Abstract
Bridges' response to extreme loading conditions, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, are critical to allow for continued evacuation and an effective emergency response. In this paper, dynamic responses and soil-foundation-structure interaction of bridges during earthquakes and tsunamis are analyzed by 3D, nonlinear, finite element modeling. This paper presents the research results of simple-span and two-span bridges with fully integral abutments, and the deep foundation type focused on is HP steel piles. The effect of pile orientations on bridge behavior is studied. The results show that it is more economical to orient the HP pile's web parallel to the bridge transverse direction.
