The substructure method is applied to the dynamic analysis of a train–bridge system considering the soil–structure interaction. With this method, the integrated train–bridge–foundation–soil system is divided into the train–bridge subsystem and the soil–foundation subsystem. Further, the train–bridge subsystem is divided into the train and bridge components. The frequency-dependent impedance function of the soil–foundation subsystem is transformed into time domain by rational approximation and simulated by a high-order lumped-parameter model with masses. The equations of motion of the train and bridge components are established by the rigid-body dynamics method and the modal superposition method, respectively. Finally, the dynamic responses of the two subsystems are obtained by iterative procedures, with the influence of the soil shear velocity studied. The case study reveals that it is important to consider the effect of soil–foundation interaction in the dynamic analysis of train–bridge systems, but with the increase of the shear velocity of the soil, such influence becomes weaker.

An evaluation of the response of a fourteen story reinforced concrete building to the 1 October 1987 Whittier earthquake and 4 October 1987 aftershock shows significant effects of soil-structure interaction. A mathematical model of the building-foundation-soil system provides response quantities not directly available from the records. The model is calibrated using the dynamic properties of the building as determined from the processed strong motion records. Soil-structure interaction reduces the base shear force in the longitudinal direction of the building compared with the typical assumption in which interaction is neglected. The reduction in base shear for this building and earthquake is approximately represented by proposed building code provisions for soil-structure interaction.

Experimental And Theoretical Studies

The relevance of experimental and theoretical studies of the work of the foundation-foundation system in sudden burdens is justified. It was established that sudden loads can occur both in emergency situations and in the course of normal operation. The main criterion of sudden loading is the rate of additional or main (operational) loading, which is higher than the rate of stress redistribution in the base. In order to identify the main features of the foundation-foundation system and plan further studies, the results of preliminary experiments of the interaction of foundations with the soil base during sudden loads were analyzed. The accepted method of experimental research is described, the characteristics of the models of foundations and the power system used for testing are given. Some features of "foundation-soil" system operation in case of sudden loading are defined. Based on the conducted experiments, the need for further study of the foundation-foundation system in case of sudden loading was substantiated and the experiments were planned.

Building Walls

— Structure’s systems are subjected to additional loads due to earthquakes that may be produces progressive failures. The building illustrates dissimilar categories of failure mechanism for the minor to major earthquake conditions. These structures categorized to the most susceptible type of building has experienced serious hazard or even full failure for the period of seismic activities, therefore their investigation is a complex thing to do. Consequently, this research aims at studying the behaviour of large-scale model of structures constructed with and without brick walls under seismic conditions. The effect of building walls on the performance of the structure during earthquake loading is investigated numerically using PLAXIS 3D software. An eight story building with basement designed on a mat foundation is simulated as three-dimensional model in case of brick walls existing and without brick walls case. The effect of existence such wall building on the stability of foundation soil system is discussed in the form of lateral, horizontal deformation, and foundation acceleration. The studied showed that the reduction of extreme horizontal displacement and bending moment for building foundation with brick walls reached to 43%, and 68% respectively compared to the building without walls. The consideration of wall as filling for super structure significantly reduce the foundation acceleration by as much as 72% of its initial value, which lead to considerable effect of increasing the foundation stability.
