On the influence of shallow soil strata on the dynamic soil–structure interaction of simply supported high-speed railway bridges
The influence of dynamic soil–structure interaction (SSI) on simply supported railway bridges is investigated. Impedance functions are calculated considering shallow foundations in soil strata limited by bedrock. The impedance functions are coupled to bridge models, and the assembled soil–bridge systems are investigated addressing the modal properties. A parametric study is performed on a large set of soil–bridge systems. Finally, the response to train loading is analysed. The study shows that the effects of SSI are essentially different depending on whether radiation damping is active or not. Shorter bridges are often affected by radiation damping and the response due to train loading may be significantly reduced when SSI is considered. However, for longer bridges (>15 m) the effect of SSI is often small. Due to the stiffness reduction of the impedance, some bridges may even have a detrimental effect from SSI and a reduction of the traffic speed is obtained.
