Abstract
We here consider the design loads due to earthquake-induced oscillations of a novel type of tubular bridge/tunnel (called a pipebridge), which contains a road within a tube of diameter 10m, and is submerged below the surface of the water at depths of up to 40m. The highest loads occur for sections near the free surface, which radiate waves caused by the pipebridge motions. We here compare the loads predicted by a very simple added-mass model with those from the numerical solution of the fully nonlinear problem.
