Structural Design Method of Over - Track Building with no Footing Beams

Abstract

This paper describes the summary of structural design method of "OOI-MACHI STATION BUILDING" constructed at Ooimachi-Station, Tokyo, in 1993. This building is a over-track building to utilize the aerial spase over railways, KeihinTohoku-line and Tokaido-line. Due to the limited construction site nearby tracks, this building is structurally characterized by having no footing beems in the trasverse direction of the tracks. On the basis of the experimental study of column-pile connection and lateral-load tests of concrete-filled steel pipe piles, we established a new structural design method of this type of structure .
