岩石场地重力式挡土墙地震土压力振动台实验研究

结合汶川震区调查资料,利用大型振动台模型试验,分析了碎石土填料的岩石场地重力式挡土墙的地震土压力及其分布规律,并以此对我国现行铁路、公路抗震规范做合理性讨论和细化。研究发现,地震作用下,挡土墙的动土压力沿墙高呈单峰曲线状分布,且60%～80%集中作用于挡墙中部;随着地震峰值加速度的增加,地震土压力分布逐渐偏离现行振震设计规范所认为的三角形线性状,而呈现非线性状;合力作用点高于1/3墙高,0.4g地震加速度作用下,接近0.4倍墙高,对岩石场地下粗粒径墙背填料的地震土压力作用点高度,建议取0.35倍墙高。对比计算表明,现行规范能基本满足工程抗震设计需要,但建议对柔性挡土墙的抗震设计作出必要规定。     

地基条件对仰斜式挡墙地震响应影响及墙高限值研究

地基条件和墙高是影响挡土墙地震响应特征的重要因素。建立不同地基条件的仰斜式挡土墙有限元时程分析模型,以墙身外倾最大危险状态为最不利时刻,研究地基条件和墙高对挡墙动力响应及墙-土相互作用的影响特征,并以满足力学检算和墙身位移限值为出发点,提出同时考虑地基条件和地震峰值加速度PGA的仰斜式挡墙墙高控制建议。结果表明：岩质地基挡墙墙背动土压力沿墙高呈中部大、上下小的凸形分布,大震下土压力较中震时有小幅减小;基底反力呈墙踵为0、墙趾集中的三角形图式,且随PGA和墙高的增加踵部脱空趋势更为明显;土质地基挡墙因墙底地基土变形对墙后填土的牵连作用,填土跟随墙身运动的趋势加剧,墙背动土压力与PGA呈正相关并沿墙高近似呈线性分布,于墙底处最大;墙身往复摆动使踵趾端地基土体塑性变形较基底中部明显,基底反力峰值向中部转移;根据最不利时刻稳定性、承载力检算,考虑对墙身位移合理限制,提出地震区仰斜式挡墙的允许墙高在设防PGA不超过0.2g时为8 m, 0.4g大震下硬质岩地基挡墙可达8 m,软质岩地基挡墙不宜超过6 m,碎石土、砂质黏土地基挡墙不宜超过4 m。     

挡土墙地震主动土压力及其分布形式研究

物部理论认为地震主动土压力呈线性分布,而且作用点位于墙底以上1/3高度处,与实测结果相差较大。基于库仑土压力理论的平面滑裂面假定,根据挡土墙后滑裂土体的力矩平衡,引入了土体对地震的放大效应,提出了地震主动土压力作用点位置的确定方法,给出了地震主动土压力强度的理论公式,并分析了地震放大系数对地震主动土压力及其分布的影响。结果表明,如果不考虑地震放大系数,地震主动土压力值与物部理论的计算结果基本相同,可见物部理论是本文方法的一种特例;地震主动土压力作用点都位于墙底以上0.40~0.50倍高度处,与试验结果比较吻合,说明物部理论有待进一步完善;地震主动土压力强度是一种作用等价的非线性分布,沿墙高的分布形式接近于抛物线,最大值也不再恒定于墙底,在挡土墙的稳定性设计时应予以重视。     

土质场地重力式挡土墙地震土压力振动台实验研究

汶川震区路基挡土墙震害表明,地震动荷载作用下重力式挡墙的位移、破坏与基础场地形式有关,除岩质场地和土质场地挡墙所共有的外倾形式,土质地基挡土墙还表现有整体推移及下部向外推移的倾转变形等复杂模式,因此地震土压力大小及分布也将受到这种复杂土-结相互作用的影响。基于碎石土及风化花岗岩填料的土质场地重力式挡土墙大型振动台模型实验,对挡土墙地震土压力及变形模式开展了对比研究,发现在强震作用下,土质地基挡墙因基础约束较弱而产生位移,并伴随明显的墙—土分离现象,致使实测地震土压力较之抗震设计规范计算值偏小（0.4g峰值加速度下约小6%～15%）,但作用点高度变化不大。由实验结果与现行抗震规范计算值的安全系数对比,认为对土质场地挡墙的地震土压力计算,按现行国内抗震设计规范基本能满足实际工程抗震设计需要;对于地震区挡墙设计,在允许挡墙发生少量容许位移的前提下可采用内摩擦角较大、自稳能力更好的墙背填料以减少地震土压力。     

