The objective of this study is to evaluate elastic modulus of bridge-axis direction for optimum structure system in the cable-stayed bridge design. In numerical example of this study, a slight change in axis direction elastic modulus causes major modifications of the bridge characteristics when it is $1\times10^4$ tonf/m/bearing or less. Therefore, the elastic modulus was set at this lower limit of $1\times10^4$ tonf/m/bearing where the strength of the entire bridge system is still determined by girder strength and the entire system is insensitive to variations in elastic modulus. Besides, cable-stayed bridge with freely supported girders have slightly longer vibration periods in the horizontal direction for earthquake forces.

A numerical analysis of cable-stayed bridge is conducted to determine optimum longitudinal modulus of elasticity which represents the boundary condition between the tower and main girder. The effect of longitudinal modulus of elasticity is investigated for different loading condition (live load, wind load, seismic load), respectively. There are significant changes in the member forces as variations of longitudinal modulus of elasticity, such as, $k_h$=e=100tonf/m/bearing (live load), $k_h$=e=1000tonf/m/bearing (seismic load), However, the wind loads do not affect member forces. The optimum longitudinal modulus of elasticity is determined from considering minimum member forces in the numerical analysis results.

케이블 장대 교량의 해석에 있어서 기하적인 비선형만을 고려한 해석이 보편적이었다. 하지만 이 연구에서는 내진 해석시 케이블지지 교량이 비탄성적으로 거동 할 수 있기 때문에, 기하적인 비선형 이외에 재료적인 비선형을 고려할 필요가 있음을 보이고자 한다. 극한 하중 상태를 모사하기 위하여 사하중에 하중계수를 곱하여 하중을 증가시켜 중력방향으로 하중을 가하였고, 지진에 대한 하중 상태를 모사하기 위하여 교축방향의 지진 하중에 대한 등가의 등분포 하중과 이의 0.3배에 해당하는 수직 방향 하중을 동시에 가하였다. 이러한 해석을 통하여 자중의 2배 이상의 하중이 가해지면 거더가 비탄성적으로 거동 할 수 있고, 또한 교축 방향과 수직 방향의 설계지진하중을 고려할 경우 수평방향의 구속이 모두 풀리면 주탑이 비탄성적으로 거동 할 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 따라서 케이블지지 교량의 지진 해석시 특정한 경우에 있어서는 비탄성 거동을 고려해야 할 필요가 있을 것으로 보인다.

This study presents the nonlinear dynamic analysis method of the bridge with the seismic isolation bearing. Also the numerical analyses are performed for investigating the response characteristics of the bridge isolated with the lead-rubber bearing under the ground motions compatible to Korea bridge design response spectra. It is found that the pier design force can be considerably smaller than the one for the bridge with the fixed bearing. It is observed that the lead-rubber bearing has the great effectiveness for reducing the longitudinal seismic force in case of the bridges with low and medium periods. Therefore the seismic isolation bearing can be used instead of the fixed bearing for the economic and safe design of the bridge.
