Coupled Horizontal and Vertical Component Analysis of Strong Ground Motions for Soil-Pile-Superstructure Systems: Application to a Bridge Pier with Soil-Structure Interaction

Résumé

This study investigates the influence of vertical components (VCs) of seismic excitations on the response of short and tall (slender) superstructures, and compares them with the system response under only horizontal components (HCs). The first part of the study examines the capability of the bounding multi-surface plasticity model to identify dynamic soil properties and soil-pile-superstructure system response to the HCs of a strong ground motion using existing results from dynamic centrifuge tests. The influence of VCs on short and tall superstructures is then investigated, and compared with system response under only HCs. A procedure is proposed to select strong vertical ground motion to complete a nonlinear time-history analysis with a three-dimensional finite element model. Step-by-step modelling techniques are described with a direct-method framework to simulate complex soil-pile-superstructure systems. This study emphasises the role of VCs in the general response of the system in regard to selected damage parameters for pile foundations. The results indicate that VCs may have increasing effects on axial loads and maximum pile-cap displacements for short superstructures. In addition, contrary to the vertical vibration period of the superstructure, the variation of the superstructure's horizontal vibration period with the peak ground acceleration ratio (V/H) may be significant.
