Characteristics of Bearing Capacity of Foundations Supporting service Bridges


Osamu MURATA , Manabu NISHII
Temporary service bridges are generally executed for constructing cross structures (road, waterway, e.t.c) under railway track. As characteristics of bearing capacity of foundations (cast-in-piles, shallow foundations, e.t.c.) supporting thease service bridges are not known enough, slowdown of train speed is invaliably necessary. But demand of speed-up is more grown strong, so characteristics of bearing capacity of foundations should be more seriously studied. Then characteristics of bearing capacity of foundations were measured at a site and data for design of foundations were collected. This paper describes these test results.
