Soil-Structure Interaction Analysis of Suspension Bridge for Multiple-Support Seismic Input

다지지점 지진입력에 대한 현수교의 지반-구조물 상호작용해석

Member actions of long-span suspension bridge due to multiple-support motion are generally larger than those for synchronous support motion frequently employed in aseismic design of a conventional structure. In this study, all the sources of the asynchronous support motion are considered including the loss of coherence and the soil-structure interaction as well as the time delay due to wave propagation of seismic waves. The substructure technique analyzing total soil-foundation-structure system as a superposition of two sub-structures including soil-foundation system and structure itself is employed for the seismic response analysis of the suspension bridge. Finally, an application example is presented to demonstrate applicability of the proposed methodology.
