The Chengdong Hanjiang Bridge in Ankang City is a multi-span continuous beam-arch combination system bridge of (75+2×125+160+2×125+75) m, and its site is located in the earthquake zone. Calculation model based on Midas / Civil finite element software process analysis method is applied to seismic response analysis using power. At the same time, in order to influence the travelling wave effect and the seismic isolation system on the internal force of the bridge structure, corresponding finite element models were established and calculated with time history analysis. The finite element model under non-uniform excitation uses the “Large Mass Method” (LMM) for analysis and calculation under different wave velocity multi-point excitations. The results show that after considering the traveling wave effect, the displacement and bending moment of the control section of each hole increase, and the internal force of the fixed pier increases. When the wave velocity is 600m/s, the traveling wave effect strengthens the seismic response of the structure the most. With the increase of the wave velocity, the seismic response of the structure gradually approaches the seismic response under uniform excitation. After the friction pendulum seismic isolation support is used, it is fixed. The bending moment of Pier No.32 has been reduced by 80%, the stiffness of the whole bridge is more balanced, the forces of each pier are relatively close, and the isolation effect is good.
