In this paper, different formulations of a macro‐element model for non‐linear dynamic soil‐structure interaction analyses of structures lying on shallow foundations are first reviewed, and secondly, a novel formulation is introduced, which combines some of the characteristics of previous approaches with several additional features. This macro‐element allows one to model soil‐footing geometric (uplift) and material (soil plasticity) non‐linearities that are coupled through a stiffness degradation model. Footing uplift is introduced by a simple non‐linear elastic model based on the concept of effective foundation width, whereas soil plasticity is treated by means of a bounding surface approach in which a vertical load mapping rule is implemented. This mapping is particularly suited for the seismic loading case for which the proposed model has been conceived. The new macro‐element is subsequently validated using cyclic and dynamic large‐scale laboratory tests of shallow foundations on dense sand, namely: the TRISEE cyclic tests, the Public Works Research Institute and CAMUS IV shaking table tests. Based on this comprehensive validation process against a set of independent experimental results, a unique set of macro‐element parameters for shallow foundations on dense sand is proposed, which can be used to perform predictive analyses by means of the present model.

In urban areas where there has been continuous occupation of the land for centuries, there are likely to be large areas of filled ground. Fills may have arisen inadvertently from the rubble of demolished buildings and the slow accumulation of refuse. Old urban fills of this type may contain soil, rubble, refuse and even whole parts of past constructions. Despite the fact that areas covered with such deposits are generally prone to severe problems, especially under conditions of dynamic loading, still their influence, as a foundation material on the seismic behaviour of modern buildings is practically unpredictable.Thessaloniki is an old historical city of Macedonia, Greece with no less than 2300 years of continuous urban evolution. A thick and heterogeneous layer of artificial deposits covers the biggest part of the historical centre of the city, as is the case for many old historical cities. The presence of this extensive formation influences the urban development, as it constitutes the foundation of the majority of the buildings of the historical centre, and its investigation is essential for most of the major constructions proposed. The complexity and heterogeneity of Thessaloniki's fill makes the assessment of its engineering behaviour a rather complicated task. This is due to the big range of values of accumulated geotechnical data but also to the fact that these data have been produced by unrelated methods and applied tests.The aim of this paper is to assess the engineering performance of Thessaloniki's fill based on its behaviour as foundation material to a major seismic event. This is carried out by the evaluation of the influence of engineering geological parameters to the damage distribution of the 1978 earthquake, based on the official database which recorded the condition of all the buildings of the historical centre. The statistical elaboration of the damage distribution was carried out following a classification scheme for the fill, based on the fill's classes produced by this scheme, the fill's thickness and the combination of both.The results are given in terms of damage ratios i.e. the ratios of the number of buildings in each damage status per total number of buildings inspected. The correlation of the engineering response with the thickness of the fill showed that there is a significant increase of the percentage of damaged buildings with increasing thickness. However, further analysis of these results showed that the above increase does not apply to all classes equally, which actually suggests that different parts of the fill behave differently in respect to the fill thickness. These results clearly show that a classification scheme and the determination of the boundary conditions should be used as a combined tool from an engineering geological point of view, in order to form a basis for the better understanding of the engineering behaviour of such deposits, the interpretation of geotechnical data and the design of more sophisticated investigations. 相似文献

The scope of this paper is to present a macroelement model for shallow foundations encompassing the majority of combinations of soil and foundation–soil interface conditions that are interesting for practical applications. The basic idea of the formulation is to raise the common assumption that the surface of ultimate loads of the foundation is identified as a yield surface in the space of force parameters which the footing is subjected to. Instead, each non‐linear mechanism participating in the global response of the system is modelled independently and the surface of ultimate loads is retrieved as the combined result of all active mechanisms. This allows formulating each mechanism by respecting its particular characteristics and offers the possibility of activating, modifying or deactivating each mechanism according to the context of application. The model comprises three non‐linear mechanisms: (a) the mechanism of sliding at the soil–footing interface, (b) the mechanism of soil yielding in the vicinity of the footing and (c) the mechanism of uplift as the footing may get detached from the soil. The first two are irreversible and dissipative and are combined within a multi‐mechanism plasticity formulation. The third mechanism is reversible and non‐dissipative. It is reproduced with a phenomenological non‐linear hyperelastic model. The model is validated with respect to the existing results for shallow foundations under quasi‐static loading tests. It is shown that although the ultimate surface of the foundation is not explicitly used in the formulation of the model, the obtained force states by the model are always contained within it.

The densely populated city of Thessaloniki (Northern Greece) is situated in~the vicinity of active seismic faults, capable of producing moderate to strong earthquakes. The city has been severely affected by such events several times during the last 15 centuries. The most recent event occurred on 20 June 1978 (M6.5) in the Mygdonian graben, with an epicentral distance of about 30 km, causing extended damage in the city, with macroseismic intensities between MSK V+ and VIII+. The majority of buildings affected by the earthquake were of reinforced-concrete typology, typical to many southern European metropolitan areas. The source properties of the normal-faulting causative event and the source-to-city propagation path are well known from previous studies. The soil structure under the metropolitan area of Thessaloniki is assigned NEHRP categories B, C, D on the basis of geotechnical and geologic information and single-station ambient-noise measurements. A finite source model and various rupture scenarios of the June 1978 earthquake are used to perform forward stochastic modeling of strong ground motion in terms of peak ground and spectral acceleration. Rock motion is assessed under the city and it is transferred to the surface in accordance with the respective soil category. A GIS tool is employed to compare the estimated strong-motion parameters with the observed detailed damage pattern induced by the 1978 earthquake. For selected natural periods, a satisfactory correlation is established between macroseismic intensity and peak ground and spectral acceleration, thus encouraging the application of stochastic modeling for generating realistic ground-shaking scenarios in metropolitan areas. 相似文献

In this article, a new concept on the compressibility of mixed soils is proposed. Six characteristic structures of mixed soils
are recognized, defined and described based on the percentage of the ground material in the mixture. The compressibility mechanism
and the deformational behavior of each structure are extensively studied by both laboratory and numerical experiments. Two
series of compressibility tests are initially conducted in the laboratory, using artificial mixtures of sand and clay at different
ratios and subjected to typical compressibility tests using the oedometer apparatus. Then, a numerical approach is employed,
based on the finite element method and Monte-Carlo simulations, in order to reproduce the conditions of the laboratory tests
and to further study the compressibility of each characteristic structure. From the results obtained, it is concluded that
the deformational behavior of mixed soils depends strongly on the percentage of the ground in the mixture and on the mechanical
properties of the components of this mixture. Furthermore, it is shown that the estimated deformations and stress states can
be highly unrealistic when the mixed soil is not properly modelled and is assumed to be governed by the properties of its
weaker component. 相似文献
