Earthquake losses due to ground failure 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Juliet F. Bird 《Engineering Geology》2004,75(2):147-179
Ground shaking is widely considered to be the primary cause of damage to structures, loss of life and injuries due to earthquakes. Nonetheless, there are numerous examples of earthquakes where the losses due to earthquake-induced ground failure have been significant. Whereas ground shaking causes structural and non-structural damage, with associated loss of function and income, ground failure is less likely to cause spectacular structural collapses, but is frequently the cause of major disruptions, particularly to lifelines, which can lead to prolonged loss of function and income, even for undamaged areas.Those involved in earthquake loss modelling are currently presented with three choices with respect to the incorporation of ground failure: they can choose to ignore it, assuming that any estimation of losses caused by shaking would effectively subsume the impact of these secondary hazards; they can include ground failure in a simple manner, using published approaches based upon qualitative data and a large degree of judgement; or, they can opt for a detailed site- or region-specific assessment of damage due to ground failure, with the associated time and expense.This paper presents a summary of the principal features of earthquake losses incurred in damaging earthquakes over the last 15 years. Survey data are impartially analysed, considering both ground failure and ground shaking as sources of damage, and their relative contribution to overall damage in each section of the regional infrastructure is presented. There are many other variables influencing these contributions, including the size of the earthquake, the economic status of the affected region, local geology and terrain and the building stock, which have been considered.The findings of the study are discussed from the point of view of loss modelling and which components of a model should merit the most time and resource allocation. The general assumption that ground shaking is the principal cause of damage and loss is strongly supported by the study. However, there are a number of scenarios identified where the failure to appropriately include the effects of ground failure would lead to unrealistic loss projections. Such scenarios include the assessment of building losses in small zones rather than on a regional basis, and the incorporation of lifeline damage or disruption and indirect losses into a model. 相似文献

One of the most critical lessons of the recent earthquakes is the need for seismic planning for lifelines, with appropriate
supplies and back up systems for emergency repair and restoration. Seismic planning, however requires physical loss estimations
before the earthquakes occur. Buried pipeline damage correlations are critical part of loss estimation procedures applied
to lifelines for future earthquakes. We review the existing pipeline damage relationships only for ground shaking (transient
ground deformations) in the light of recent developments and evaluate them with Denizli City, Turkey water supply system.
Eight scenario earthquakes with four different earthquake magnitudes between M6 and M7 caused by two different fault ruptures (Pamukkale and Karakova-Akhan Faults) were used. Analyses were performed by using
Geographical Information Systems (GIS). This high number of different scenario earthquakes made it possible to compare the
pipeline damage relationships at different ground shaking levels. Pipeline damage estimations for Denizli City were calculated
for each damage relationship and earthquake scenario. Relative effects of damage relationships and scenario earthquakes on
the results were compared and discussed. The results were presented separately for brittle, ductile, and all pipelines. It
was shown that the variation in ductile pipeline damage estimations by various relationships was higher than the variation
in brittle pipeline damage estimations for a particular scenario earthquake. 相似文献

Underground opening damage from earthquakes 总被引：18，自引：0，他引：18
A summary of worldwide qualitative data regarding the behavior of underground openings during earthquakes is presented. This information has been collected for 192 reports of underground behavior from 85 earthquakes throughout the world. The data have been assembled into a data base to determine some of the significant factors that may affect underground stability. The parameters of interest are: (1) extent of damage; (2) overburden cover; (3) predominant rock type; (4) form of support (i.e. type of internal liner or opening support); (5) geographic location; and (6) magnitude and epicentral distance of the affecting earthquake. A significant contribution to this study is the development of a correlation between peak ground acceleration at the surface, overburden depth and damage. This relationship will allow for preliminary assessment of stability of new underground structures prior to extensive dynamic analyses. Also, the vulnerability of existing underground facilities may be assessed rapidly on the basis of the qualitative data presented herein. 相似文献

A numerical Round Robin on tunnels under seismic actions 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

