Study on longitudinal seismic responses of CWRsCcontinuous welded rails) on large-span bridges is of great significance.Taking one large-span bridge as an example,longitudinal seismic responses of CWRs under uniform excitation were studied.Influence of laying of small resistance fasteners,beam temperature differences and seismic wave spectrum characteristics on the maximum CWRs longitudinal force was analysed.Results show as follows;Rail restraints have great influence on the low-order longitudinal natural frequencies of the large-span bridge structure;the maximum rail forces at beam joints under the action of earthquake motion are much larger than the maximum expansion forces calculated according to the current specifications,so the index of rail seismic force is suggested to be added to the related railway engineering specifications;in the case that small resistance fasteners are installed on large-span bridges,the maximum rail force will be decreased by 20%~30%in earthquake;CWRs design for large-span bridges located across earthquake zones should take beam temperature differences into rational consideration,and the low-order longitudinal natural frequencies of the bridge structures should be designed to avoid the main frequency bands of seismic waves on site,otherwise the working status of CWRs will be subjected to severe tests when in case of earthquake.
