SEISMIC ANALYSIS OF HIGH PIER VIADUCT WITH HIGHWAY AND RAILWAY

Bannosu Viaduct, one of the Honshu Shikoku Bridges adjacent to the Bisanseto Suspension Bridge, is planned to carry four lane roadways and four railway lines. This viaduct has high piers, about 40 to 70 meters, and pile foundations deeply penetrated into the comparatively soft ground. The behavior of these structures during an earthquake, therefore, is affected by the dynamic characteristics of foundation-pile systems. The design of the structures considering earthquakes, therefore, is affected by the dynamic characteristics of foundation-pile systems. The design of the structures considering earthquake-proofing and the running stability of railway cars during an earthquake is required. In particular, to secure the running stability of railway cars, it is important to design the viaduct having a definite range of dynamic characteristics. The viaduct must be designed to avoid resonating with the ground vibrations.
