Earthquake-induced displacements of gravity retaining walls and anchor-reinforced slopes

This paper examines in terms of seismic performance, the effectiveness of anchor reinforcement against gravity retaining walls used to stabilize a dry homogenous fill slope in earthquake-prone environment. Both analyzed stabilizing measures have the same design yield acceleration estimated from a limit equilibrium approach. The earthquake-induced displacements are calculated using a sliding block formulation of the equation of motion. Sliding failure along the base of the gravity retaining wall and rotational failure of the soil active wedge behind the wall, as well as rotational failure of the slide mass of the anchor-reinforced slope were considered in the present formulation. For the specific characteristics of the analyzed fill slope and input horizontal ground motion, the slope reinforced with anchors appears to experience vertical and horizontal seismic displacements at slope crest smaller by 12% and respectively, 32% than the vertical and horizontal earthquake-induced deformations estimated at the top of the active wedge behind the gravity retaining wall.     

Shaking Table Tests on Bridge Foundation Reinforced by Anti-slide Piles on Slope

Based on the requirement of seismic reinforcement of bridge foundation on slope in the Chengdu-Lanzhou railway project, a shaking table model test of anti-slide pile protecting bridge foundation in landslide section is designed and completed. By applying Wenchuan seismic waves with different acceleration peaks, the stress and deformation characteristics of bridge pile foundation and anti-slide pile are analyzed, and the failure mode is discussed. Results show that the dynamic response of bridge pile and anti-slide pile are affected by the peak value of seismic acceleration of earthquake, with which the stress and deformation of the structure increase. The maximum dynamic earth pressure and the moment of anti-slide piles are located near the sliding surface, while that of bridge piles are located at the top of the pile. Based on the dynamic response of structure, local reinforcement needs to be carried out to meet the requirement of the seismic design. The PGA amplification factor of the surface is greater than the inside, and it decreases with the increase of the input seismic acceleration peak. When the slope failure occurs, the tension cracks are mainly produced in the shallow sliding zone and the coarse particles at the foot of the slope are accumulated.

Three-dimensional finite element analysis of the seismic behavior of inclined micropiles

This paper presents a thorough study of the behavior of inclined micropiles under seismic loading. Analysis is carried out using a full three-dimensional finite element modeling. The soil media is assumed to be elastic with Rayleigh damping, while micropiles are modeled as 3D elastic beam elements. The structure is described by a single degree of freedom system composed of a concentrated mass and a column. The paper is composed of four parts. The first part includes a literature survey on the behavior of inclined micropiles. The second part presents the numerical model used in this study. The third part concerns analysis related to the influence of micropiles inclination on the seismic behavior of a group of micropiles embedded in a homogeneous soil with a uniform stiffness. The last part deals with the seismic behavior of inclined micropiles embedded in a soil layer with a depth-based increasing stiffness. The results of this study provide valuable information about the influence of micropiles inclination on dynamic amplification and on the seismic-induced internal forces in micropiles.     

门源MS6.9地震诱发明长城山丹段破坏机理分析

2022年1月8日青海门源发生了M_S6.9地震,造成位于低烈度区的甘肃省山丹县境内明长城墙体局部坍塌。作为国家重点文物保护遗址,其坍塌墙体距离此次地震震中114 km,地面振动强度相对较弱,因而其地震破坏机理值得深入研究。地震后,对已坍塌长城墙体进行工程地质调查、病害调查,然后结合调查结果进行理论分析与数值模拟来研究坍塌墙体震害机理。结果表明：此段长城墙体掏蚀病害发育,墙体构造裂缝暴露,尚无保护措施;坍塌墙体临近国道和便道,环境振动效应明显;墙体南北两侧风化差异性明显,北侧墙体含水率较高,夯土强度较低;墙体既有病害加剧了地震惯性力的影响,导致低烈度区长城墙体发生局部坍塌。此次地震对甘肃河西地区明长城遗址保护具有警示意义,研究结果为后期明长城抗震保护提供一定的科学依据。

Computation of sliding displacements of bridge abutments by pseudo-dynamic method

The paper focuses on seismic sliding displacement calculations of gravity wall bridge abutments when subjected to passive condition during earthquakes. Pseudo-dynamic approach has been used for the calculation of the passive seismic earth pressure. A novel element of the present investigation is the computation of seismic passive earth pressure coefficients by considering the composite curved rupture surface behind the abutment wall in the framework of limit equilibrium method. Sliding failure along the wall base is considered in the new pseudo-dynamic method. The critical seismic acceleration coefficient for sliding and sliding component of the displacement, resulting from horizontal and vertical sinusoidal ground accelerations, are computed by using Newmark's sliding block method. The effect of sliding on the response of earth structures is evaluated and comparisons are made between sliding displacements calculated using planar and composite failure mechanisms. Results of the comparative study showed that the assumption of planar failure mechanism for rough soil–wall interfaces significantly overestimates the critical seismic accelerations for sliding and underestimates the sliding displacements.

