Techniques for soil property estimation can be categorized into two main groups, in-situ and laboratory methods. Previous investigations indicated that strong ground motions record provides a very useful tool to estimating the in-situ characteristics of soil. The main objective of the present work is to utilize the particle swarm optimization algorithm(PSOA) integrated with linear site response method to obtain the equivalent soil profile characteristics from the available surface and bedrock earthquake motion records. To demonstrate the numerical efficiency and the validity of this approach, the procedure is validated against an available case. Then this procedure is utilized to identify the soil properties profiles of the site by using strong ground motions data recorded during the Bam earthquake of December 26, 2003. The magnitude and PGA of Bam earthquake were MW 6.6 and 0.8 g respectively.  相似文献

In this paper, a method to determine free field response spectrum of a soil deposit from a specified bed rock response spectrum is presented. This method treats the earthquake motion as if it was a stationary Gaussian random process but to account for the non-stationary character, an approximate method is used. The soil deposit is assumed to have mechanical properties (strength, shear modulus, etc.) increasing with some power exponent of depth. This layer overlies either a compliant elastic half space or a layer with shear modulus increasing linearly with depth.To demonstrate the validity and usefulness of this approach, two examples are presented. The first one consists in the transfer, from bed rock to free surface of a given soil profile, of the response spectrum derived from an accelerogram used to generate the Eurocode 8 response spectrum. The obtained free field response spectrum is compared to the one obtained by using a wave propagation program. The second example consists in the validation of this method with experimental records.  相似文献

Spatial distribution of soil macroporosity was determined for a forest podzol from tension infiltrometer measurements at the soil surface. Surface‐derived macroporosity values were compared with point infiltration characteristics obtained from soil water content and soil water chemistry measurements during an experimental irrigation, and with parameters of a kinematic wave model applied to soil water content data. Macroporosity estimated by the tension infiltrometer ranged from 0·00087 to 0·0219% of soil volume, and infiltration at these two sites was dominated by propagation of a well‐defined wetting front through the soil profile and bypass flow via soil macropores, respectively. Infiltration at sites with intermediate macroporosities reflected a combination of these two processes, although results were inconclusive at one site owing to lateral flow at the base of the soil profile. There was no agreement between macroporosities estimated by the tension infiltrometer and the kinematic wave model. The maximum soil conductance parameter within the profile at a site, however, was related directly to the surface‐derived macroporosity. The partial agreement between surface‐derived macroporosity estimates and point infiltration characteristics shown here supports the use of tension infiltrometry as a rapid, non‐destructive method of assessing spatial variations in the relative contribution of macropore flow to the infiltration process.

For the identification of multi-degree-of-freedom structures, it is not practical to identify all of the parameters included in the structures because enormous computation time is required and because identifiability may not be possible. In this paper, a localized identification approach through substructuring is formulated in the frequency domain. A technique of spectral smoothing is incorporated in the approach to deal with noise-corrupted data. The proposed approach can be used to identify the structural parameters in any part of interest in a structure. The numerical investigations for a lumped mass-spring-dashpot system indicate that faster convergence and higher accuracy are achieved and the noise influences on the identified results are reduced greatly by spectral smoothing. The approach also applies to whole-structure identification if the required records available and the numerical example shows that higher accuracy results are obtained with less cpu time and more poorly guessed initial values as compared with the general complete-structure identification.  相似文献

An innovative damage identification method using the nearest neighbor search method to assess 3 D structures is presented. The frequency response function was employed as the input parameters to detect the severity and place of damage in 3 D spaces since it includes the most dynamic characteristics of the structures. Two-dimensional principal component analysis was utilized to reduce the size of the frequency response function data. The nearest neighbor search method was employed to detect the severity and location of damage in different damage scenarios. The accuracy of the approach was verified using measured data from an experimental test; moreover, two asymmetric 3 D numerical examples were considered as the numerical study. The superiority of the method was demonstrated through comparison with the results of damage identification by using artificial neural network. Different levels of white Gaussian noise were used for polluting the frequency response function data to investigate the robustness of the methods against noise-polluted data. The results indicate that both methods can efficiently detect the damage properties including its severity and location with high accuracy in the absence of noise, but the nearest neighbor search method is more robust against noisy data than the artificial neural network.  相似文献

