At present, methods based on allowable displacements are frequently used in the seismic design of earth retaining structures. However, these procedures ignore both the foundation soil deformability and the seismic amplification of the soil placed behind the retaining wall. Thus, they are not able to predict neither a rotational failure mechanism nor seismic induced lateral displacements with an acceptable degree of accuracy for the most general case. In this paper, a series of 2D finite-element analyses were carried out to study the seismic behavior of gravity retaining walls on normally consolidated granular soils. Chilean strong-motion records were applied at the bedrock level. An advanced non-linear constitutive model was used to represent both the backfill and foundation soil behavior. This elastoplastic model takes into account both the stress dependency of soil stiffness and coupling between shear and volumetric strains. In unloading–reloading cycles, the non-linear shear-modulus reduction with shear strain amplitude is considered. Interface elements were used to model soil–structure interaction. Routine-design charts were derived from the numerical analyses to predict the lateral movements at the base and top of gravity retaining walls located at sites with similar seismic characteristics to the Chilean subduction zone. Thus, wall seismic rotation can also be obtained. The developed charts consider wall dimensions, granular soil properties, bedrock depth, and seismic input motion characteristics. As shown, the proposed charts match well with available experimental data. 相似文献

Free vibration of soils happens frequently during some large earthquakes, perhaps seeming like a paradox. This happens because the energy released from seismic sources in some cases is not stationary in time, allowing relaxation intervals in between without important seismic wave arrivals in which free soil vibration happens. Two techniques to estimate the natural period of the free vibration from accelerograms are presented: autocorrelograms and Fourier spectra. Both techniques sometimes allow measuring higher mode frequencies of the soil for the three first modes as well as modal damping. Free vibration modal periods satisfy the classic 1D equation S-wave theory. The presence of free vibrations corresponds to shear wave soil energy radiation episodes rather than to energy amplification of incoming stationary seismic shear waves suggested by the dynamic soil amplification. These results explain the discrepancies observed between the theoretical soil dynamic amplification and the accelerographic measurement. Observation of free vibration of soils is not always possible, it depends on the duration of the time windows without important seismic waves arrivals compared to the natural period and damping of the soil. 相似文献

Preloading is a temporary loading, usually an embankment, applied to improve subsurface soils by densification. This paper studies the effect of preloading on the amplification characteristics of soft sites with an elaborate parametric analysis. The soil type, the depth of the bedrock, the water table depth, the level of preloading, the applied earthquake, the shear wave velocity of the bedrock and the shear modulus and damping versus shear strain relations were varied in a systematic manner. The analysis was performed by the commonly used one-dimensional equivalent-linear dynamic method. The shear wave velocity versus depth and the effect of preloading on shear velocity are computed with well-established soil mechanics equations. The results illustrated that the seismic response at the top of the profile generally decreases as a result of preloading. A more detailed analysis of results shows that the effect of preloading on the seismic response depends on the soil type and the depth of the bedrock. Based on these results, a method is proposed by which a practicing engineer involved with improvement of soft ground can simulate the effect of preloading on the seismic motion. 相似文献

Neural network model for liquefaction potential in soil deposits using Turkey and Taiwan earthquake data 总被引：9，自引：0，他引：9

Simplified methods have been practiced by researchers to assess nonlinear liquefaction potential of soil. Derived from several field and laboratory tests, various simplified procedures such as stress-based, strain-based, Chinese criteria, etc. have been developed by utilizing case studies and undisturbed soil specimens. In order to address the collective knowledge built up in conventional liquefaction engineering, an alternative general regression neural network model is proposed in this paper.To meet this objective, a total of 620 sets of data including 12 soil and seismic parameters are introduced into the model. The data includes the results of field tests from the two major earthquakes that took place in Turkey and Taiwan in 1999 and some of the desired input parameters are obtained from correlations existing in the literature.The proposed GRNN model was developed in four phases, mainly: identification phase, collection phase, implementation phase, and verification phase. An iterative procedure was followed to maximize the accuracy of the proposed model. The case records were divided randomly into testing, training, and validation datasets.Generating a model that takes into account of 12 soil and seismic parameters is not feasible by using simplified techniques; however, the proposed GRNN model effectively explored the complex relationship between the introduced soil and seismic input parameters and validated the liquefaction decision obtained by simplified methods. The proposed GRNN model predicted well the occurrence/nonoccurrence of soil liquefaction in these sites. The model provides a viable tool to geotechnical engineers in assessing seismic condition in sites susceptible to liquefaction. 相似文献