Although the seismic behaviour of shallow circular tunnels in soft ground is generally safer than aboveground structures, some tunnels were recently damaged during earthquakes. In some cases, damage was associated with strong ground shaking and site amplification, which increased the stress level in the tunnel lining. Pseudo-static and simplified dynamic analyses enable to assess transient changes in internal forces during shaking. Nevertheless, experimental evidences of permanent changes in internal loads in the tunnel lining would suggest that a full dynamic analysis including plastic soil behaviour should be performed when modelling the dynamic interaction between the tunnel and the ground. While sophisticated numerical methods can be used to predict seismic internal forces on tunnel structures during earthquakes, the accuracy of their predictions should be validated against field measurements, but the latter are seldom available. A series of centrifuge tests were therefore carried out at the University of Cambridge (UK) on tunnel models in sand, in the framework of a research project funded by the Italian Civil Protection Department. A numerical Round Robin on Tunnel Tests was later promoted among some research groups to predict the observed behaviour by means of numerical modelling. In this paper, the main results of five selected numerical predictions are summarized and compared with the experimental results. 相似文献

Many breakwaters have collapsed in the past due to earthquakes and subsequent tsunamis, resulting in considerable devastation as the breakwaters failed to prevent the tsunami from entering the coastal plain areas. Breakwater failures are mainly caused by damage to its foundation ground. However, the damage mechanism of breakwater foundation during earthquakes and tsunamis remains unclear. This study focuses on the breakwater failure mechanism due to collapse of its foundation under the action of an earthquake and subsequent tsunami. In addition, reinforcing countermeasures for breakwater foundation to mitigate damage due to compound geodisasters triggered by earthquakes and tsunamis are proposed. Sheet piles and gabions were used in the breakwater foundation as reinforcing countermeasures. To evaluate the effectiveness of the reinforced foundation, a series of shaking table tests and hydraulic model tests were performed. The tsunami overflow tests were conducted on the same model after the earthquake loadings, and comparisons were made between the conventional and reinforced foundations. It was observed during the tests that the reinforced foundation could effectively reduce the damage to the breakwater caused by earthquake and tsunami-induced forces. Numerical analyses were performed to clarify the mechanism of the soil–breakwater–reinforcement–fluid system. Overall, this study is useful in practical engineering, and the reinforcing foundation model could be adopted for offshore structures to reduce damage from earthquakes and tsunamis in the future. 相似文献

强震中场地砂土液化产生的土层侧移对地面建筑结构和地下生命线工程造成了严重的破坏。可以预见,微倾斜液化场地的土层侧移也将对地铁地下结构的地震安全造成严重的威胁。鉴于此,开展了微倾斜（倾角为6o）可液化场地中两层三跨地铁地下车站结构与区间隧道连接部位地震反应的大型振动台模型试验研究。结果表明：微倾斜可液化场地中地铁车站结构两侧地基出现了明显的非对称液化分布特征,坡体下方水平土层比上方水平土层更易液化;因坡体内土体液化沿坡向下流滑引起了下方水平土层发生了明显的地面抬升,总体上坡体段内的地面侧移量最大,下方水平土层地面侧移量次之,坡体上方水平土层地面侧移量最小。同时,在试验过程中也发现,隧道和车站结构之间发生了明显的差异上浮,可能会造成连接部位附近结构的应力集中或加重该部位的地震破坏。 相似文献

活断层对城市建设的影响长期以来受到科研人员与城市建设者的重视。活断层避让距离的确定直接影响活动断裂地区建筑物的选址。伴随着中国地下空间开发进入快速发展阶段,活动断裂地区的地下建筑选址问题应运而生。以隐伏活动正断层为例,综合考虑地下建筑震害影响、隐伏活动正断层地区地质背景、断裂活动性以及发震破坏特征,对活断层地区地下建筑的避让问题开展研究。研究表明：地下建筑受活断层发震的影响比地面建筑小,但断裂发震的影响依然需要重视;隐伏正断层破坏范围受多方面的影响因素控制,地下建筑避让距离的划定需以断层变形带的边界为起点进行;结合渭河断裂咸阳段的地质背景与断裂活动特点,确定断层上、下盘的避让距离分别为30 m和15 m,得出渭河断裂咸阳段地下30 m以浅限建带的宽度为140 m。 相似文献

