断层边坡地震动载效应的数值模拟

地震荷载作用下,断层两侧边坡稳定性一直是研究重点,本文主要探讨动态加载对不同位置坡体产生的地震动效应。首先,建立一个截面大小为500 km×100 km的有限元二维动态铲形断层模型,在地表断层两侧构建对称边坡来模拟滑坡地形。然后加载脉冲震源,通过对震源(深度为14 km)处节点指定加速度的方法,模拟计算地震发生后100 s内地震波传播对距断层分别为1 km,30 km及100 km的不同边坡震动产生的影响。结果显示:边坡震动强度随着震源距的增加而快速衰减,下盘的衰减比上盘更为强烈;距断层相同位置处,上盘比下盘振动幅度大;相同山体的不同位置上,水平方向振幅随断层距增大而衰减;垂直方向振幅,相同高程处的振幅相近,高程越高振幅相对减小;随着断层距的增加,山体的水平和垂直方向振幅都逐渐变小;震源距较远位置处的振幅比近震源位置小很多,说明近震位置处振动强度大,即在同等地质条件下,近断层的上盘区域更易发生滑坡。     

交通荷载及其对紧邻基坑支护结构影响的现场实测分析

目前对交通荷载对深基坑围护结构的影响研究尚处于起步阶段。本文通过对某深基坑工程交通荷载以及交通荷载作用下深基坑围护结构振动加速度及桩后动土压力的现场实测研究,给出了坑边车辆荷载计算经验公式,并分析了车辆荷载大小、行驶速度等因素对基坑围护结构振动特性及动土压力的影响规律。结果表明:在地表面处,车辆荷载产生的振动以竖直向为主;车辆荷载的大小将直接影响围护结构振动加速度幅值及动土压力大小;车辆行驶速度不同,车辆振动产生的峰值加速度和土体惯性力也不同,从而使得基坑围护结构桩后动土压力也不同,车辆行驶速度越大,基坑围护结构振动峰值加速度及动土压力也越大;车辆交通荷载对基坑围护结构的影响将随着距离的增加而衰减。研究所得结果可供相关基坑工程设计施工参考。     

地震作用下均质土坡动力特性的振动台试验研究

设计并完成比例尺1∶100的边坡振动台模型试验,讨论模型的相似关系、传感器的布置及模型的建造,并编制相应的动荷载加载方案。通过输入不同类型、不同幅值、频率的动荷载,分析模型边坡在地震作用下的动力响应规律以及地震动参数对边坡动力特性和动力响应的影响。试验结果表明,在坡体的表面和坡内的竖直方向上,加速度放大系数均随着高程增加而明显增大。当输入不同压缩比的地震波时,压缩比越大坡体的动力响应越明显,即随着输入动荷载的频率增加,越接近土体的自振频率加速度放大效应越明显;在坡体的同一高程处,坡面的加速度放大系数略大于坡体内的加速度放大系数,表现出一定的趋表效应,同时随着输入地震波振幅的增加,加速度放大系数整体出现递减的趋势。实验结果分析有助于揭示土质边坡在地震作用下的失稳破坏机制,为今后边坡工程的抗震设计提供积极的参考。     

季节冻土区土钉支护边坡地震反应动力特性分析

为了更科学地评价地震荷载作用下土钉支护季节冻土边坡的抗震性能，基于热-动力理论控制方程，应用大型非线性有限元软件ABAQUS，建立带有黏弹性人工边界的地震荷载作用下土钉支护季节冻土边坡的数值模型，对比分析夏季和冬季这两个典型季节时的加速度响应、位移响应以及土钉轴力响应。结果表明：无论是夏季还是冬季，加速度峰值随着季节冻土边坡高程以及激振加速度峰值增加而增加，在夏季时刻的季节冻土边坡坡顶位置处达到最大。此外，在不同地震波峰值加速度作用下，相同位置处的位移响应峰值却有明显的不同，同一地震烈度地震波激震时，夏季的季节冻土边坡坡顶位移最大，表明地震荷载对夏季的季节冻土边坡坡顶破坏效应最为明显，土钉轴力具有高程放大效应和坡面放大效应，季节冻土边坡坡底至坡顶的土钉端部轴力峰值逐渐增大。文中数值模拟模型及结论可为制定地震荷载作用下土钉支护季节冻土边坡抗震设计提供一定的参考。

