A Study on Seismic Design Code of Cable-railway Culumns

삭도시설 강지주의 내진설계기준에 관한 검토

Steel culumns, main members of cable-railway structure, are linked each other by cable, its structural behavior is considered as cantilever structure. Under the present cable-railway code, main design load is wind load which is only defined vertical load. But the frequency of earthquake occurrence has increased in recent days and the seismic design code is intensified, necessities of seismic design are discussed. In this study, necessities of seismic design code of cable-railway are proposed by examining the seismic response of cable-railway columns designed by KBC(Korea Building Code), by comparing structural behavior of seismic and wind.
