Abstract

New aspects of modeling the soil-structure-interaction (SSI) concerning jointless non-abutment bridges on piles are given in this paper. Factors affecting the longitudinal stiffness of such a bridge with corresponding discrete finite element (FEM) modelings are presented. A FEM-analysis of a longitudinal load test of an actual highway bridge is also given. When creating modeling principles latest information of soil and bridge behaviour including stress and strain dependencies are utilized. L’article presente de nouveaux aspects de modelation de l’interaction terrain-suructure (SSI) concernant les ponts sur piliers sans jambages et sans joints. Sont egalement presents les facteurs affectant la rigidite longitudinale d’un tel pont avec les modelations d’elements finis discrets correspondants (FEM). Une analyse FEM d’un test de charge longitudinale d’un reel pont d’autoroure est aussi proposée. Lors de la creation de principles de modelation, on utilise les informations les plus recentes concernant le terrain et le comportement du pont, y compris les facteurs dependant de l’effort et de la fatigue.
