Vessel-Bridge Collision Reliability Assessment Based on Structural Dynamic Analysis

Table 5

Boundary and connection conditions of main bridge.

	X	Y	Z	XX	YY	ZZ
Tower-beam junction	0	1	1	1	0	0
Auxiliary pier-beam junction	0	1	1	1	0	0
Transition pier-beam junction	0	1	1	1	0	0

Note. X, Y, and Z are translational degrees of freedom along, across, and vertical bridge, respectively. XX, YY, and ZZ are the rotational degrees of freedom along, across, and vertical bridge, respectively. 1 represents constraint; 0 represents freedom.
