The Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) Effect exists everywhere, but the existing researches on actual damping of SSI system are not so sufficient, and the analysis of its real dynamic response becomes unsuitable to engineering applications. In this paper, the possibility of regarding SSI system as classical damping system in linear elastic range is studied. The motion domains and the equation of the dynamic system in each domain are confirmed with respect to boundaries. The research on Shaking Table Test of SSI system is shown as an example of supporting the feasibility of regarding SSI system as classical damping system similarly.

Shaking table test on soil-structure interaction system in harder site condition is presented briefly in this paper. Three-dimensional finite element analysis on shaking table test is carried out using ANSYS program. The surface-to-surface contact element is taken into consideration for the nonlinearity of the state of the interface of the soil-pile and an equivalent linear model is used for soil behavior. By comparing the results of the finite element analysis with the data from shaking table tests, the computational model is validated. Based on the calculation results, the paper gives the seismic responses under the consideration of soil-structure interaction in harder site condition, including acceleration response, contact analysis on soil pile interface and so on.

Rigid Frame Bridge

To investigate the seismic response of long-span rigid frame bridges with high-pier, the shaking table test of a 1/10 scaled rigid frame bridge model is introduced in this paper. Details about test equipment, model design, test arrangement, input ground motion waves and test principle are provided. The response of bridge model under the seismic excitation included the uniform excitation and the multi-support excitation is observed. The influence of the soil-structure interaction on the bridge is considered through the real-time dynamic hybrid testing method. The impact effect for different ground motion input during the test is discussed. The influence of multi-support excitation, soil-structure interaction and impact effect on structural seismic responses are studied based on the test results. The isolation effectiveness and the damping effect are discussed as well.

Girder Bridge

The paper analyses the effect of Soil-Structure-Interaction (SSI) on the modal dynamic response of simply-supported span girder bridge with wall piers founded on caissons. A parametric analysis has been carried out in the hypothesis of linear elastic behaviour of all materials (soil and structure) to identify the influence of various design factors, such as the height of the pier, the caisson embedment below the ground level and the soil mechanical properties. The goal of the paper is to highlight SSI effects on the dynamic behaviour of bridges. This is a crucial aspect to be accounted for in order to support monitoring activities on bridges, aimed to structural identification or assessment of structure response under serviceability conditions, or also to have preliminary information for the seismic analysis of the bridge.
