Research Abstract

The movable shoes and expansion joints of the bridge give negative effects to its fabrication cost, earthquake resistance and comfortable driving. The main theme of this project is to show that these parts can be removed from the steel bridge. In order of prove this, analysis of the complete model which involves not only super and substructure but also its foundations. Modeling of the stiffeness of the foundation which is most difficult, was able to be exhibited in this project.
The waves which are radiated from the pile and the surface of the foundation, were divided into several factors and the equivalent model to each factor was built. They were conbined suitably to express the mutual reactions among the portions constructing the bridge system. These models, expressing with the spring, mass and the dash-pot, enable the non-linear phnomena of the to be anlysed. As the result of calculations and experiments, the following items were able to be shown.
1. The foundation of the footing can be replaced to the equivalent forked model. The spring constant is proportional to the cicruit length of the footing and the attenuation constant of the dash-pot is proprtional to the bottom area of the footing.
2. The pile foundation can be replaced to 2 or 3 series forked models because the wave diffusing cylindrically, exells.
3. As to the movable shoes, reliablity of injury is very high on occasion of a severe earthquake.
4. The structure from which movable or hinge shoes and expansion joints are removed, is not so expensive and rather economical on some conditions. The reliablity of injury of this type is less than otherwise.
