Gravity walls retaining dry soil are modeled as a system of two bodies: (a) the gravity wall that slides along the wall-foundation soil boundary and (b) the critical soil wedge in the soil behind the wall. The strength of the system is defined by both the frictional and the cohesional components of resistance. The angle of the prism of the critical soil wedge behind the wall is obtained using the limit equilibrium method. The model accounts for changes in the geometry of the backfill soil behind the wall by considering the displacements at the end of each time step under limit equilibrium. The model shows that the standard (single) block model is over-conservative for the extreme case of critical-to-applied-seismic acceleration ratios less than about 0.30, but works well for cases where this ratio ranges between 0.5 and 0.8. The model is applied to predict the seismic displacement of gravity walls (a) tested in the shaking-table and (b) studied numerically by elaborate elasto–plastic analyses. 相似文献

The present work deals with the evaluation of the effect of the randomness of both soil parameters and input motion on the seismic response of a sandy soil profile. Special attention is given to estimate the relative contribution of model input parameters on (i) the probability of liquefaction apparition and (ii) the surface seismic response. The Monte Carlo simulations were used for that purpose. This analysis shows that, for the considered case, the choice of the earthquake input signal remains the most subtle parameter in order to define the liquefaction probability. Otherwise, spatial variability of both soil properties and soil model's parameters have a weak impact on the response of the soil profile. 相似文献

Numerical simulation of liquefaction effects on seismic SSI 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The present paper deals with the influence of soil non-linearity, introduced by soil liquefaction, on the soil–foundation–structure interaction phenomena. The objective is to reveal the beneficial or unfavourable effects of the non-linear SSI on both structural drift and settlement of a given structure. Factors such as the signal modification due to liquefaction, and ratios of fundamental frequencies of soil, structure and signal may play an important role on the damage of the structure. The importance of each of these factors is evaluated through a significant parametric study. A 2D coupled finite element modelling is carried out using an elastoplastic multi-mechanism model to represent the soil behaviour. This paper presents the research work we did in the framework of the European Community project NEMISREF (New methods of mitigation of seismic risk on existing foundations, GRDI-40457), to study possible retrofitting measures using GEFDYN computational tools. 相似文献

This paper provides an insight into the numerical simulation of soil–structure interaction (SSI) phenomena studied in a shaking table facility. The shaking table test is purposely designed to confirm the ability of the numerical substructure technique to simulate the SSI phenomenon. A model foundation–structure system with strong SSI potential is embedded in a dry bed of sand deposited within a purpose designed shaking-table soil container. The experimental system is subjected to a strong ground motion. The numerical simulation of the complete soil–foundation–structure system is conducted in the linear viscoelastic domain using the substructure approach. The matching of the experimental and numerical responses in both frequency and in time domain is satisfying. Many important aspects of SSI that are apparent in the experiment are captured by the numerical simulation. Furthermore, the numerical modelling is shown to be adequate for practical engineering design purposes. 相似文献

Elastoplastic constitutive modelling of soil–structure interfaces under monotonic and cyclic loading
Sofia Costa D’Aguiar Arezou Modaressi-Farahmand-Razavi Jaime Alberto dos Santos Fernando Lopez-Caballero 《Computers and Geotechnics》2011
This paper is dedicated to the non-linear numerical modelling of the soil–structure interface. Thus, in a first part, after the presentation of the constitutive model, the soil–structure interface interaction is treated in terms of direct shear test simulations. A strategy for the interface model parameters’ identification is also presented. This strategy is linked to the similitude of soil–structure interface behavior and the soil behavior, regarding the interface surface roughness. In a second part, the performance of the numerical simulations are verified numerically against published results for soil–structure experimental shear tests. Finally, as an application, interface stress paths are studied in axially loaded pile–soil systems and load transfer mechanisms are identified. 相似文献

The increasing importance of performance-based earthquake engineering analysis points out the necessity to assess quantitatively the risk of liquefaction of embankment-type structures. In this extreme scenario of soil liquefaction, devastating consequences are observed, e.g., excessive settlements, lateral spreading and slope instability. The present work discusses the global dynamic response and interaction of an earth structure-foundation system, so as to determine quantitatively the collapse mechanism due to foundation’s soil liquefaction. A levee-foundation system is simulated, and the influence of characteristics of input ground motion, as well as of the position of liquefied layer on the liquefaction-induced failure, is evaluated. For the current levee model, its induced damage level (i.e., induced crest settlements) is strongly related to both liquefaction apparition and dissipation of excess pore water pressure on the foundation. The respective role of input ground motion characteristics is a key component for soil liquefaction apparition, as long duration of mainshock can lead to important nonlinearity and extended soil liquefaction. A circular collapse surface is generated inside the liquefied region and extends toward the crest in both sides of the levee. Even so, when the liquefied layer is situated in depth, no significant effect on the levee response is found. This research work provides a reference case study for seismic assessment of embankment-type structures subjected to earthquake and proposes a high-performance computational framework accessible to engineers. 相似文献

Nonlinear numerical method for earthquake site response analysis I — elastoplastic cyclic model and parameter identification strategy 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:3

This paper, along with its companion paper, presents the importance of the adequate soil behaviour model to simulate earthquake
site response analysis. An elastoplastic model taking into account the elementary necessary plastic mechanisms such as progressive
friction mobilization, Coulomb type failure, critical state and dilatancy/contractance flow rule, is used. However, one of
the obstacles in the use of elastoplastic models in the everyday design processes for evaluation of the seismic soil response
is the difficulty in identifying their parameters. In this paper, a methodology to identify a coherent set of parameters of
the elastoplastic model for a given type of soil is presented. The strategy behind the decision making process proposed here
is based on the use of minimum physical and easily measurable properties of the soil to directly provide or indirectly assess
the required model parameters. 相似文献