地震作用下二级悬臂式挡土墙土压力计算的探讨

二级悬臂式挡墙由2个单级悬臂式挡墙呈上下砌垛方式组成。该结构不仅具有单级挡墙型式简单、占地少、对地基承载力要求不高、经济指标好和施工方便等一系列的特点,而且弥补了单级挡墙限制高度的缺点,同时具有重力式挡墙的一些优点,在工程中逐步得到了应用。以库伦土压力理论为基础结合物部-冈部法分别计算了峰值加速度为0.2g、0.3g和0.4g时,二级悬臂式挡墙在分级墙背理论和整体墙背理论下,上墙和下墙的地震主动土压力,并与同高度的单级悬臂式挡墙地震土压力进行了比较。结果表明:二级悬臂式挡墙受力更优,是1种较优的抗震支挡结构,分析结果可为二级悬臂式挡土墙的抗震设计提供参考。     

考虑结构性和主应力轴偏转的黄土填料挡土墙地震被动土压力研究

针对黄土地区现有的地震荷载作用下挡土墙土压力计算方法中的不足,进行了4个含水量和3个围压的平面应变试验,首次建立了平面应变强度参数与结构性的关系,扩展了被动状态下考虑应力主轴偏转的粘性土侧土压力系数计算公式,采用水平微分层分析方法,提出了一种地震作用下同时考虑黄土结构性和主应力轴偏转的挡土墙被动土压力计算方法。参数分析结果表明平面应变条件下地震被动土压力均大于三轴条件下,结构性土地震被动土压力大于无结构性土,墙土面有摩擦时地震被动土压力大于墙土面光滑时;地震被动土压力随水平和竖向地震加速度系数的增大而减小、随摩擦角、均布荷载、墙土摩擦角、粘聚力、构度指标的增大而增大。黄土地区地震被动土压力计算应综合考虑平面应变强度参数、结构性和墙土摩擦效应的影响。     

地震与海啸作用下重力式岸墙旋转位移拟静力分析

被动状态下位移预测是挡墙地震工程设计中的关键,而岸墙后回填土的孔隙水压力对墙体运动具有一定影响。采用拟静力法计算墙后部分浸水土体的被动动土压力,根据静力水压力理论近似计算土颗粒里的动水压力;同时考虑地震荷载和海啸力的作用,根据力矩极限平衡确定旋转门槛加速度系数,采用旋转块体方法计算岸墙被动旋转运动下的地震位移。探讨回填砂土内摩擦角、墙体与土间摩擦角、地震加速度系数、回填土地下水位、海啸波浪高度等参数对旋转位移的影响。     

饱和砂土地基中群桩侧向动力响应试验与数值模拟对比研究

可液化场地中桩基尤其是群桩的横向动力响应特性的研究,一直是国内外岩土地震工程领域关注的热点问题。由于桩-土-承台结构动力相互作用过程的复杂性,基于砂土-群桩-承台结构模型振动台试验,对饱和砂土中群桩侧向动力响应特性进行了分析。在此基础上,通过大型有限元软件OpenSees建立了三维模型,展开了数值模拟研究,并将数值模拟结果与试验结果进行了对比研究。结果表明:在正弦波输入下,无论是干砂还是饱和砂土试验,群桩承台加速度和位移时程与模拟承台加速度和位移时程在曲线趋势和峰值上基本吻合;在El-Centro地震波输入下,干砂和饱和砂土的模拟承台加速度时程曲线峰值和趋势与试验的比较吻合,而承台位移时程曲线频率比试验要高,但承台位移峰值基本一致。     

考虑填土侧向变形的地震土压力计算方法

地震土压力评价是挡土墙抗震设计的关键问题之一.以往的研究结果表明,挡墙上地震土压力的大小及分布与墙体的侧向位移或者墙后填土的侧向变形密切相关.经典的物部-冈部地震土压力公式可计算填土处于主动与被动状态的极限平衡条件下的土压力,未考虑挡墙侧向位移或填土侧向变形对土压力的影响.在研究土压力系数随应变增量比变化规律的基础上,本文指出土压力系数与挡土墙位移量之间不存在唯一性关系,发现正常固结填土的土压力系数与以应变增量比表述的填土侧向应变约束条件之间具有良好的唯一性,揭示了压剪耦合效应是土压力形成的物理本质;基于上述的唯一性关系和中间土楔等概念,提出了可考虑填土侧向变形的地震土压力实用计算方法,并通过土压力模型试验结果初步验证了该方法的合理性.     