In this paper a numerical approach is proposed for the construction of fragility curves for shallow metro tunnels in alluvial deposits, when subjected to transversal seismic loading. The response of the tunnel is calculated under quasi static conditions applying the induced seismic ground deformations which are calculated through 1D equivalent linear analysis for an increasing level of seismic intensity. The results of the present numerical analyses are compared with selected closed form solutions, highlighting the limitations of the latter, while indicative full dynamic analysis are performed in order to validate the results of the quasi-static method. The proposed approach allows the evaluation of new fragility curves considering the distinctive features of the tunnel geometries and strength characteristics, the input motion and the soil properties as well as the associated uncertainties. The comparison between the new fragility curves and the existing empirical ones highlights the important role of the local soil conditions, which is not adequately taken into account in the empirical curves. 相似文献

Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, is located at the confluence of White and Blue Niles. The city is heavily populated. Central Khartoum with its high-rise buildings is the center of governmental and business activities and is located on a strip adjacent to the Blue Nile. Geological and geotechnical data indicate that the subsoil conditions at Central Khartoum are characterized by alluvial deposits underlain by Nubian Sandstone at a depth of 25 m. The alluvial deposits, locally known as Gezira formations, consist of clays grading into silt and sand with depth. Macro seismic zonation of Sudan and its vicinities, developed by the authors, gave the ground acceleration at the bedrock surface. The effect of alluvial deposits in Central Khartoum on propagation of seismic motion parameters to the ground surface is investigated in this study. Correlations are proposed for pertinent cyclic soil properties such as shear modulus, damping, and shear wave velocity. The Equivalent-Linear Earthquake Response Analyses (EERA) Model was used to study the effect of local soil conditions on ground-motion parameters. In the absence of strong-motion records in Khartoum, available worldwide strong-motion records are used. Plots showing the time histories of ground motion parameters at the ground surface are obtained. The results indicate amplification of ground motion of up to 4.93. The predicted fundamental period of soils is about 0.5 s which is typical for these types of soils. The maximum spectral acceleration varied from 0.76 to 0.95 g. For design purposes, a response spectrum curve is proposed. 相似文献

The new accelerographic network of Santa Fe de Bogotá is composed of 29 three-component stations with sensors at the surface and three additional six-component borehole stations with three sensors at the surface and three at depth (115, 126 and 184 m). In total, 32 stations have been operative in the metropolitan area of Bogotá since 1999. During this period of time, a significant number of weak motion are recorded and used for a preliminary analysis of local site effects. Using the SH-wave response spectra we verify the behavior of the different seismic zones proposed by the previous microzonation study of the city. A comparison between normalized SH-wave response spectra and the normalized design spectra for each zone clearly depicts that parts of the design spectra should be revised, as well as the boundaries between different zones may require some changes. The spectral amplification levels reach up to a factor of 5. The predominant periods obtained by the amplification spectra in different stations in the city, show variability from 0.3 to 3.0 s. A comparison is also made between the predominant periods obtained using H/V spectral ratios of microtremors and those using weak motion. In general, microtremors tend to predict slightly lower values of dominant periods than those calculated by the weak motion spectra. However, there is a general correlation between the two data sets. Using the data recorded by one of the borehole station, an equivalent linear seismic response analysis was conducted. The modeled and recorded response spectra show similarities in period peaks, however, the modeled soil amplification is underestimated for periods less than 0.8 s. Since the available record is weak motion which represents mostly the linear response of the soils, further analysis is required. 相似文献