为了研究地震作用下含软弱夹层顺层岩质边坡表面的放大效应,借用FLAC3D软件,建立了含软弱夹层顺层岩质边坡动力分析数值模型;在合理考虑地震动输入、边界条件、网格划分与模型参数的基础上,分析了地震动峰值、频率、持时以及初动方向等因素影响下的边坡表面放大效应。研究结果表明：①地震动峰值、频率和初动方向对边坡表面放大效应的影响较显著,而地震动持时对边坡表面放大效应的影响微小;②随着地震动峰值的增加,放大效应由软弱夹层之上的坡面及坡顶面向坡肩点逐渐增大,坡肩点的放大效应最大;③当输入地震动频率小于边坡的自振频率时,边坡表面加速度放大倍数较小,且频率越小,放大倍数越小,当输入地震动频率大于边坡的自振频率时,边坡表面加速度放大倍数较大,且频率越大,放大倍数亦越大。     

高边坡在水平动荷载作用下的动力响应规律研究

高岩石边坡在水平动荷载作用下的动力响应规律是有关工程界十分关心的问题。本文通过大量的数值模拟分析对边坡的动力响应规律进行研究，发现了高岩石边坡在水平动荷载下动力响应的加速度、速度、位移三量放大系数等值线在边坡剖面上分布的规律性特点。对于一定的岩土体材料，当边坡高度在一定时，边坡动力响应的加速度、速度、位移三量会随着边坡角度的增大而减小；当边坡的角度一定时，边坡动力响应的加速度、速度、位移三量会随着边坡高度的增加而放大；边坡的下覆岩层的材料特性对于边坡的动力响应的加速度、速度、位移三量的放大作用的影响具有一定的规律性；边坡动力响应的加速度、速度二量受动荷载的特征周期影响较位移明显，具有一定的规律性。边坡的边缘部位对振动的反应幅值较之内部存在放大现象，坡度决定了三量分布的等值线方向的走向。其结论性成果体现了高岩石边坡的地震动力响应特征，为高边坡工程提供理论基础和实践依据。

土质边坡地震动力响应规律研究

地震往往会触发大量的山体滑坡,给人类和社会带来巨大灾难。为研究探索土质边坡在地震作用下的动力响应规律,本文建立了二维均质边坡有限元模型,模拟计算了其在地震作用下的动力响应,对地震响应中学术界和工程界最为关心的加速度、位移和频谱特性响应进行了研究分析,并得到以下几点结论:①在坡顶和坡面处,与输入地震动加速度时程比较,输出加速度峰值出现的时刻有滞后现象;②坡体内部对输入地震动PGA存在垂直和临空面放大作用,同时垂直放大作用呈现出节律性变化的特点;③地震作用下坡体的最大变形在水平方向上出现在坡脚处,在竖直方向上出现在坡肩处;④边坡体内部对输入地震动的频谱成份产生滤波作用,滤掉了输入地震动中的高频成份,且随着高度的增加,这种滤波作用呈现增强的趋势。     

基于Bishop条分法的多点多向地震动作用下边坡稳定性分析

以人工合成的多点、多向地震加速度时程作为地震动输入,基于Bishop条分法推导了地震边坡稳定安全系数的表达公式。在此基础上,针对某一具体算例,分析了不同地震峰值加速度下的不同坡高边坡稳定安全系数的变化规律,并与单点、单向地震动输入的结果进行了对比。结果表明,对于本文给出的算例,在坡高与地震峰值加速度都相同的条件下,多点、多向地震作用下的边坡安全系数要大于单点、单向作用下的安全系数;当坡高小于30 m、地震峰值加速度小于0.1 g时,多点、多向地震动作用下的边坡安全系数与单点、单向相差不大;当坡高大于30 m、地震峰值加速度大于0.1 g时,多点、多向地震动作用下的边坡安全系数相对单点、单向要小36%以上,此时边坡稳定性评价必须考虑地震动的多点、多向特性。     

Adaptive bang–bang control for the vibration control of structures under earthquakes

An adaptive method based on the modified bang–bang control algorithm is proposed for the vibration control of structures subjected to unexpected severe seismic loads greater than the design loads. A hydraulic‐type active mass damper was made and experiments were carried out in the laboratory using a one‐story test structure and a five‐story test structure with the active mass damper. Through numerical simulations and experiments it was confirmed that the proposed method works well to suppress the vibration of structures subjected to unexpected severe seismic loads greater than the design loads without causing any unstable situations.