强震下地铁车站结构动力响应特性

研究地下结构在地震中的动力响应,对地铁的建设和安全运营有重要的现实意义.根据试验条件和Bockingham定理,作者确定了试验相似比,针对北京地区的地质条件和典型的地铁车站结构进行了大型振动台试验,并对得到的加速度时程进行了分析.通过分析,发现土与地下结构间存在相互作用,但地下结构不会表现出其自振频率,而是随着土体一起振动;在低强度地震下,地下结构对土体影响较小;在高强度地震下,地下结构对土体影响较大;峰值加速度的放大倍数不会超过2,且同一点的放大倍数基本保持不变;随埋深的增加,卓越频率和其振幅会减小,且加速度峰值也有相似的规律.     

Mechanics and performance of a tied-back wall under seismic loads

In this paper the stability of a tied-back wall subjected to seismic loads is analysed for a predetermined mode of failure (rotation about the top of the wall) and the analysis is compared with data from tests on this type of wall using the seismic simulator at the State University of New York at Buffalo. We carried out a pseudo-static analysis of the problem using the Mononobe-Okabe earth pressure coefficients, wherein the dynamic effects due to the seismic loading are converted into equivalent static loads. The acceleration ratio at which the wall fails by rotation about the top was obtained by considering the moments due to the various lateral earth pressure resultants and the inertial forces induced in the soil due to the seismic loading. We found that the presence of wall friction on the passive side significantly enhances the stability of the flexible retaining wall under seismic loads. Thus, flexible retaining walls supporting dry cohesionless soil can be very efficient during earthquakes. Under moderate earthquakes, an increase in the depth of embedment increases the dynamic factor of safety significantly. However, beyond a certain acceleration ratio for a soil with a particular value of ø, any increase in the depth of emdedment has no effect in impeding failure, irrespective of any change in the geometry of the system. Seismic design charts are presented to evaluate the stability of, and to design, flexible retaining walls embedded in dry cohesionless soils under seismic loading.     

Seismic behavior of an inverted T-shape flexible retaining wall via dynamic centrifuge tests

In the design procedure for a retaining wall, the pseudo-static method has been widely used and dynamic earth pressure is calculated by the Mononobe–Okabe method, which is an extension of Coulomb’s earth pressure theory computed by force equilibrium. However, there is no clear empirical basis for treating the seismic force as a static force, and recent experimental research has shown that the Mononobe–Okabe method is quite conservative, and there exists a discrepancy between the assumed conditions and real seismic behavior during an earthquake. Two dynamic centrifuge tests were designed and conducted to reexamine the Mononobe–Okabe method and to evaluate the seismic lateral earth pressure on an inverted T-shape flexible retaining wall with a dry medium sand backfill. Results from two sets of dynamic centrifuge experiments show that inertial force has a significant impact on the seismic behavior on the flexible retaining wall. The dynamic earth pressure at the time of maximum moment during the earthquake was not synchronized and almost zero. The relationship between the back-calculated dynamic earth pressure coefficient at the time of maximum dynamic wall moment and the peak ground acceleration obtained from the wall base peak ground acceleration indicates that the seismic earth pressure on flexible cantilever retaining walls can be neglected at accelerations below 0.4 g. These results suggest that a wall designed with a static factor of safety should be able to resist seismic loads up to 0.3–0.4 g.     

挡土墙地震被动土压力的拟动力分析

对地震土压力的研究是地震区挡土墙安全设计的一项重要课题。地震条件下,目前的研究主要是给出了土压力的近似拟静力解析解。本文采用可考虑动力荷载下的周期和纵波及横波效应的拟动力方法,对挡土墙后的地震被动土压力进行分析。在挡土墙后平面滑裂面假设的基础上,考虑了水平和垂直向地震加速度、纵波速度、横波速度、挡土墙摩擦角、填土内摩擦角、填土坡角对地震被动土压力的影响。与Mononobe-Okabe理论的拟静力法不同的是,用本方法得出了沿墙身地震被动土压力是非线性变化的结果,这更符合地震条件下土压力的变化规律。     

