为研究曲线桥梁在多维地震激励下考虑桩-土动力相互作用的地震响应特性,本文建立了空间桩-土脱离、摩阻和土体压缩非线性理论分析模型。为简化计算将该非线性弹簧模型进行线性化处理,结合有限元ANSYS分析平台建立了黄土场地的曲线桥仿真分析模型,对考虑桩-土相互作用的曲线桥进行了多维多工况数值分析,对比研究了曲线主梁跨中弯矩、墩底剪力和弯矩及桥墩顶位移的地震响应。结果表明:考虑桩-土相互作用的曲线桥梁主梁跨中内力与地震波输入方向密切相关,三维地震作用下主梁内力最大;各工况地震荷载作用下桥墩底部径向剪力响应比切向剪力响应大很多,而桥墩径向弯矩比切向弯矩略小;同一工况下不同桥墩顶切向位移响应大小相当,而径向位移差异较大。在进行非规则曲线桥梁抗震设计时,应充分考虑多维和单维地震激励输入工况。     

地震动相干效应对高墩大跨铁路桥梁的动力响应影响

地震动相干效应会导致桥梁结构的动力响应有别于一致激励。为了研究相干效应对高墩大跨桥梁这种重要构筑物动力响应的影响,以西部某高墩大跨连续刚构铁路桥实际工程为研究对象,利用相位差谱人工地震波合成技术,建立了考虑相干效应的高墩大跨桥梁数值分析模型。对比分析了纵向和横向地震激励下,部分相干效应对结构动力响应的影响,并与一致激励的情况进行了对比,研究了不同工况下主梁和桥墩内力响应的变化规律。结果表明:纵向激励下,部分相干效应对连续刚构桥高墩影响明显,其弯矩、剪力和相对位移均为最大值,墩高对其非常敏感,且会增大该桥伸缩缝位移响应;横向激励下,部分相干效应对连续梁桥体系的桥墩剪力、弯矩和位移响应有明显放大作用。     

动水压力作用下深水桥墩非线性地震响应分析

为研究动水压力作用对深水桥墩地震响应的影响,本文分别采用Morison方程和辐射波浪理论建立了动水压力计算方法,分析了动水压力作用对桥墩地震响应的影响;同时分析了考虑材料非线性时动水压力作用对桥墩地震响应的影响。研究表明:动水压力作用增大了桥墩的地震响应,其影响随着相对水深的增加而增强;考虑材料非线性时动水压力对桥墩地震响应的影响,相对线性材料而言有所变化。     

楔形挡块对中小跨径梁桥横向抗震性能的影响

在地震作用下中小跨径梁桥横向易出现落梁以及桥墩破坏。为了防止桥梁出现上述震害,提出以楔形挡块作为限位装置来提升桥梁的横向抗震性能。以一座3×20 m连续混凝土梁桥为例,通过OpenSees软件来建立有限元模型,在考虑板式橡胶支座的摩擦滑移效应、钢筋混凝土桥墩的非线性等力学效应的情况下,对其进行动力时程分析。引入主梁位移响应、桥墩顶部最大位移响应等作为指标,用柔性挡块、刚性挡块两种工况来与楔形挡块进行对比分析,并且分析楔形挡块不同角度对位移响应的影响。结果表明:楔形挡块角度设置合适时能够有效约束梁体位移响应,并且不显著提高桥墩顶部的位移响应。     

基于人工地震波作用下大跨度悬索桥多点激励地震响应分析

为研究大跨度悬索桥在多点激励作用下的地震响应规律,在已有的功率谱模型基础上提出了改进的功率谱模型,并将其应用到人工地震波合成过程中。以某水库上主跨720 m双塔单跨悬索桥为研究对象,用Midas civil建立全桥有限元模型,采用大质量法进行不同波速多点激励地震响应分析。结果表明:大跨度悬索桥在多点激励作用下的主塔内力响应、主塔位移响应及主梁位移响应均受行波效应、衰减效应、不相干效应及衰减后地震波叠加效应影响,且最终的响应值由衰减后地震波的叠加效应与衰减效应的共同作用决定;500 m/s多点激励下衰减后的地震波叠加加强效应与衰减效应共同作用后,对主塔轴力响应、主塔塔底顺桥向剪力响应、左塔上横梁处剪力和弯矩响应的加强效果最大;各波速多点激励下,主塔顶顺桥向位移响应相对变化率均大于零且几乎保持不变,主梁两端顺桥向位移响应相对变化率在1 000 m/s波速取得最大值,主梁竖向位移响应在500 m/s取得最大值并随波速的增加逐渐接近一致激励情况。     