基于拟动力法的抗滑桩加固边坡地震稳定性分析

地震力作用下土质边坡动态稳定性研究对实际边坡工程有着重要的意义。采用拟动力法结合简化毕肖普法研究坡顶抗滑桩加固土质边坡在地震力作用下的动态稳定性。尽管拟静力法是目前处理地震力最为广泛的方法之一,但其局限性在于无法考虑地震力随时间变化且忽略了地震波在土体中的传播。而拟动力法采用正弦波模拟地震波在土中传播,并考虑地震波从坡脚传递到坡顶的相位差以及阻尼力对边坡稳定性的影响,通过边坡安全系数的变化揭示土质边坡在地震力作用下的稳定性变化规律。将得到的结果与拟静力法进行对比,突出了拟动力法的优势。最后,考虑水平地震加速度系数、加速度幅值放大系数以及土体内摩擦角对边坡稳定性的影响,以期对实际工程提供理论借鉴。     

Seismic stability analysis of fractured rock slopes by yield design theory

This paper deals with the problem of stability of fractured rock slope located in seismic area. The rock mass is crossed by two sets of fractures which are considered to be planar, parallel and persistent. The effects of both horizontal seismic coefficient and strength characteristics of fractures are addressed. The analysis is based upon the kinematic approach of the yield design theory and the pseudo-static method as well. The fundamental inequality of the kinematic approach is invoked and the failure of the fractured rock slope is considered through simple translational mechanism involving a one-partsliding block. Rigorous upper bounds of the so-called stability factor for the structure under study of given slope angle, strength properties of constituent materials and seismic loads are obtained. The results are presented in the form of stability charts relating the estimated upper bound solutions to the friction angle of fractures.The used procedure highlights the destabilizing effects of the seismic loadings and is capable of conducting parametric studies. Furthermore, the results obtained far from various sets of data show good performance and further research work is planed to extend the analysis to include a large number of sub-problems.     

土-结构动力相互作用问题分析中地震动输入的一种新方法

为实现地震作用下土-结构动力相互作用问题的有限元模拟,需要在人工边界上完成地震动的有效输入,目前工程和科研中常用的地震动输入方法有两种:波动输入方法和振动输入方法。波动输入方法的模拟精度高,但实施上相对复杂且耗时,而振动输入方法处理简单,但模拟精度较低。针对应力型人工边界提出一种在人工边界上实现地震动输入的新方法,该方法通过对土-结构有限元模型中由人工边界节点及相邻节点组成的局部子结构施加自由波场位移时程并进行动力分析,从而直接获得可实现地震波动有效输入的等效地震荷载,然后在土-结构有限元模型的人工边界节点上施加等效输入地震荷载并完成动力计算,由此完成土-结构动力相互作用问题的地震动输入和地震反应计算。与原有波动输入方法相比,新方法避免了原方法需分别计算人工边界上自由场应力和由引入人工边界条件引起的附加力,以及需要根据不同人工边界面的外法线方向确定荷载作用方向等较为复杂的处理过程,具有等效地震荷载计算简便、地震动输入过程更易于实施的特点。采用均匀弹性半空间和成层弹性半空间一维地震反应算例初步验证新方法的正确性和可靠性。     

Contribution of tuned liquid column gas dampers to the performance of offshore wind turbines under wind,wave, and seismic excitations

The main intention of the present study is to reduce wind, wave, and seismic induced vibrations of jackettype offshore wind turbines (JOWTs) through a newly developed vibration absorber, called tuned liquid column gas damper (TLCGD). Using a Simulink-based model, an analytical model is developed to simulate global behavior of JOWTs under different dynamic excitations. The study is followed by a parametric study to explore efficiency of the TLCGD in terms of nacelle acceleration reduction under wind, wave, and earthquake loads. Study results indicate that optimum frequency of the TLCGD is rather insensitive to excitation type. In addition, while the gain in vibration control from TLCGDs with higher mass ratios is generally more pronounced, heavy TLCGDs are more sensitive to their tuned frequency such that ill-regulated TLCGD with high mass ratio can lead to destructive results. It is revealed that a well regulated TLCGD has noticeable contribution to the dynamic response of the JOWT under any excitation.     

