Abstract:
Since the superstructure and foundation of a bridge work together in resisting external forces, a more accurate understanding of the properties of the whole structure should be achieved by analyzing superstructure and foundation together rather than separately. A method is developed with assumes that the ground is elastic and treats the foundation as springs located in supporting points of the superstructure.