复杂场地条件下地震动空间效应研究

产生地震动空间效应的主要原因是地质构造的变化会极大地改变复杂场地条件下到达不同观测点的地震波,因此地震波振幅和相位发生明显变化。本文利用有限元和边界元耦合的方法,通过建立雷克子波入射时的非线性响应模型求解复杂场地条件下的波动积分方程,进行复杂近地表构造中地震波场数值模拟,旨在分析复杂场地条件下入射方向不同的地震波的动力响应规律。研究结果显示近地表会极大地改变地震波传播特征,导致地震波传播趋向不一致性的因素是由于复杂场地条件重建了地震波的传播路径,尤其须指出的是非一致性地表位移响应源于软土层中低频子波的传播。在地震响应分析中导致系统不同动力响应的其他原因是主频和地震波速度结构的改变,同时地震波入射角度的改变会引起到达观测点的时间滞后,地表位移响应随着入射角度的增大而增加,地震动的空间效应随着入射角度的减小而愈趋明显。     

梁式拱上建筑地震响应中拱圈的弹性滤波效应

以某钢筋混凝土拱桥为研究对象,采用有限元软件SAP2000进行弹塑性时程分析来研究主拱圈的弹性滤波。通过提取拱上建筑桥墩基底的加速度时程响应并进行功率谱变换,分析主拱圈弹性滤波后桥墩基底的加速度能量分布特征;通过与地震波自身功率谱对比,评价主拱圈对拱上建筑的滤波效应;再分别从加速度、位移等角度分析了梁式拱上建筑和相同形式的梁桥的地震响应的区别,讨论主拱圈对拱上建筑的"弹性滤波"的影响。研究发现:拱圈的弹性滤波削减了输入到拱上建筑中地震动的高频的振动能量,放大了低频段内的能量,拱圈的刚度越小,其滤波作用越显著。滤波作用对拱顶附近拱上建筑的影响远大于拱脚,弹性滤波使桥墩更易进入塑性阶段,桥墩顶部位移和加速度、支座位移以及梁体位移均大于相同结构的连续梁。     

多维多点激励下考虑支座摩擦滑移及结构碰撞的非规则桥梁抗震性能研究

以一座典型山区非规则梁桥为研究对象,建立了该桥梁多维多点激励下的多自由度动力计算模型,研究了该桥梁在多维多点激励下考虑支座摩擦滑移及结构碰撞等非线性因素时的抗震性能。研究结果表明:相比一维地震输入,多维地震可使结构的动力响应增加,桥墩底部弯矩需求增大;相比一致激励,多点激励可使得支座的位移需求增大,且地震波最后到达的桥墩上方支座位移最大;同时考虑多点激励和碰撞效应可使桥墩的弯矩需求增加;水平地震作用下,矮墩上部的支座容易滑动,且双向地震较单向地震更明显,三向地震输入较双向有所增强。因此,对山区非规则梁桥进行抗震设计时应有针对性地进行多维多点地震输入计算,找出结构的最大地震需求,以期指导设计。     

双向地震波输入时振动方向对拱坝地震响应的影响

拱坝-地基三维地震响应分析中大多只分析入射地震波在拱坝-地基系统坐标系方向输入时的地震响应,而事实上,垂直入射的剪切波其振动方向是不确定的,地震波动的合理输入对拱坝-地基系统的地震响应分析起着决定性的作用.本文研究了拱坝-地基系统在双向地震波输入时不同振动方向对拱坝-地基系统地震响应的影响.计算结果表明:在双向地震波输入情形时,拱坝位移及应力响应最大值均不是发生在传统方法的横河向或者顺河向,而是与输入地震波相关,所以在研究拱坝-地基三维地震响应时有必要考虑入射地震波振动方向的影响.     