STUDY ON DYNAMIC RESPONSE AND INSTABILITY OF SOIL-ROCK MIXTURE DEPOSIT WITH DIFFERENT STONE CONTENTS AND SLOPE GRADIENTS

Soil-rock mixture deposit is an extremely heterogeneous loose rock-soil deposit formed since Quaternary, which is composed of blocks, fine-grained soil and pore with a certain engineering scale and high strength and has a certain stone content. These soil-rock mixtures accumulated on slopes have been completely destroyed and their mechanical strength is very low. They are widely distributed in the mountainous areas of Southwest China, which poses a great threat to the engineering. Earthquakes occur frequently in Southwest China, and the instability of soil-rock mixture deposit under seismic load is one of the important factors causing the damage to this type of deposit. The dynamic response of soil-rock mixture deposit under seismic load is an important index to study its instability mechanism under seismic load. Based on indoor shaking table model test, the influence of rock content and slope gradient on dynamic response characteristics of soil-rock mixture deposit was studied. In model tests, rock content is 30%, 40% and 50%respectively, and slope gradient varies from 20°, 30° and 40°. Two different seismic loading frequencies and three different excitation strengths were given. The peak acceleration(PGA)amplification coefficients in horizontal and vertical directions of soil-rock mixture deposit were analyzed under the change of rock content and slope gradient. The permanent displacement and deformation law of the top and foot of the slope of soil-rock mixture deposit were analyzed by model test. The experimental results show that the dynamic acceleration response characteristics of the soil-rock mixture deposits at the top and foot of the slope are different under different slope gradients and rock content conditions, and the horizontal PGA amplification coefficients of the soil-rock mixture deposits are also different. With the same seismic frequency and excitation intensity, the horizontal PGA amplification coefficient increases with increased slope gradient, and the rate gets faster. With the increase of stone content, the magnification coefficient of horizontal PGA decreases, and the higher the stone content, the slower the decrease rate of horizontal PGA magnification coefficient. When the slope gradient of soil-rock mixture deposit increases, the corresponding horizontal and vertical PGA amplification coefficients increase with the same seismic frequency and excitation intensity. The amplification coefficients of PGA in the vertical direction are different, but the overall magnification is weaker than that in the horizontal direction. The vertical PGA amplification coefficients of the foot, middle and lower parts of the slope are larger, while the vertical PGA amplification coefficients of the upper and middle parts of the slope tend to decrease. The higher the frequency of seismic wave is, the smaller the vertical PGA amplification coefficient corresponding to the same elevation will be, which indicates that the vertical PGA amplification coefficient is negatively correlated with the elevation. The variation trend of PGA magnification coefficient of soil-rock mixed deposit in vertical direction is different with the change of stone content. Under the same excitation intensity, the larger the slope gradient is, the larger the permanent displacement at the top of the slope will be, and the larger the rock content, the smaller the corresponding displacement at the top of the slope. The permanent displacement of the top of the slope is obviously larger than that of the foot of the slope, which indicates that the magnification effect of the top of the slope is obvious. After the vibration process and sliding of the landslide, the large-sized particles in the soil-rock mixture deposit move downward faster and slip on the surface of the deposit body. There was a very obvious phenomenon of particle sorting in the pile-up at the foot of the landslide body. The results of this study are of practical significance for the analysis of the dynamic response law of soil-rock mixture deposit under seismic load due to the change of rock content and slope gradient.     

