Abstract
Soil conditions have a great deal to do with damage to structures during earthquakes. This paper attempts to assess the inuence of
dynamic soilstructure interaction (SSI) on the behavior of seismically isolated cable-stayed bridge supported on a rigidly capped vertical
pile groups, which pass through moderately deep, layered soil overlying rigid bedrock. In the present approach, piles closely grouped
together beneath the towers are viewed as a single equivalent upright beam. The soilpile interaction is idealized as a beam on nonlinear
Winkler foundation using continuously distributed hysteretic springs and viscous dashpots placed in parallel. The hysteretic behavior of
soil springs is idealized using BoucWen model. The cable-stayed bridge is isolated by using high-damping rubber bearings and the
effects of SSI are investigated by performing seismic analysis in time domain using direct integration method. The seismic response of the
isolated cable-stayed bridge with SSI is obtained under bi-directional earthquake excitations (i.e. two horizontal components acting
simultaneously) considering different soil exibilities. The emphasis has been placed on assessing the signicance of nonlinear behavior of
soil that affects the response of the system and identify the circumstances under which it is necessary to include the SSI effects in
the design of seismically isolated bridges. It is observed that the soil surrounding the piles has signicant effects on the response of the
isolated bridge and the bearing displacements may be underestimated if the SSI effects are ignored. Inclusion of SSI is found essential for
effective design of seismically isolated cable-stayed bridge, specically when the towers are very much rigid and the soil condition is soft
to medium. Further, it is found that the linear soil model does not lead to accurate prediction of tower base shear response, and nonlinear
soil modeling is essential to reect dynamic behavior of the soilpile system properly.
Keywords: Cable-stayed bridge; Soilstructure interaction; Pile group; Nonlinear springs; Earthquake; Isolation system
1. Introduction
Signicant damage of bridges due to partial or complete
collapse of piers has been observed in every major seismic
event. The 1994 Northridge earthquake, 1995 Kobe earthquake and 2001 Gujarat earthquake have demonstrated
that the strength alone would not be sufcient for the
safety of bridges during the earthquake. For the past
several years, the research is focused on nding out more
rational and substantiated solutions for protection of
bridges from severe earthquake attack. Seismic isolation
is a strategy that attempts to reduce the seismic forces to or
near the elastic capacity of the member, thereby eliminating

seismic response of isolated cable-stayed bridge is investigated under the four real strong earthquake ground
motions, namely, (1) 1940 Imperial Valley, (2) 1995 Kobe,
(3) 1989 Loma Prieta and (4) 1994 Northridge earthquakes.
The rst one is widely used by the researcher in the past
and the last three represent the strong motion earthquake
records. The peak accelerations of these earthquake
ground motions are shown in Table 4. The specic
components of these ground motions applied in the
longitudinal and transverse directions are also indicated
in Table 4. The displacement and acceleration response
spectra of the above four ground motions for 2% of the
critical damping are shown in Fig. 3. The maximum
ordinates of the spectral acceleration along the longitudinal
direction are 1.302g, 4.12g, 3.55g and 3.24g occurring at
the period of 0.46, 0.35, 0.64 and 0.35 s and along the
transverse directions are 0.955g, 3.559g, 2.215g and 1.967g
occurring at the period of 0.53, 0.39, 0.4 and 0.51 s for

6. Conclusions
References
Inuence of SSI on seismic response of isolated cablestayed bridge has been investigated under bi-directional
earthquake excitations. The deck of the bridge is isolated
from the towers by using conventional high-damping
rubber bearings. Three types of layered soil strata, namely,
soft, medium and rm, have been considered for the study.
The soilpile interaction is idealized as a BNWF using
continuously distributed nonlinear springs and viscous
dashpots placed in parallel, and BoucWen model is used
to model hysteretic behavior of the soil. From the trends of
the results of the present study, following conclusions may
be drawn:
(1) For soft soil condition, the bearing displacement may
be underestimated if SSI is ignored, especially in the
longitudinal direction. However, no signicant increase
takes place in deck displacement in transverse direction.
(2) The tower base shear response in the longitudinal
direction is not much affected irrespective of the soil
types.
(3) Signicant inuence of soilpile interaction is observed
on tower base shear response in the transverse
direction. The response is much higher as compared
to that of the bridge with xed tower base when the soil
is soft to medium. As the stiffness of the soil strata
increases the effect of SSI diminishes.
(4) Analyzing the structure assuming linear soil model does
not lead to accurate prediction of tower base shear
response, and nonlinear soil modeling is essential to
reect dynamic behavior of the soilpile system
properly.