Centrifuge modeling of seismic response of layered soft clay 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Centrifuge modeling is a valuable tool used to study the response of geotechnical structures to infrequent or extreme events
such as earthquakes. A series of centrifuge model tests was conducted at 80g using an electro-hydraulic earthquake simulator mounted on the C-CORE geotechnical centrifuge to study the dynamic response
of soft soils and seismic soil–structure interaction (SSI). The acceleration records at different locations within the soil
bed and at its surface along with the settlement records at the surface were used to analyze the soft soil seismic response.
In addition, the records of acceleration at the surface of a foundation model partially embedded in the soil were used to
investigate the seismic SSI. Centrifuge data was used to evaluate the variation of shear modulus and damping ratio with shear
strain amplitude and confining pressure, and to assess their effects on site response. Site response analysis using the measured
shear wave velocity, estimated modulus reduction and damping ratio as input parameters produced good agreement with the measured
site response. A spectral analysis of the results showed that the stiffness of the soil deposits had a significant effect
on the characteristics of the input motions and the overall behavior of the structure. The peak surface acceleration measured
in the centrifuge was significantly amplified, especially for low amplitude base acceleration. The amplification of the earthquake
shaking as well as the frequency of the response spectra decreased with increasing earthquake intensity. The results clearly
demonstrate that the layering system has to be considered, and not just the average shear wave velocity, when evaluating the
local site effects. 相似文献

Numerical analysis of seismic wave amplification in Nice (France) and comparisons with experiments 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The analysis of site effects is very important since the amplification of seismic motion in some specific areas can be very strong. In this paper, the site considered is located in the centre of Nice on the French Riviera. Site effects are investigated considering a numerical approach (Boundary Element Method) and are compared with experimental results. The experimental results are obtained thanks to real earthquakes (weak motion) and microtremor measurements. The investigation of seismic site effects through numerical approaches is interesting because it shows the dependency of the amplification level on such parameters as wave velocity in surface soil layers, velocity contrast with deep layers, seismic wave type, incidence and damping.In this specific area of Nice, experimental measurements obtained for weak motion lead to strong site effects. A one-dimensional (1D) analytical analysis of amplification does not give a satisfactory estimation of the maximum reached levels. A boundary element model is then proposed considering different wave types (SH, P, SV) as the seismic loading. The alluvial basin is successively assumed as an isotropic linear elastic medium and an isotropic linear viscoelastic solid with Zener type behaviour (standard solid). The influence of frequency and incidence is analysed. The thickness of the surface layer, its mechanical properties, its general shape as well as the seismic wave type involved have a great influence on the maximum amplification and the frequency for which it occurs. For real earthquakes, the numerical results are in very good agreement with experimental measurements for each motion component. The boundary element method leads to amplification values very close to the actual ones and much larger than those obtained in the 1D case. Two-dimensional basin effects are then very strong and are well reproduced numerically. 相似文献

Some equivalent linearization techniques, applicable to problems dealing with non-linear seismic amplification of layered soils, are systematically treated and critically compared in this paper. The discussion concerns, in particular, the theoretical consistency, the operative modalities, the computational complexity and the numerical reliability of these methods. A comparison is made between the results furnished by some techniques among those examined and the results obtained through a step-by-step integration of the non-linear equations of motion, assuming as a test-problem the one-dimensional amplification of a horizontally stratified soil deposit characterized by the Ramberg-Osgood constitutive model. 相似文献

In recent years, because of a seismic gap of 136 years in the north of Chile, several studies have been carried out with the purpose of characterizing the dynamic properties of the soils of the most populated cities in this area. The purpose of this work is to estimate, by numerical modeling, the seismic amplification of a densely populated area of the city of Arica. Spatial distribution of main soil dynamic properties has been obtained from a detailed geophysical survey, including surface-wave based methods and gravimetry. To estimate the site effects, we solve the wave propagation equation in full heterogeneous media by the spectral element method. This method allows including the topography, the irregular contact between soils and bedrock and heterogeneities of main materials’ properties along the computational domain. The inelastic behavior of the soil has been considered, using stiffness degradation and damping curves. The computations were done using the high performance open-source numerical code SPEED. Results from the distribution of the peak ground acceleration are compared against standard 1D horizontally layered modeling using equivalent linear and nonlinear viscoelastic approximations of nonlinear soil behavior. Linear viscoelastic results indicate that the north area of the city of Arica is not especially prone to tridimensional site effects induced by soil’s natural variability and the apparent bedrock geometry. Nevertheless, non-conservative differences of about 20% between 1D v/s 3D analyses were found under inelastic material behavior. In general, the two 3D approaches followed to include soils’ nonlinearity provide similar site amplification estimates. 相似文献