地震与水压力耦合作用下岩质边坡倾覆解析方法

以往对平面破坏模式的岩质边坡稳定性评价,主要关注潜在滑坡体在自重、坡体内静水压力和地震荷载耦合作用下沿破坏面的抗滑稳定性,并未涉及各类外荷载作用线不通过潜在滑体重心而引起的绕坡趾倾覆稳定性。针对这一问题,提出地震与张裂缝水压耦合作用下的岩质边坡倾覆稳定性解析方法,基于力矩平衡原理推导出岩质边坡抗倾覆稳定性系数的一般表达式;通过深入的变动参数比较研究,探讨张裂缝水压和地震荷载对抗倾覆安全系数的影响,认为水压是控制岩质边坡倾覆破坏的决定性因素,而地震荷载处于次要因素,其在一定程度上增加或减小抗倾覆稳定性。在此基础上建立不同参数组合下的岩质边坡抗倾覆稳定图,为工程技术人员快速评估饱水岩质边坡地震倾覆稳定性提供直接依据。     

Vibration characteristics of a suspension bridge under traffic and no traffic conditions

This paper presents the variations of vibration under different traffic conditions on the Fatih Sultan Mehmet suspension bridge in Istanbul, Turkey.The main intention is to determine the vibration amplifications under heavy-traffic as opposed to no-traffic conditions. This is the first study in this particular area that has been performed on this bridge, over which an average of 200,000 cars pass daily. Two full-scale ambient vibration surveys were carried out on two different days to determine the response of the bridge to diverse traffic conditions. Initial measurements were taken as the bridge experienced heavy stress conditions caused by rush-hour traffic. Secondary measurements were recorded after closing the bridge to traffic. The data were analyzed to gauge the vibration effects of heavy-traffic conditions on the bridge and to determine the effects of different traffic conditions on the free vibration characteristics of the bridge. The analyses were performed utilizing different amplification methods. Results show that there are important differences in the amplifications of the vibration amplitudes. Especially heavy-traffic on the bridge causes the vibration response of the bridge to be intensified in comparison to no-traffic conditions. Additionally, predominant frequencies are shifted as a direct result of traffic load acting on the bridge. Even more importantly and is probably analogous for all long-span bridges, is the fact that any movement causing vibration on the bridge is carried and amplified along its length. These significant amplifications indicate the important effect of varying traffic loads and how the bridge responds to the diverse movements it experiences.

A Discussion on Dynamic Characteristics of Undisturbed Loess by Dynamic Triaxial Test

Based on the dynamic triaxial test system and using the fitted wave of the Wenchuan earthquake and 1 Hz constant amplitude sinusoid,the paper compares the results of tests on undisturbed loess samples under different loads and vibration modes but under same saturated conditions.Results of the comparative experiment show:The stress-strain curves have a similar trend under random seismic loading and constant amplitude sinusoidal loading,but the random seismic loading is more sensitive to failure strength of the undisturbed loess samples under the same stress.     

Viscoelastic coupling dampers (VCDs) for enhanced wind and seismic performance of high‐rise buildings

As high‐rise buildings are built taller and more slender, their dynamic behavior becomes an increasingly critical design consideration. Wind‐induced vibrations cause an increase in the lateral wind design loads, but more importantly, they can be perceived by building occupants, creating levels of discomfort ranging from minor annoyance to severe motion sickness. The current techniques to address wind vibration perception include stiffening the lateral load‐resisting system, adding mass to the building, reducing the number of stories, or incorporating a vibration absorber at the top of the building; each solution has significant economic consequences for builders. Significant distributed damage is also expected in tall buildings under severe seismic loading, as a result of the ductile seismic design philosophy that is widely used for such structures. In this paper, the viscoelastic coupling damper (VCD) that was developed at the University of Toronto to increase the level of inherent damping of tall coupled shear wall buildings to control wind‐induced and earthquake‐induced dynamic vibrations is introduced. Damping is provided by incorporating VCDs in lieu of coupling beams in common structural configurations and therefore does not occupy any valuable architectural space, while mitigating building tenant vibration perception problems and reducing both the wind and earthquake responses of the structure. This paper provides an overview of this newly proposed system, its development, and its performance benefits as well as the overall seismic and wind design philosophy that it encompasses. Two tall building case studies incorporating VCDs are presented to demonstrate how the system results in more efficient designs. In the examples that are presented, the focus is on the wind and moderate earthquake responses that often govern the design of such tall slender structures while reference is made to other studies where the response of the system under severe seismic loading conditions is examined in more detail and where results from tests conducted on the viscoelastic material and the VCDs in full‐scale are presented.