Powell's method for minimizing a function of several variables without calculating derivatives is applied to recorded earthquake motion on the ground surface to identify ground characteristics that have irregular profiles. The identifications are made by designating the shear wave velocity depth and width of the irregularity of surface ground as unknown parameters and are based on the least square fit between the amplitude of the transfer function determined from accelerograms recorded at two observation sites and the corresponding transfer function calculated from the response analysis of a ground model. The discrete wave number method is used to analyze the response of ground with a non-uniform profile for the incidence of SH waves. The effect of the initial assumed values on the convergence is studied by evaluating the square error between the theoretical transfer function and that calculated from the parameters identified. The dispersive trend found for the accelerograms is explained by the calculated response of a ground model with a non-uniform profile.  相似文献

Surrounding soil can drastically influence the dynamic response of buildings during strong ground shaking. Soil’s flexibility decreases the natural frequencies of the system; and in most cases, soil provides additional damping due to material hysteresis and radiation. The additional damping forces, which are in non-classical form, render the mode shapes of the soil–structure system complex-valued. The response of a soil-foundation system can be compactly represented through impedance functions that have real and imaginary parts representing the stiffness and damping of the system, respectively. These impedance functions are frequency-dependent, and their determination for different configurations been the subject of a considerable number of analytical, numerical, and experimental studies. In this paper, we first develop a new identification technique that is capable of extracting complex mode shapes from the recorded free or ambient vibrations of a system. This technique is an extension of the second-order blind identification (SOBI) method, which is fairly well established in a number of other areas including sound separation, image processing, and mechanical system identification. The relative ease of implementation of this output-only identification technique has been the primary source of its appeal. We assess the accuracy and the utility of this extended SOBI technique by applying it to both synthetic and experimental data. We also present a secondary procedure, through which the frequency-dependent soil-foundation impedance functions can be easily extracted. The said procedure has a practical appeal as it uses only free or ambient responses of the structure to extract the foundation impedance functions, whereas current techniques require expensive and time-consuming forced-vibration tests.  相似文献

A previously developed simplified model of ground motion amplification is applied to the simulation of acceleration time histories at several soft‐soil sites in the Valley of Mexico, on the basis of the corresponding records on firm ground. The main objective is to assess the ability of the model to reproduce characteristics such as effective duration, frequency content and instantaneous intensity. The model is based on the identification of a number of parameters that characterize the complex firm‐ground to soft‐soil transfer function, and on the adjustment of these parameters in order to account for non‐linear soil behavior. Once the adjusted model parameters are introduced, the statistical properties of the simulated and the recorded ground motions agree reasonably well. For the sites and for the seismic events considered in this study, it is concluded that non‐linear soil behavior may have a significant effect on the amplification of ground motion. The non‐linear soil behavior significantly affects the effective ground motion duration for the components with the higher intensities, but it does not have any noticeable influence on the lengthening of the dominant ground period.

In this paper, a numerical sensitivity analysis of the site effect on dynamic response of pipelines embedded in some idealised soil deposits resting on a halfspace covering a wide range of soil profiles encountered in practice and subjected to vertically propagating shear waves, is presented. The power spectrum of the lateral differential displacement between two distant points due to the site effect is formulated analytically by using an analytical amplification function of a viscoelastic inhomogenous soil profile overlying either a compliant halfspace or a bedrock, represented by a more realistic continuous model. Also, Kanai-Tajimi spectrum parameters are estimated and expressed analytically from the soil profile model. Finally, results in the form of stochastic response spectrum of pipelines, for different key soil and pipeline parameters, are given and discussed.  相似文献

Two hilly sites were selected to study seismic site response due to topography effects. The sites were selected in a manner to be as much as possible homogenous and free of the soft soil layers effects. The hills were instrumented by nine velocimetric stations to record microtremors and the obtained data were analyzed using horizontal to vertical spectral ratios. Some standard spectral ratio tests were performed on noise as well. Then the instrumented hills were modeled (both 2D and 3D) assuming a linear elastic constitutive behavior subjected to vertically propagating SV and P Ricker wavelets. All calculations were performed in time domain using direct boundary element method. Different transfer function components, amplification patterns and spectral ratios were calculated in frequency domain. The frequency of vibration, obtained by experimental studies, is between 4 and 5 Hz for both of the hills. The spectral ratios derived by numerical simulations were compared with the observed spectral ratios. They show relatively good similarities between the results of these two methods. The frequencies of vibration derived from different methods seem to be nearly identical. The agreement in term of resonance frequency between microtremors and numerical modeling suggests that noise measurements could represent a simple, even if preliminary, tool in order to identify possible topographic amplification.  相似文献

