinforcement measures were proposed, and the impact resistance of each scheme was compared using finite element simulations. The results show that, among the two impact conditions with different loading states, the peak impact force under the fully loaded condition is 2.68 MN, and the residual displacement on the impacted side of the pile cap is approximately 291 mm, indicating that a collision with a fully loaded standard cargo vessel is the most likely cause of the actual accident. Under the same impact conditions, compared with the unreinforced pier, the pier strengthened using the section-enlargement scheme has a 47.7% higher peak impact force and provides the greatest improvement in the impact resistance of the bridge with double-column piers. The impact angle has a greater influence on the impact duration and the dynamic response of the bridge, thus increasing the risk of overall bridge collapse. This study provides a reference for ship-collision assessment and reinforcement design of bridges with double-column piers.
