This study examines the small-strain dynamic properties of mixtures composed of sandy and gravelly soils with granulated tire
rubber in terms of shear modulus (GO), and damping ratio in shear (Dmin). Torsional resonant column tests are performed on dry, dense specimens of soil-rubber mixtures in a range of soil to rubber
particles size 5:1–1:10 and rubber content from 0 to 35% by mixture weight. The experimental results indicate that the response
of the mixtures is significantly affected by the content of rubber and the relative size of rubber to soil particles. Concering
the small-strain shear modulus, an equivalent void ratio is introduced that considers the volume of rubber particles as part
of the total volume of voids. Based on a comprehensive set of test results a series of equations were developed that can be
used to evaluate the shear modulus and damping ratio at small shear strain levels if the confining pressure, the content of
rubber by mixture weight, the grain size of soil and rubber particles, and the dynamic and physical properties of the intact
soil are known. 相似文献

Thessaloniki's Detailed Microzoning: Subsurface Structure as Basis for Site Response Analysis 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
—?The city of Thessaloniki is located in northern Greece, close to a large seismogenic area and it has experienced several destructive earthquakes during the present century. In this paper, we focus on the definition of the subsurface structure of the city from a site response analysis perspective. The paper presents, together with a summary of geology and seismicity, the results of a large-scale geophysical and geotechnical survey, in order to determine and validate geometry and dynamic properties of the main soil formations. The synthesis and combination of recent results regarding the dynamic properties with those obtained from the elaboration of a large database of classical geotechnical tests led to the design of a detail geotechnical map and of various 1-D profiles, 2-D cross sections and 3-D thematic maps for the main soil formations. These soil profiles and maps are oriented to site effect studies and provide a comprehensive picture easily adapted to geographic information systems (GIS) for planning and design purposes. Moreover, the results of this study were correlated with macroseismic observations reported in many earlier published microzonation studies of Thessaloniki. These comparative observations revealed the complexity of surface geology of the urban area, a fact which is expected to provoke additional amplification with respect to 1-D resonance. 相似文献

The paper presents results from a laboratory investigation into the dynamic properties of natural intact and model organic
soils by means of resonant-column tests. The natural intact organic soils were sands, cohesive soils and peats with varying
content of calcium carbonate. The model organic soils were formed in laboratory by mixing kaolinite and paper pulp. The influence
of various soil parameters, such as strain level, confining stress, void ratio, plasticity index, organic content and secondary
consolidation time on shear modulus, G, and damping ratio, DT, is presented and discussed. The test results on natural organic
soils show that only high organic contents (OC ≥ 25%) have significant influence on G and DT at both small and high shear
strains. For the model organic soils, however, a significant influence of even lower values of organic content (5% ≤ OC ≤ 20%)
on G at small strains and DT at both small and high strains is observed. 相似文献

Fragility curves (FCs) constitute an emerging tool for the seismic risk assessment of all elements at risk. They express the probability of a structure being damaged beyond a specific damage state for a given seismic input motion parameter, incorporating the most important sources of uncertainties, that is, seismic demand, capacity and definition of damage states. Nevertheless, the implementation of FCs in loss/risk assessments introduces other important sources of uncertainty, related to the usually limited knowledge about the elements at risk (e.g., inventory, typology). In this paper, within a Bayesian framework, it is developed a general methodology to combine into a single model (Bayesian combined model, BCM) the information provided by multiple FC models, weighting them according to their credibility/applicability, and independent past data. This combination enables to efficiently capture inter-model variability (IMV) and to propagate it into risk/loss assessments, allowing the treatment of a large spectrum of vulnerability-related uncertainties, usually neglected. As case study, FCs for shallow tunnels in alluvial deposits, when subjected to transversal seismic loading, are developed with two conventional procedures, based on a quasi-static numerical approach. Noteworthy, loss/risk assessments resulting from such conventional methods show significant unexpected differences. Conventional fragilities are then combined in a Bayesian framework, in which also probability values are treated as random variables, characterized by their probability density functions. The results show that BCM efficiently projects the whole variability of input models into risk/loss estimations. This demonstrates that BCM is a suitable framework to treat IMV in vulnerability assessments, in a straightforward and explicit manner. 相似文献

A series of dynamic centrifuge tests were conducted on square aluminum model tunnels embedded in dry sand. The tests were carried out at the Schofield Centre of the Cambridge University Engineering Department, aiming to investigate the dynamic response of these types of structures. An extensive instrumentation scheme was employed to record the soil-tunnel system response, which comprised of miniature accelerometers, total earth pressures cells and position sensors. To record the lining forces, the model tunnels were strain gauged. The calibration of the strain gauges, the data from which was crucial to furthering our understanding on the seismic performance of box-type tunnels, was performed combining physical testing and numerical modelling. This technical note summarizes this calibration procedure, highlighting the importance of advanced numerical simulation in the calibration of complex construction models. 相似文献

This study examines the use of granular soils mixed with tire derived aggregates(TDA) as an underlying soil layer for surface foundations. The benefit of this geotechnical seismic isolation(GSI) scheme is threefold: the seismic force and displacement are significantly reduced; the construction is similar to that of a regular compacted granular fill and the re-use of scrap tires has an assertive environmental impact. These features highlight the rubber/soil mixtures(RSM) as a promising seismic isolation technique for infrastructure and large-scale structures. The seismic isolation capabilities of a rubber-soil foundation layer are investigated, using well defined material properties, and the direct analysis method of the soil-structure system, in the form of a simple oscillator on a soil profile. The influence of the RSM layer on the fundamental variables of the seismic response, namely the base shear and the total drift displacement of the structure on deformable soil, is examined. The structure′s overall stability is studied by means of monotonic lateral load analysis and incremental dynamic analysis, varying the slenderness of the structure and the synthesis of the mixture. The effectiveness and capabilities of the RSM isolation scheme are presented and discussed. 相似文献

Reuse of the 1.5 billion waste tyres that are produced annually is a one of the major worldwide challenges, as waste tyres are toxic and cause pollution to the environment. In recognition of this problem, this paper introduces the reuse of tyres, in the form of derived aggregates in mixtures with granulated soil materials, as previous studies indicated the potential benefits of these materials in the seismic performance of structures. The objective of the present research study is to investigate whether use of rubberised backfills benefits the seismic response of Integral Abutment Bridges (IABs) by enhancing soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects. Numerical models including typical integral abutments on surface foundation with nonlinear conventional backfill material and its alternative form as soil-rubber mixtures are analysed and their response parameters are compared. The research is conducted on the basis of parametric analysis, which aims to evaluate the influence of different rubber-soil mixtures on the dynamic response of the abutment-backfill system under various seismic excitations, accounting for dynamic soil-abutment interaction. The results provide evidence that the use of rubberised backfill leads to reductions in the backfill settlements, the horizontal displacements of the bridge deck, the residual horizontal displacements of the top of the abutment and the pressures acting on the abutment, up to 55, 18, 43 and 47 % respectively, with respect to a conventional backfill comprising of clean sand. Small change in bending moments and shear forces on the abutment wall is also observed. Therefore, rubberised backfills offer promising solution to mitigate the earthquake risk, towards economic design with minimal damage objectives for the resilience of transportation networks. 相似文献