Seismic stability analysis of reinforced slopes

In this paper, the seismic stability of slopes reinforced with geosynthetics is analysed within the framework of the pseudo-static approach. Calculations are conducted by applying the kinematic theorem of limit analysis. Different failure modes are considered, and for each analytical expressions are derived that enable one to readily calculate the reinforcement force required to prevent failure and the yield acceleration of slopes subjected to earthquake loading. Several results are presented in order to illustrate the influence of seismic forces on slope stability. Moreover, a suitable procedure based on the assessment of earthquake-induced permanent displacement is proposed for the design of reinforced slopes in seismically active areas.

Decoupled seismic analysis of an earth dam

The seismic stability of an earth dam is evaluated via the decoupled displacement analysis using the accelerograms obtained by ground response analysis to compute the earthquake-induced displacements. The response analysis of the dam is carried out under both 1D and 2D conditions, incorporating the non-linear soil behaviour through the equivalent linear method. Ten artificial and five real accelerograms were used as input motions and four different depths were assumed for the bedrock.1D and 2D response analyses were in a fair agreement with the exception of the top third of the dam where only a 2D modelling of the problem could ensure that the acceleration field is properly described. The acceleration amplification ratio obtained in the 2D analyses was equal to about 2 in all the cases considered, consistently with data from real case histories.The maximum permanent displacements computed by the sliding block analysis were small, being less than 10% of the service freeboard; a satisfactory performance of the dam can then be envisaged for any of the seismic scenarios considered in the analyses.     

Recent applications of sliding block theory to geotechnical design

The sliding block theory was proposed by Newmark for determining the permanent displacement of embankments and dams under earthquake loading. This paper highlights recent applications of sliding block theory to different geotechnical structures. The equations to determine seismic factor of safety, yield acceleration and permanent displacement are given for rock block, soil slope, landfill cover, geosynthetic-reinforced soil retaining wall, and composite breakwater. The presented equations for seismic stability degenerate to that of static stability in the absence of earthquake. The permanent displacement for various structures can be obtained from that of a horizontal sliding block through a correction factor. A simplified procedure is included for the permanent displacement under vertical acceleration. The sliding block approach is rational for design under high seismic load.     

Regional seismic slope failure probability matrices

A method for constructing seismic slope failure probability matrices is presented. The core of the method is a probabilistic sliding block model which allows for systematic incorporation of the uncertainties associated with both the ground excitation and the strength of the slope materials. The extent of damage to a slope is defined in terms of the magnitude of the earthquake-induced permanent displacement. The intensity of the ground shaking is characterized by a peak ground acceleration as well as an earthquake magnitude, and the possible scatter in the ground motion details is included through the use of an equivalent stationary motion model. After the effects of essential contributing factors are discussed, regional seismic slope failure probability matrices are presented for general applications.     

边坡加固的抗震性能参数分析

传统基于瑞典法的边坡加固抗震性能参数分析,通过建立强度参数与临界滑动面对应关系完成推导,由于因荷载过大,边坡建筑物抗震性能降低,准确率不高等问题,提出新的边坡加固抗震性能参数分析方法,对边坡加固的抗震性能参数进行分析,更好地通过加固提高其抗震性能。运用新型边坡加固抗震性能参数分析方法,采用基于极向条分的极限分析上限法和非线性Mohr-Coulomb破坏准则,分析边坡加固措施对边坡抗震性能的影响,通过对比有、无加固措施状态下不同能量功率的运算确定边坡抗震性能,利用MATLAB软件获取边坡加固抗震性能参数的最优解。经实验证明,边坡潜在破坏范围受边坡坡顶受荷和边坡加固情况的作用较大,地震荷载系数及非线性系数越大,土体强度非线性越小,边坡抗震性能受地震荷载的作用也越大。边坡抗滑桩最优抗震支护方位位于X_F/L_x=0.7处,在地震荷载从0上升至0.2的情况下,非线性系数为1.2、1.4、1.6以及2.0时的边坡抗震性能分别下降了40.1%、46.8%、57.5%以及61.5%。新型的抗震性能参数分析方法有效地提高了结果准确率,对边坡加固的抗震性能能达到准确分析。     

地震荷载作用下加筋土挡墙动力特性分析

利用有限元软件对加筋土挡墙在地震荷载作用下的动力特性进行模拟分析,重点分析其在不同加筋长度、加筋间距以及峰值加速度条件下的动力响应特性。通过有限元分析一个高6m、底部为基础土的加筋土挡墙在地震荷载作用下的行为,针对理想化墙体研究加筋土挡墙的某些动力特性。模拟计算结果表明加筋土挡墙的加筋长度、加筋间距以及峰值加速度的变化对其水平位移、沉降及受力有较大影响。采用长度大的加筋材料可以有效减小加筋土挡墙的水平位移,但这样将导致加筋拉伸荷载的增大,同时也将导致加筋土挡墙的隆起增大。峰值加速度的大小对加筋土挡墙的水平位移有很大影响,当峰值加速度增大时水平位移也随之增大,但并不呈线性增长关系。减小加筋间距会有效地限制加筋土挡墙面板整体的水平位移,但在一定范围内减小加筋间距也会使加筋区域内土体底部挡墙的水平位移出现相对增大的现象,因此通过减小加筋间距来限制加筋土挡墙的位移在一定程度上具有局限性。
