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.

This paper instancing of Harbin Sifangtai Cable-Stayed Bridge, simulates two kinds of non-linear bridge tower model considering the pile - soil - structure interaction and not considering using ABAQUS6.8 software. By comparing the frequency, modal, displacement of the tower top, acceleration of the bridge tower and stress of the tower bottom under two circumstances, analyzing and obtaining the conclusion that the seismic response results will be very different to a long-span Cable-Stayed Bridge, whether considering the pile - soil - structure interaction or not.

Taking the Sifang Bridge in Yunnan Province in China as an example, this paper analysis the influences of soil-structure interaction on seismic response of extradosed cable-stayed bridge with response spectrum method. The results show that extradosed cable-stayed bridge has a shorter nature period than cable-stayed bridge, and torsional vibration mode does not happen in the first few modes as the beam has a bigger stiffness. The displacement of the structure will be underestimated if the soil-structure interaction is ignored while the design of some parts is conservative.

As an effective way of passive damping, isolation technology has been widely used in all types of building structures. Currently, for its theoretical analysis, it usually follows the rigid foundation assumption and ignores soil-structure interaction, which results in calculation results distortion in conducting seismic response analysis. In this paper, three-dimensional finite element method is used to establish finite element analysis model of large chassis single-tower base isolation structure which considers and do not consider soil-structure interaction. The calculation results show that: after considering soil-structure interaction, the dynamic characteristics of the isolation structure, and seismic response are subject to varying degrees of impact.

Abstract The present study assesses the effect of Structure-Soil-Structure-Interaction (SSSI) on the seismic behavior of three dissimilar adjacent bridges by comparing their seismic responses with the seismic response of the isolated bridge including Soil-Structure-Interaction (SSI). To this end, an extensive series of numerical analyses have been carried out to elicit the effects of Structure-Soil-Structure-Interaction (SSSI) on the seismic behavior of three dissimilar bridges with different superstructure masses. The studied bridges are based on groups of piles founded in nonlinear clay. A parametric study has been performed for configurations of three dissimilar bridges with superstructure masses ratios of 200% and 300%, concentrating on the influence of the inter-bridge spacing, and the geometrical position of the bridges towards each other and towards the seismic excitation direction. The numerical analyses have been conducted using a three-dimensional finite difference modeling software FLAC 3D (Fast Lagrangian analysis of continua in 3 dimensions). The results of the numerical simulations clearly show that the seismic responses of the dissimilar grouped bridges were strongly influenced by the neighboring bridges. In particular, the results reveal a salient positive impact on the acceleration of the superstructure by a considerable drop (up to 90.63%) and by (up to 91.27%) for the internal forces induced in the piles. Comparably, the influence of bridge arrangement towards the seismic loading were prominent on both of superstructure acceleration and the internal forces in the piles. The responses were as much as 27 times lesser for the acceleration and 11 times smaller for the internal forces than the response of the isolated bridge. Contrarily, the inter-bridge spacing has a limited effect on the seismic response of the grouped bridges.