重力式挡土墙地基抗震承载力探讨

高烈度地震区重力式挡土墙由于地基承载力不足导致墙身失稳是一种较常见震害类型。基于拟静力法原理,利用极限分析上限定理对地震作用下挡土墙地基极限承载力进行求解,通过典型算例分析了极限承载力随地震动峰值加速度的变化关系与机理,讨论了地基土强度参数对其变化趋势的影响,提出了同时考虑设防烈度和地基土性的挡土墙地基抗震容许承载力修正方法及相应修正系数取值建议。结果表明:设防烈度在9度及以内时,随着地震动峰值加速度增加,挡土墙地基极限承载力近似呈线性下降,下降速率与地基土黏聚力呈负相关性,而受内摩擦角的影响不显著;地震作用加剧挡土墙基底荷载倾斜与偏心导致地基破坏区缩减是造成极限承载力下降的主要原因;设防烈度大于7度时,挡土墙地基抗震容许承载力较天然工况下有所降低,8度和9度设防烈度对应的修正系数约为0.9和0.7。     

地震区跨活动断层桥梁桩基动力时程响应分析

为了研究强震区桥梁跨活动断层时,桩基在地震中的动力响应,以海文大桥为工程背景,利用Midas GTS有限元软件建立其强震区桩-海床岩土体-断层耦合作用的数值模型,研究不同强度(0.20g～0.60g)的50年超越概率为10%的地震波(后文简称5010地震波)作用下,桥梁桩基加速度、位移、弯矩及剪力的动力时程响应特性。结果表明：上部大厚度松散土体对桩身加速度有放大及滤波作用,而基岩对桩身加速度几乎不产生作用;断层上、下盘桩基础的桩顶水平位移随输入地震动强度的增大而增大,但达到振幅的时刻一致;上、下盘桩基础桩顶竖向位移时程响应都在50 s以后产生永久沉降;桩身最大弯矩截面处时程响应均在40 s以后产生永久弯矩;应重点考虑上部覆盖层软硬土体界面和基岩界面的抗弯承载力设计,及桩顶和基岩面附近的抗剪承载力设计;上盘桩基础按桩身加速度、弯矩、桩顶水平位移等动参数控制设计,下盘桩基础按动剪应力控制设计。     

Static and seismic limit equilibrium analysis of sliding retaining walls under different surcharge conditions

The static and seismic sliding limit equilibrium condition of retaining walls is investigated, and analytical solutions for the angle of the active slip surface, the critical acceleration coefficient and the coefficient of active earth pressure are provided for different surcharge conditions. In particular, walls retaining a horizontal backfill without surcharge, walls supporting an extended uniform surcharge applied at different distances from the wall and walls supporting a limited uniform surcharge or linear uniform surcharge parallel to the wall are considered in the analysis.The solutions have been derived in the framework of the limit equilibrium approach, considering the effect of the wall through its weight, and accounting for the shear resistance at the base of the wall and the inertia force arising in the wall under seismic conditions.For the wall without surcharge the effect of the vertical component of the seismic acceleration as well as the effects of the inclination of the wall internal face and of the soil–wall friction were also investigated.The angle of the slip plane, the critical seismic acceleration coefficient and the coefficient of active earth pressure are given as functions of dimensionless parameters and the boundary conditions for the applicability of each solution are specified. The influence of soil weight, surcharge conditions and inertia forces on the active earth pressure coefficient is analysed.     

Predicting seismic permanent displacement of soil walls under surcharge based on limit analysis approach

Seismic permanent displacement of the soil walls plays an important role in design of these structures. Due to the increase in growth of urban areas and the limitations in use of flat grounds, many structures are built near slopes and retaining walls. During earthquakes, these structures can apply an additional surcharge on the wall. The intensity and location of the surcharge is of considerable importance on the seismic displacements of the soil wall. In this study, by using the limit analysis and upper bound theorem, seismic permanent displacement of the soil wall under surcharge has been analyzed. Thus, a formulation is presented for calculating the yield acceleration and seismic displacement for different surcharge conditions. The effect of seismic acceleration, surcharge intensity, its location and soil properties is investigated. A parameter called the “displacement coefficient” is proposed, and is a potential modification for Newmark’s sliding-block method.     

A new limit equilibrium method for the pseudostatic design of embedded cantilevered retaining walls

This paper describes a new pseudostatic limit equilibrium method for the design of cantilevered retaining walls under seismic actions. The method has been applied in a parametric study of the effects of the geometry of the wall, considering different excavated and embedded depths, of the strength of the soil, and of the contact between the soil and the wall. The pseudostatic predictions are in very good agreement, both in terms of horizontal contact stress and bending moment distributions, with the results of truly dynamic 2-D finite difference analyses and published experimental data. It is found that for increasing strengths of the soil–wall system both the critical acceleration and the maximum bending moment on the wall increase. In other words, a stronger soil–wall system will experience smaller displacements during the earthquake, but this is paid for by increasing internal forces in the wall.
