In this thesis, based on the design of a 140+90m span unusual single tower and single cable plane cable-stayed bridge, free vibration characteristics and seismic response are investigated; three dimensional finite element models of a single tower cable-stayed bridge with and without the pile-soil-structure interaction are established respectively by utilizing finite element software MIDAS/CIVIL, seismic response of Response spectrum and Earthquake schedule are analyzed respectively and compared. By the comparison of the data analysis, for small stiffness span cable-stayed bridge, the pile-soil-structure interaction can not be ignored with calculation and analysis of seismic response.

In the present study, a large-scale seismic response analysis of a super-high-rise steel frame considering the soil–structure interaction is conducted. A high-fidelity mesh of a 31-story super-high-rise steel frame and the ground underneath it, which is made completely of hexahedral elements, is generated. The boundary conditions that are consistent with the solution of the one-dimensional (1D) wave propagation analysis are imposed on the side and bottom surfaces of the ground. The waves are assumed to propagate in the vertical direction. The 1D wave propagation analysis is conducted under the excitation of the JR Takatori record of the 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake. The parallel large-scale analysis is performed using the K computer, which is one of the fastest supercomputers in the world. The results of the models with and without the ground are compared, which reveals that the results obtained by these two models are very similar because the ground is assumed be sufficiently hard in the present study.
