Abstract

In this chapter, the influence of differential settlement and scouring effect of pier foundations on the dynamic responses of train-bridge system is studied. The influence factors of differential settlement and the mechanism of stream scouring effect of pier foundations are summarized. A prediction method for cumulative settlement of bridge foundations caused by cyclic train loading is proposed, and the differential settlement of existing bridge foundations induced by the construction of nearby bridge is studied by numerical simulation. Based on an engineering case, the influence of differential settlement of bridge foundations on the dynamic responses of train-bridge system is studied, and the train speed-settlement threshold curves for running safety and riding comfort of train are proposed. The calculation formulae of scouring depth are given, and the stiffness of a single pile and the equivalent stiffness of group-piles are studied, based on which the scouring effects on the stiffness of bridge foundations and the dynamic responses of train-bridge system are investigated.
