Abstract: Continuous beam bridges of monopile foundation are commonly used due to its good stress performance, stiffness and beautiful shape. However, scouring will weaken the lateral restraint of soil on pile foundation. It affects the dynamics of the bridge structure and make pile foundation vulnerable to earthquakes. Therefore, it is required to analyze its impacts on continuous beam bridges, especially the seismic vulnerability of the pile foundations. This paper establishes a 3D nonlinear analysis model with OpenSees software, which obtains the probabilistic seismic demand models at three scouring depths by linear regression analysis and incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). It has drawn and analyzed seismic vulnerability curves of pile foundation at three different scouring depths. The influence of scouring around pile foundations on bridge dynamics, seismic response, and vulnerability is obtained. The results indicate that the failure probability of pile foundation decreases with the increase in scouring depth. This demonstrates that scouring around the pile foundation weakens the lateral soil restraint, increasing the natural vibration period of bridge as well as softening the bridge structure. This reduces the maximum seismic response of pile foundation, which is conductive to the seismic resistance of bridge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
