In this thesis, based on the design of a 140+90m span unusual single tower and single cable plane cable-stayed bridge, free vibration characteristics and seismic response are investigated; three dimensional finite element models of a single tower cable-stayed bridge with and without the pile-soil-structure interaction are established respectively by utilizing finite element software MIDAS/CIVIL, seismic response of Response spectrum and Earthquake schedule are analyzed respectively and compared. By the comparison of the data analysis, for small stiffness span cable-stayed bridge, the pile-soil-structure interaction can not be ignored with calculation and analysis of seismic response.

Analysis and design of structures subjected to arbitrary dynamic loadings especially earthquakes have been studied during past decades. In practice, the effects of soil-structure interaction on the dynamic response of structures are usually neglected. In this study, the effect of soil-structure interaction on the dynamic response of structures has been examined. The substructure method using dynamic stiffness of soil is used to analyze soil-structure system. A coupled model based on finite element method and scaled boundary finite element method is applied. Finite element method is used to analyze the structure, and scaled boundary finite element method is applied in the analysis of unbounded soil region. Due to analytical solution in the radial direction, the radiation condition is satisfied exactly. The material behavior of soil and structure is assumed to be linear. The soil region is considered as a homogeneous half-space. The analysis is performed in time domain. A computer program is prepared to analyze the soil-structure system. Comparing the results with those in literature shows the exactness and competency of the proposed method.

Parameters Selection

Perfectly matched layer (PML) is known as one of the best methods to simulate infinite domains in many fields such as soil-structure interaction (SSI). The performance of PML is significantly affected by PML parameters selection. However, the way to select PML parameters still remains unclear. This study proposes a method for PML parameters determination for elastic wave propagation in two-dimensional (2D) media. The scaling and attenuation functions are developed in order to increase the accuracy and effectiveness of the PML. The proposed scheme is applied for a mixed PML in time domain. The finite element method (FEM) formulations of the PML are presented so that it can be easily applied to the existing codes. ABAQUS, a popular FEM code, is used for numerical applications in this study. The proposed PML is imported into ABAQUS by using a user-defined element (UEL) written in Fortran language. Six numerical analyses of SSI are implemented to prove the efficiency of the proposed PML. The numerical analyses cover many realistic problems, including free field, surface structure, and embedded structure problems. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed PML in terms of the accuracy and computational cost.
