@A new bridge foundation namedg Sheet-Pile Foundationh has been proposed based on our studies. Sheet-pile
which is usually used as temporary member in an excavation work is being recognized to be used as permanent
structure of high bearing capacity by connecting it to the footing.
This paper reports a full-scale loading test of a sheet-pile foundation which can be used for a single track overhead
railway. The result of this test shows the high bearing capacity and bearing mechanism in the test structure.
Furthermore, we studied applicability of the seismic design method for a sheet-pile foundation based on monitoring
data of the full-scale loading test.