We present a unified formulation of an analytical method for evaluating the response of a random soil medium to surface or earthquake excitations. Specifically, we are interested in this study to the case of a horizontally stratified layered soil profile. Soil properties, mass density and shear modulus of each layer are modeled as spatial random fields. The soil profile is laying on a homogeneous half-space. Integro-differential equations are formulated and solved using the Laplace transform method. Numerical results are, firstly, obtained in terms of effects of soil properties on distributions of mean dimensionless displacement and stress with depth. Then, the amplification function of the surface layer of a soil profile is formulated and a parametric study is conducted to examine the effects of stochastic variations of mass density and shear modulus on the amplification function. We, lastly, computed the seismic response of a site located in the basin of Metidja in Algeria to base rock accelerations which were recorded at Keddara's station during the May 21, 2003 Boumerdes earthquake, in terms of free surface Fourier spectrum amplitudes and accelerations. Comparison between computed accelerations and recorded ones at Dar Elbeida site has proved the effectiveness of the approach.  相似文献

Dynamic characteristics of structures — viz. natural frequencies, damping ratios, and mode shapes — are central to earthquake‐resistant design. These values identified from field measurements are useful for model validation and health‐monitoring. Most system identification methods require input excitations motions to be measured and the structural response; however, the true input motions are seldom recordable. For example, when soil–structure interaction effects are non‐negligible, neither the free‐field motions nor the recorded responses of the foundations may be assumed as ‘input’. Even in the absence of soil–structure interaction, in many instances, the foundation responses are not recorded (or are recorded with a low signal‐to‐noise ratio). Unfortunately, existing output‐only methods are limited to free vibration data, or weak stationary ambient excitations. However, it is well‐known that the dynamic characteristics of most civil structures are amplitude‐dependent; thus, parameters identified from low‐amplitude responses do not match well with those from strong excitations, which arguably are more pertinent to seismic design. In this study, we present a new identification method through which a structure's dynamic characteristics can be extracted using only seismic response (output) signals. In this method, first, the response signals’ spatial time‐frequency distributions are used for blindly identifying the classical mode shapes and the modal coordinate signals. Second, cross‐relations among the modal coordinates are employed to determine the system's natural frequencies and damping ratios on the premise of linear behavior for the system. We use simulated (but realistic) data to verify the method, and also apply it to a real‐life data set to demonstrate its utility. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

The goal of this study is to provide a stochastic method to investigate the effects of the randomness of soil properties due to their natural spatial variability on the response spectra spatial variation at sites with varying conditions. For this purpose, Monte Carlo Simulations are used to include the variability of both incident ground motion and soil parameters in the response spectra by mean of an appropriate coherency loss function and a site-dependent transfer function, respectively. The approach is built on the assumption of vertical propagation of SH type waves in soil strata with uncertain parameters. The response spectra are obtained by numerical integration of the governing equation of a single-degree-of-freedom(SDOF) system under non-stationary site-dependent and spatially varying ground motion accelerations simulated with non-uniform spectral densities and coherency loss functions. Numerical examples showed that randomness of soil properties significantly affects the amplitudes of the response spectra, indicating that as the heterogeneity induced by the randomness of the parameters of the medium increases, the spectral ordinates attenuate.  相似文献

基于两阶段稳定图的随机子空间识别结构模态参数   总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3  
基于振动的结构健康监测的前提是从振动测试信号中提取结构模态参数。随机子空间方法是近年来发展起来的一种线性系统辨识方法,可以有效地从环境激励的结构响应信号中提取结构模态参数。在随机子空间识别方法中,确定系统的阶数是该方法的关键工作,稳定图方法是一种比较新颖的确定系统阶次的方法。但是随机子空间方法容易产生虚假模态,这也是随机子空间方法的一个主要缺陷。因此针对于这一缺陷提出了一种基于两阶段稳定图的随机子空间识别结构模态参数方法,该方法的基本思想是将在现场采集的结构的输出信号进行分段,将各段信号用随机子空间结合稳定图进行识别,然后将所有各段所识别的模态参数再一次用稳定图方法进行分析,得出结构的模态参数。最后用一三跨连续梁的数值模型对该方法进行验证,结果表明该方法具有良好的识别效果。  相似文献

This paper deals with the validation of a numerical model for traffic induced vibrations. Road unevenness subjects the vehicle to vertical oscillations that cause dynamic axle loads, which generate waves propagating in the subsoil. A 2D vehicle model is used for the calculation of the axle loads from the longitudinal road profile. The free field soil response is calculated with the dynamic Betti–Rayleigh reciprocity theorem, using a transfer function between the road and the receiver that accounts for dynamic road–soil interaction. The validation relies on the measured response of the vehicle's axles and the soil during the passage of a truck on an artificial unevenness with speeds varying from 30 to 70 km/h. The agreement between the numerical and the experimental results is good: the influence of the vehicle speed and the distance from the road is well predicted, while the ratio of the predicted and the measured PPV is less than two.  相似文献