Among the activities developed under the framework of the Global Earthquake Model, the development of a global consequences database was included. This was defined with the objective of serving as public repository of damages and losses, occurred on different types of elements because of a selected list of earthquakes with epicentres at varying locations around the globe, but also to be used as a benchmark for the development of vulnerability models that capture specific characteristics of the building typologies in each country. The online earthquakes consequences’ database has information on 71 events where 16 of them occurred in the Latin America and the Caribbean Region. A complete and comprehensive review and data gathering process were developed for these selected earthquakes accounting for different aspects and dimensions that were considered of interest, besides the physical damage, such as casualties, socio-economic implications, damages and disruptions in critical facilities and infrastructures, together with the occurrence of secondary events triggered by the ground shaking such as landslides and tsunamis. When possible, the damage and casualties were geo-located using a standardized approach and included in the database. The contributions of the Latin America and Caribbean Region to the database were at the same time a challenge and an opportunity to collect, review, put together and standardize, up to a certain point, damage data of previous earthquakes additionally of being a step forward in the field of open data. 相似文献

Ten moderate to large (magnitude 6–7) earthquakes have occurred in southwestern British Columbia and northwestern Washington in the last 130 years. A future large earthquake close to Vancouver, Victoria, or Seattle would cause tens of billions of dollars damage and would seriously impact the economies of Canada and the United States. An improved understanding of seismic hazards and risk in the region has been gained in recent years by using geologic data to extend the short period of instrumented seismicity. Geologic studies have demonstrated that historically unprecedented, magnitude 8 to 9 earthquakes have struck the coastal Pacific Northwest on average once every 500 years over the last several thousand years; another earthquake of this size can be expected in the future. Geologic data also provide insights into the likely damaging effects of future large earthquakes in the region. Much of the earthquake damage will result directly from ground shaking, but damage can also be expected from secondary phenomena, including liquefaction, landslides, and tsunamis. Vancouver is at great risk from earthquakes because important infrastructure, including energy and transportation lifelines, probably would be damaged or destroyed by landslides and liquefaction-induced ground failure. 相似文献

Dynamic analysis of ground with rigorous use of strain dependency and its application to seismic microzonation of alluvial plane 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Seismic microzonation is one of the most important measures to mitigate earthquake hazards in urban areas. Because the ground motion varies significantly with the subsurface geology, it is needed for microzonation to account as much as possible for the local soil conditions. Noteworthy is that nonlinear deformation properties of soil play essential roles in amplification of strong ground motion. It is desired furthermore to focus on the expected damage extent in addition to the calculated maximum acceleration and/or velocity. The present study first developed a computer code for one-dimensional response analysis of ground that reasonably takes into account nonlinear dynamic soil properties. Second, correlations between the calculated ground motion and damage extent were obtained by examining seismic damages during the past earthquakes. By combining these two issues, seismic microzonation was carried out, and detailed damage distribution was assessed. The product of this study covers not only the damage caused by ground shaking but also liquefaction problem and lifeline damage. 相似文献

The uplift of large underground structures in saturated liquefiable soils under strong earthquake loadings may induce severe damages to the structures. Various mitigation procedures have been proposed to alleviate such damage, among which installation of cutoff walls next to underground structures was found to be effective. However, the working mechanism of cutoff walls in alleviating uplift of underground structures and the corresponding design parameters are still not clear. The liquefaction induced uplift behaviour of a subway tunnel in saturated sandy deposit over a layer of non-liquefiable soils and the working mechanism of cutoff walls for uplift mitigation purpose were investigated using the fully coupled dynamic finite element code DIANA Swandyne-II. A generalized plasticity model capable of simulating both cyclic liquefaction and pressure dependency of soils was used to model the sandy deposit. It is found that the small effective unit weight of underground structures, the development of excess pore pressure and the flow of liquefied soils were the sufficient and necessary conditions for underground structures to uplift during earthquakes. Cutoff walls could restrain the flow or deformation of liquefied soils and inhibit the uplift of underground structures but they could not necessarily prevent the liquefaction of the enclosed soils. After earthquake loadings, underground structures might settle due to the consolidation of soils and cutoff walls could also reduce the magnitude of settlement. The design parameters of cutoff walls, including the acting lateral pressure, the position, the stiffness and the permeability of cutoff walls, were also analyzed, the findings of which, together with the unveiled working mechanism, would be relevant for the design of cutoff walls for uplift mitigation purpose. 相似文献