This paper presents the development, implementation, and application of a probabilistic framework for the pseudo-static analysis of pile foundations in liquefied and lateral spreading soils. The framework allows for rigorous consideration and propagation of the large uncertainties regarding quantification of seismic loads and soil–pile interaction relationships, which exist in the pseudo-static method. Building upon previous relationships proposed by others, the key features of the presented framework are outlined. In particular, the uncertainty estimation of the induced lateral soil displacements; superstructure inertia loads; and stiffness and strength of the liquefied soils are discussed in detail. The results of applying the pseudo-static method to a case study bridge structure are compared to that obtained using a rigorous seismic effective stress analysis within a similar framework. It is illustrated that the consideration of uncertainties in the pseudo-static framework provides enhanced communication of the foundation's seismic performance to end-users, and that the pseudo-static method provides seismic performance prediction consistent with that obtained using advanced seismic effective-stress analyses. 相似文献

Inelastic displacement ratios (IDRs) of nonlinear soil–structure interaction (SSI) systems located at sites with cohesive soils are investigated in this study. To capture the effects of inelastic cyclic behavior of the supporting soil, the Beam on Nonlinear Winkler Foundation (BNWF) model is used. The superstructure is modeled using an inelastic single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system model. Nonlinear SSI systems representing various combinations of unconfined compressive strengths and shear wave velocities are considered in the analysis. A set of strong ground motions recorded at sites with soft to stiff soils is used for considering the record-to-record variability of IDRs. It is observed that IDRs for nonlinear SSI systems are sensitive to the strength and the stiffness properties of both the soil and the structure. For the case of SSI systems on the top of cohesive soils, the compressive strength of the soil has a significant impact on the IDRs, which cannot be captured by considering only the shear wave velocity of the soil. Based on the results of nonlinear time-history analysis, a new equation is proposed for estimating the mean and the dispersion of IDRs of SSI systems depending on the characteristic properties of the supporting soil, dimensions of the foundation, and properties of the superstructure. A probabilistic framework is presented for the performance-based seismic design of SSI systems located at sites with cohesive soils. 相似文献

以往对建筑抗震性影响因素的研究仅限于施工材料、技术手段等外部条件,忽略了基坑土体安全系数、基坑状态对建筑抗震性的影响,一定程度上削弱了建筑的抗震性能。本文从基坑排桩角度对建筑抗震性的影响展开分析,通过有限元强度折减法获取土体的安全系数与基坑状态的判断标准,在该标准下基于土体安全系数采用有限元强度折减法计算公式,获取各个土层计算参数。基于该参数使用ABAQUS有限元软件构建基坑排桩有限元分析模型(土体和桩体分别采用莫尔-库仑弹塑性模型和二维弹性模型)。实验采用所提分析方法,从基坑排桩排距、刚度两方面对建筑抗震性能进行分析。实验结果表明,当基坑排桩排距进行适当取值时,建筑抗震性越好;双排桩的刚度越大,建筑抗震性越好,且随着刚度的增加建筑抗震性能趋于平稳。 相似文献

The 1990 edition of the National Building Code of Canada (Associate Committee of the National Building Code, National Research Council, Ottawa, 1990) makes a clear distinction between eastern and western Canada in terms of seismic acceleration and velocity zones. While it is well established that ground motions can be amplified significantly through loose clay deposits, no results are available that take into consideration the typical high frequency content of ground motions in eastern Canada. This paper develops ground amplification curves for clays having depths between 10 and 70 m excited by typical eastern Canadian ground motions scaled to two different values of peak horizontal accelerations. Simplified free-field spectral design curves, which could be used by structural designers, are proposed. The curves show that maximum spectral accelerations occur for structural periods between 0.2 and 0.5 s. In addition, soil depth does not appear to be an important parameter controlling the response of typical clay deposits in eastern Canada. 相似文献
