چکیده مقاله
A numerical study is conducted in this paper to investigate the effect of soil structure interaction on modal characteristics of an integral bridge The study includes four different interaction scenarios applied to a four span integral reinforced concrete bridge These scenarios are selected such that they capture common boundary conditions of pile foundations supported on sandy soil A three dimensional fiberbased distributed plasticity finite element analysis is carried out in OpenSees to assess the dynamic response and modal properties of the bridge Numerical results indicate that modal characteristics of the bridge can be significantly affected in different interaction scenarios Besides, the effect of higher modes may vary in different soil structure interaction scenarios As the stiffness of the foundation and soil increases, the contribution of higher modes in the behavior of the bridge increases Therefore, the effect of soil structure interaction should be carefully modeled and included in the seismic assessment of integral bridges in order to achieve realistic and accurate seismic evaluation for engineering applications
