In the case of structural analysis for building structures, the super-structure and the sub-structure are analyzed by using separate structural models in the field because of time saving, facile result interpretation and easy analysis of dynamic behavior. However this separate structural model violated the compatibility condition of structural analysis and it can not consider the interaction of superand sub- structures. In the present study, the analysis results of this separate model were compared to those of the unified model of super- and sub- structures which can consider the interaction of super- and sub- structures and reflect the realistic boundary conditions. According to the comparison results, the the analysis model using separate models can underestimate the member force and deflection of structural members in the super-structures and overestimate the deflection and member force of sub-structures. Therefore, in the case of high-rise buildings, irregular shaped buildings, buildings which are expected to be affected by large differential settlement and remodeling buildings, the unified structural model for super- and sub- structures was recommended for structural analysis instead of the separate structural model.

In this paper, the sub-structuring technique-applied train-bridge interaction analysis model, which is formulated based on the simplified three-dimensional train-bridge interaction analysis model for high-speed bridge-train interaction analysis, is presented. In the sub-structuring technique, the super-structure and the supporting structure of railway bridges can be modeled as sub-structures, and train-bridge interaction analysis can be efficiently performed. As a train analysis model, two-dimensional train model is used, and the Lagrange equation of motion is applied to derive the equation of motion of two-dimensional train. In the sub-structuring technique, the number of degrees of freedom can be reduced by using the condensation method, thus reducing the time and cost for calculating the eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and the time and cost for the subsequent calculation. In this paper, Guyan reduction method is used as sub-structuring technique. By combining simplified three-dimensional bridge-train interaction analysis and Guyan reduction method, the efficient and accurate bridge-train interaction analysis can be performed.
