1 Response Modification of Urban Infrastructure 7 Chapter 7 Rocking Isolation of Foundations Kazuhiko Kawashima Tokyo Institute of Technology

2 Requirements of Foundations in Seismic Design Static Seismic Design Bearing capacity Sliding Rocking Dynamic Response Sliding + Rocking Rocking + Jump

3 Requirements for Rocking Response in the Static Design M B V Eccentricity e l b q max Eccentricity M B e = < e a V Allowable Eccentricity e a = l l /3 / 6 Static Static +Seismic Bearing Capacity V 6M q max = + < lb lb B q 2 a

4 Akashi Strait Bridge The World Longest Bridge In the static design, overturning was the major factor for sizing those foundations

5 Is it true that such a large foundation overturns under a seismic excitation?? Mass Natural period Frequency content of a ground motion

6 Overturning of Foundation-Tower System of Akashi Straight Bridge Static Analysis on Overturning of Foundation- Tower System was eliminated from seismic design This is because static overturning analysis is unrealistic Decision of design was made based on nonlinear dynamic response analysis and a preliminary static design based on critical velocity which results in overturning

14 Concept of Rocking Isolation of Rion Anti-Rion Bridge Fault dislocation as large as 2 m is anticipated although the location of fault is not known. Rocking isolation reduces bridge response.
