The track structure is a possible factor limiting the energy dissipation function of cushion seats of a railway bridge in earthquake.In order to analyze the effects of rail restraints on seismic behavior of railway bridges equipped with cushion seats,two 32 m-span simply-supported beam bridges of dedicated high-speed passenger railway lines installed with different cushion seats were taken as the objects for study.The longitudinal displacement-resistance relationship of roadbeds were simulated with nonlinear spring elements.The rail-bridge model was established,which was under the coaction of rail and bridge in earthquake.Elastic-plastic seismic responses were analyzed.The research results show as follows:The influence of the track structures on the natural frequencies of vibration of railway bridges with cushion seats cannot be ignored,and the degree of influence changes with the roadbed resistance,i.e.,the higher the roadbed resistance coefficient,the higher the natural frequency of vibration of the track structure;the influence of track restraints on the maximum seismic shear forces at the bottom of piers is small,the influence on longitudinal seismic displacements of girders and on deformations of cushion seats may be subject to both increase and decrease;unfavourable factors caused be track restraints should be taken into consideration in seismic design of railway bridges,requirements for allowable displacements between adjacent girders should be intensified adequately.
