The paper focuses on the effects of the spatial variability of ground motion induced by local site conditions on the seismic response of multi-span viaducts on pile foundations. Analyses are performed accounting for the soil-structure interaction: the kinematic interaction problem is formulated in the frequency domain and lumped parameter models are adopted to reproduce the frequency-dependent behaviour of the soil-foundation system in the non-linear inertial interaction analysis. Effects of the non-synchronous seismic action on the seismic response of a long bridge founded on a soft soil deposit overlying an inclined bedrock are investigated. Comparisons with results achieved with synchronous seismic motions demonstrate the significance of site effects on the response of long bridges.

Abstract

The paper focuses on the effects of the spatial variability of ground motion induced by local site conditions on the seismic response of multi-span viaducts on pile foundations. Analyses are performed accounting for the soil-structure interaction: the kinematic interaction problem is formulated in the frequency domain and lumped parameter models are adopted to reproduce the frequency-dependent behaviour of the soil-foundation system in the non-linear inertial interaction analysis. Effects of the non-synchronous seismic action on the seismic response of a long bridge founded on a soft soil deposit overlying an inclined bedrock are investigated. Comparisons with results achieved with synchronous seismic motions demonstrate the significance of site effects on the response of long bridges.
