| Abstract: |
This paper describes a method useful as a design tool for the practical planning of integral bridges. The application of integral bridge brings some specific problems, especially the interaction between the superstructure, the substructure and the surrounding soil. One of the main problems of the practical design is to take into account the influence of the surrounding soil in a proper way. The paper suggests the original way solving this practical engineering problem. The developed method gives a design tool to simulate the soil-structure interaction using elastic supports introduced into the static system of the integral bridge and how to determine stiffness of these supports. |
