Seismic Response Characteristics of High-Speed Railway Hub Station Considering Pile-Soil Interactions by Ning Zhang, Ziwei Chen

“…The results show that the hub station structural system, considering pile-soil interaction, presents the ‘soft-upper-rigid-down’ characteristics as a whole, and the natural vibration is lower than that of the station structure with a rigid foundation assumption. Under the action of three strong seismic motions, the nonlinear site seismic effect is significant, the surface acceleration is significantly enlarged, and decreases with the buried depth. …”

Investigation on Dynamic Factors of Railway Steel-Plate–Concrete Composite Beam Bridges With Small and Medium Spans by Jin Di, Yi Su, Yuxuan Han, Jinming Luo, Fengjiang Qin, Rui Yan

“…Dynamic factor (DF) is an important indicator for describing the dynamic action of a train on a bridge. For small- and medium-span bridges, although existing research and codes have studied and specified the DF of steel–concrete composite beam bridges, few studies have been refined to steel-plate–concrete composite beam bridges (SPCCBs), and the effect of eccentric loads has not been considered. …”