We compiled available news and internet accounts of damage and other effects from the 26th January, 2001, Bhuj earthquake,
and interpreted them to obtain modified Mercalli intensities at over 200 locations throughout the Indian subcontinent. These
values are used to map the intensity distribution using a simple mathematical interpolation method. The maps reveal several
interesting features. Within the Kachchh region, the most heavily damaged villages are concentrated towards the western edge
of the inferred fault, consistent with western directivity. Significant sedimentinduced amplification is also suggested at
a number of locations around the Gulf of Kachchh to the south of the epicenter. Away from the Kachchh region intensities were
clearly amplified significantly in areas that are along rivers, within deltas, or on coastal alluvium such as mud flats and
salt pans. In addition we use fault rupture parameters inferred from teleseismic data to predict shaking intensity at distances
of 0–1000 km. We then convert the predicted hard rock ground motion parameters to MMI using a relationship (derived from internet-based
intensity surveys) that assigns MMI based on the average effects in a region. The predicted MMIs are typically lower by 1–2
units than those estimated from news accounts. This discrepancy is generally consistent with the expected effect of sediment
response, but it could also reflect other factors such as a tendency for media accounts to focus on the most dramatic damage,
rather than the average effects. Our modeling results also suggest, however, that the Bhuj earthquake generated more high-frequency
shaking than is expected for earthquakes of similar magnitude in California, and may therefore have been especially damaging. 相似文献

Seismic hazard maps are constructed by extrapolating from the frequency of small earthquakes, the annual probability of large, infrequent, earthquakes. Combining the potential contribution from all seismically active volumes, one calculates the peak ground acceleration with a probability to be exceeded by 10?% in 50?years at any given point. The consequential risk, the losses to be expected, derives from the damage the calculated shaking causes to buildings, and the impact on occupants due to collapsing structures. We show that the numbers of fatalities in recent disastrous earthquakes were underestimated by the world seismic hazard maps by approximately two to three orders of magnitude. Thus, seismic hazard maps based on the standard method cannot be used to estimate the risk to which the population is exposed due to large earthquakes. 相似文献

Investigations were carried out at three underground coal mines in India to study the response of surface structures to underground
blasting and the likelihood of damage to the structures. The structures in the vicinity of the underground blasting area were
single and multistoried residential houses. The amplitudes of vibration due to underground blasting were monitored simultaneously
on the ground surface near the foundation of the structures and on various floors of the structures. The vibrations were also
monitored near the important surface installations. It was observed that the magnitude of vibration in structures decreased
with the increase in the height of the structures. The frequency of blast vibration from underground blasting was higher than
the natural frequency of the structures. Little energy was transmitted into the structures, which caused reduction in the
vibration level in the structures. The reduction in the vibration levels was up to 45% in the houses. It indicates that the
dominant frequency of blast vibration plays an important role in persistence of vibration and its amplification or reduction
characteristics in the structures. This paper deals with the effect of the vibrations on structures/houses standing above
the blasting faces in underground workings and their potential to likely damage to the structures at different Indian geo-mining
conditions. 相似文献

