Employing Foundation Nonlinearity to Mitigate Seismic Demand in Superstructure
Because of difficulty in inspection and retrofit of foundation in comparison with other elements, the common design philosophy is to avoid any nonlinear deformation in the foundation. This paper shows that by employing controlled foundation nonlinearity, in predetermined sections with arrangements for inspection and retrofit, it is possible to reduce seismic demand on superstructure. Localizing...
متن کاملSoil–Foundation–Structure Interaction Effects in Seismic Behavior of Bridges
Presented here is an analysis of the effects of soil-foundation-structure interaction (SFSI) on seismic response of highway bridges. Of particular importance is the issue of input motions, their scaling and application to the SFS models. The analysis presented in this paper addresses the influence of inelastic behavior of both the soil and the structural components during seismic response evalu...
متن کاملSeismic Soil-foundation Interaction Analyses of the New
A new bridge that will replace the existing Woodrow Wilson Bridge is under construction over the Potomac River in Washington, DC. The river piers are supported on cylindrical steel piles of 72, 54 and 48 inches in diameter. The longest piles (at the bascule piers) are approximately 200 ft long. Outside the river, nearly all piers are supported on 24-inch square prestressed concrete piles. Altho...
متن کاملSoft Soil Seismic Design Spectra Including Soil-structure Interaction
Design spectrum is known as an essential tool in earthquake engineering for calculation of maximum (design) responses in a structural system. Soil-structure interaction (SSI), as a phenomenon of coupling of responses of a structure and its underlying soil, was explored after introduction of design spectra and has not been taken into account in developing a design spectrum traditionally. To cons...
متن کاملVibration of Timoshenko Beam-Soil Foundation Interaction by Using the Spectral Element Method
This article presents an analysis of free vibration of elastically supported Timoshenko beams by using the spectral element method. The governing partial differential equation is elaborated to formulate the spectral stiffness matrix. Effectively, the non classical end boundary conditions of the beam are the primordial task to calibrate the phenomenon of the Timoshenko beam-soil foundation inter...
