Performance Evaluation of Railroad Bridge Foundation under Design Earthquake

철도교량 기초지반의 내진성능평가

At the present time, civil structure based of aseismatic design in the Korea began about 1997. However, most of the railway bridge constructed with block and block in the past can easily deteriorate with time due to the increase of repeated traffic loading, increase of train speed, etc. In this study, soil properties of the substructure of railway bridge with block and block was investigated through the SASW(spectral Analysis or Surface Waves) and RCTC test in the field and laboratories. Also, stabilization of liquefaction after occurred earthquake was investigated through the Seed ＆ Idress method use of N value and Andrus and Stoke method use of S-Wave velocity.
