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.

Effect Of Structure

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.

Current seismic design practice assumes the base of the building to be fixed and does not consider the flexibility of foundation and soil. This assumption is realistic only when the structure is founded on solid rock or when the relative stiffness of the foundation soil compared to the superstructure is high. Whereas, in reality due to natural ability of soil to deform, supporting soil medium modifies the response of the structure during earthquake to some extent. In this work the effect of soil structure interaction on seismic response of building resting on different types of foundation was studied. Present work aims to study the effect of soil structure interaction on seismic response of building resting on fixed base, pile foundation, raft foundation and combined pile-raft foundation. G+9 RCC building is analyzed for earthquake loads considered in zone III by response spectrum method and storey displacement and base shear force of building by considering and without considering SSI effect is found out by using MIDAS GEN software.

Recent studies show that the effects of Soil Structure Interaction (SSI) may be detrimental to the seismic response of structure and neglecting SSI in analysis may lead to un-conservative design. Despite this, the conventional design procedure usually involves assumption of fixity at the base of foundation neglecting the flexibility of the foundation, the compressibility of soil mass and consequently the effect of foundation settlement on further redistribution of bending moment and shear force demands. The effects of SSI are analyzed for typical multi-story building resting on raft foundation. Three methods of analysis are used for seismic demands evaluation of the target moment resistant frame buildings: equivalent static load (ESL); response spectrum (RS) methods and nonlinear time history (TH) analysis with suit of nine time history records. Three-dimensional Finite Element (FE) model is constructed to analyze the effects of different soil conditions and number of stories on the vibration characteristics and seismic response demands of building structures. Numerical results obtained using soil structure interaction model conditions are compared to those corresponding to fixed-base support conditions. The peak responses of story shear, story moment, story displacement, story drift, moments at beam ends, as well as force of inner columns are analyzed.

Cable Stayed Bridge

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.

Calculation Results

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.