Residential RC framed structures suffered heavily during the 2001 Bhuj earthquake in Gujarat, India. These types of structures
also saw severe damage in other earthquakes such as the 1999 Kocaeli earthquake in Turkey and 921 Ji-Ji earthquake in Taiwan.
In this paper the seismic response of residential structures was investigated using physical modelling. Idealised soft storey
and top heavy, two degrees of freedom (2DOF) portal frame structures were developed and tested on saturated and dry sand models
at 25 g using the Schofield Centre 10-m Beam Centrifuge. It was possible to recreate observed field behaviour using these
models. As observed in many of the recent earthquakes, soft storey structures were found to be particularly vulnerable to
seismic loads. Elastic response spectra methods are often used in the design of simple portal frame structures. The seismic
risk of these structures can be significantly increased due to modifications such as removal of a column or addition of heavy
water tanks on the roof. The experimental data from the dynamic centrifuge tests on such soft storey or top-heavy models was
used to evaluate the predictions obtained from the response spectra. Response spectra were able to predict seismic response
during small to moderate intensity earthquakes, but became inaccurate during strong earthquakes and when soil structure interaction
effects became important. Re-evaluation of seismic risk of such modified structures is required and time domain analyses suggested
by building codes such as IBC, UBC or NEHRP may be more appropriate. 相似文献

A shakemap system providing rapid estimates of strong ground shaking could be useful for emergency response providers in a
damaging earthquake. A hybrid procedure, which combines site-dependent ground motion prediction models and the limited observations
of the Real-Time Digital stream output system (RTD system operated by Central Weather Bureau, CWB), was set up to provide
a high-resolution shakemap in a near-real-time manner after damaging earthquakes in Taiwan. One of the main factors that affect
the result of ground motion prediction analysis is the existence of site effects. The purpose of this paper is to investigate
the local site effects and their influence in the ground shaking and then establish an early estimation procedure of potential
hazard for damaging earthquakes. Based on the attenuation law, the site effects of each TSMIP station are discussed in terms
of a bias function that is site and intensity-level dependent function. The standard deviation of the site-dependent ground
motion prediction model can be significantly reduced. The nonlinear behavior of ground soil is automatically taken into account
in the intensity-level dependent bias function. Both the PGA and the spectral acceleration are studied in this study. Based
on the RTD data, event correctors are calculated and applied to precisely estimate the shakemap of damaging earthquakes for
emergency response. 相似文献

The seismic hazard in the Gujarat region has been evaluated. The scenario hazard maps showing the spatial distribution of various parameters like peak ground acceleration, characteristics site frequency and spectral acceleration for different periods have been presented. These parameters have been extracted from the simulated earthquake strong ground motions. The expected damage to buildings from future large earthquakes in Gujarat region has been estimated. It has been observed that the seismic hazard of Kachchh region is more in comparison with Saurashtra and mainland. All the cities of Kachchh can expect peak acceleration in excess of 500?cm/s2 at surface in case of future large earthquakes from major faults in Kachchh region. The cities of Saurashtra can expect accelerations of less than 200?cm/s2 at surface. The mainland Gujarat is having the lowest seismic hazard as compared with other two regions of Gujarat. The expected accelerations are less than 50?cm/s2 at most of the places. The single- and double-story buildings in Kachchh region are at highest risk as they can expect large accelerations corresponding to natural periods of such small structures. Such structures are relatively safe in mainland region. The buildings of 3?C4 stories and tall structures that exist mostly in cities of Saurashtra and mainland can expect accelerations in excess of 100?cm/s2 during a large earthquake in Kachchh region. It has been found that a total of 0.11 million buildings in Rajkot taluka of Saurashtra are vulnerable to total damage. In Kachchh region, 0.37 million buildings are vulnerable. Most vulnerable talukas are Bhuj, Anjar, Rapar, Bhachau, and Mandvi in Kachchh district and Rajkot, Junagadh, Jamnagar, Surendernagar and Porbandar in Saurashtra. In mainland region, buildings in Bharuch taluka are more vulnerable due to proximity to active Narmada-Son geo-fracture. The scenario hazard maps presented in this study for moderate as well as large earthquakes in the region may be used to augment the information available in the probabilistic seismic hazard maps of the region. 相似文献