A novel blind deconvolution methodology for identification of the local site characteristics based on two seismograms recorded on the free surface of a sediment site is presented. The approach does not require recordings at depth nor at a nearby rock outcrop, and eliminates the need for any prior parameterization of source and site characteristics. It considers that the surface recordings are the result of the convolution of the ‘input motion at depth' with transfer functions (channels) representing the characteristics of the transmission path of the waves from the input location to each recording station. The input motion at depth is considered to be the common component in the seismograms (same input in a statistical sense). The channel characteristics are considered to be the part in the seismograms that is non-common, since the travel path of the waves from the input motion location at depth to each recording station is different, due to spatially variable site effects. By means of blind deconvolution, the algorithm eliminates what is common in the seismograms, namely the input motion at depth, and retains what is different, namely the transfer functions of the site from the input location to each recording station. It estimates the site response in both frequency and time domains, and identifies the duration of the site's transfer functions. The methodology is applied herein to synthetic data at realistic sites for performance validation. The blindly estimated results are in almost perfect agreement with the actual site characteristics, indicating that the approach is a promising new tool for seismic site-response identification from recorded data.  相似文献

In the last 30 years,the scientific community has developed and proposed different models and numerical approaches for the study of vibrations induced by railway traffic.Most of them are formulated in the frequency/wave number domain and with a 2.5D approach.Three-dimensional numerical models formulated in the time/space domain are less frequently used,mainly due to their high computational cost.Notwithstanding,these models present very attractive characteristics,such as the possibility of considering nonlinear behaviors or the modelling of excess pore pressure and non-homogeneous and non-periodic geometries in the longitudinal direction of the track.In this study,two 3D numerical approaches formulated in the time/space domain are compared and experimentally validated.The first one consists of a finite element approach and the second one of a finite difference approach.The experimental validation in an actual case situated in Carregado(Portugal)shows an acceptable fitting between the numerical results and the actual measurements for both models.However,there are some differences among them.This study therefore includes some recommendations for their use in practical soil dynamics and geotechnical engineering.  相似文献

The seismic behavior of massive geotechnical systems exhibits complex response patterns and mechanisms under severe loading conditions. Some of these mechanisms are localized in space, but nevertheless impact significantly the entire system response and ultimately its stability. A thorough monitoring and identification of the whole response of a distributed soil system commonly constitutes a significant challenge, and would generally be prohibitively expensive. This study presents a point-wise identification technique of soil-systems using the acceleration records provided by local instrument arrays. The newly developed identification algorithm consists of: (1) evaluation of strain tensor time histories using the motions recorded by a cluster of instruments (arranged in an appropriate multi-dimensional configuration), (2) estimation of the stress tensors corresponding to the evaluated strains utilizing a pre-selected class of constitutive models of soil response, (3) computation of accelerations associated with estimated stresses using the equations of motion, and (4) calibration and evaluation of an optimal model of soil response by minimizing discrepancies between recorded and computed accelerations. Computer simulations and analysis of centrifuge tests of a soil–quay wall system showed that the proposed technique provides an effective tool to identify local soil characteristics and properties.  相似文献

The prediction of soil moisture content, θ, as a function of depth, z, and time, t, is of fundamental importance for applications in many hydrological processes. The main objective of this paper is to provide an approach to solve this problem at a local scale in soils with vegetation. The matching of soil moisture vertical profiles observed under natural conditions in grassy plots and their simulations by a conceptual model is presented. Experimental measurements were performed in a plot located in Central Italy, complete with hydrometeorological sensors specifically set up and equipped with a time domain reflectometry system providing the water content, θe(z, t). A conceptual model framework earlier proposed for two‐layered soil vertical profiles was modified and adopted for simulations. The changes concern the incorporation of evapotranspiration, the reduction of the original model for applications also to homogeneous soil vertical profiles, and a correction for the differences existing between assumed and observed initial moisture contents. In the model calibration, it was found that the effects of vegetation could be represented adequately by a fictitious soil vertical profile with a more permeable upper layer of saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ks, independent of time. Then, for the validation events, the model simulations in the stages of both infiltration and redistribution/evapotranspiration reproduced appropriately θe(z, t) with typical values of root mean square error in the range 0.0017–0.0657. Similar results were obtained by applying the modified two‐layered model for simulations of experimental data observed in three other plots located in Northern Italy and Germany. For all four vegetated sites, the two‐layer profile better matched the experimental data than the assumption of a homogeneous profile. Thus, the conceptual approach based on a two‐layered scheme for representing θ(z, t) in soils with vegetation appears to be appropriate for many hydrological applications.