基础提离及桥墩弹塑性对结构地震反应影响的研究

浅平基桥墩在承受强震作用时其基础与地基之间会发生提离,地基土会进入塑性状态。同时,当结构遭遇设防烈度地震或罕遇地震时,结构往往处于非线性状态,这都会导致桥梁的严重破坏。本文以兰州小西湖黄河大桥为工程背景,采用场地超越概率为10%人工地震波,研究了在弹塑性Winkler地基上同时考虑桥墩塑性时的结构地震反应。通过非线性时程反应分析得到:考虑地基和桥墩的非线性使得桥墩墩顶的位移增大,墩底弯矩减小,这对保护桥墩是有利的;同时得到,小西湖黄河大桥当遭遇罕遇地震(大震)时桥墩已进入屈服,但其屈服曲率不到破坏曲率的1/2,该桥能够满足“小震不坏、中震可修、大震不倒”的设计目标。     

Quantification of the amplitude variability of the ground motion in Argostoli,Greece. Variability of linear and non-linear structural response of a single degree of freedom system.

The term “spatial variability of seismic ground motions” denotes the differences in the amplitude and phase content of seismic motions. The effect of such spatial variability on the structural response is still an open issue. In-situ experiments may be helpful in order to answer the questions regarding both the quantification of the spatial variability of the ground motion within the dimensions of a structure as well as the effect on its dynamic response. The goal of the present study is to quantify the variability of the seismic ground motion accelerations in the shallow sedimentary basin of Argostoli, Greece, and thereafter to identify its effect on the linear and non-linear elasto-plastic response of a single degree of freedom system in terms of spectral displacements. Around 400 earthquakes are used, recorded by the 21-element very dense seismological array deployed in Argostoli with inter-station spacing ranging from 5 to 160 meters. The seismic motion variability, evaluated in terms of spectral accelerations, is found to be significant and to increase with inter-station distance and frequency. Thereafter, the amplitude variability in terms of spectral displacements, which is indeed the linear response of a single degree of freedom (SDOF) system with various fundamental periods, is compared with the amplitude variability of a SDOF with non-linear elasto-plastic response. The variability of the maximum top displacement of the linear single degree of freedom system is estimated to be on average 12% with larger variabilities to be observed within two narrow frequency ranges (between 1.5 and 1.7 Hz and between 3 and 4 Hz). Such high variabilities are caused by locally edge-generated diffracted surface waves. The non-linear perfectly elasto-platic structural response of the SDOF system shows that although the variability has the same trends as in the case of linear response, it is almost constantly increased by 5%.     

Numerical analysis of one-dimensional nonlinear acoustic wave

Numerical investigations on one-dimensional nonlinear acoustic wave with third and fourth order nonlinearities are presented using high-order finite-difference (HFD) operators with a simple flux-limiter (SFL) algorithm. As shown by our numerical tests, the HFDSFL method is able to produce more stable, accurate and conservative solutions to the nonlinear acoustic waves than those computed by finite-difference combined with the flux-corrected-transport algorithm. Unlike the linear acoustic waves, the nonlinear acoustic waves have variable phase velocity and waveform both in time-space (t-x) domain and frequency-wavenumber (f-k) domain; of our special interest is the behaviour during the propagation of nonlinear acoustic waves: the waveforms are strongly linked to the type of medium nonlinearities, generation of harmonics, frequency and wavenumber peak shifts. In seismic sense, these characteristics of nonlinear wave will introduce new issues during such seismic processing as Normal Moveout and f-k filter. Moreover, as shown by our numerical experiment for a four-layer model, the nonlinearities of media will introduce extra velocity errors in seismic velocity inversion.     

Probabilistic seismic response assessment of linear systems equipped with nonlinear viscous dampers

The paper aims at evaluating the influence of damper properties on the probabilistic seismic response of structural systems equipped with nonlinear viscous dampers. For this purpose, a linear single‐degree‐of‐freedom system with an added linear or nonlinear viscous damper is considered, and the response statistics are evaluated for a set of natural records describing the ground motion uncertainty. A dimensional analysis of the seismic problem is carried out first to identify the minimum set of characteristic parameters describing the system and controlling the seismic response. An extensive parametric study is then performed to estimate the influence of the damper properties on the statistics of the main response quantities of interest (i.e. maximum displacements, accelerations and damper forces), for a wide range of values of the characteristic parameters. Finally, a set of case studies is investigated to show some interesting issues concerning the influence of the damper nonlinear behaviour on the evaluation of the system reliability and to highlight some limitations of current deterministic approaches neglecting the probabilistic properties of the response.

Shake table testing on restoring capability of double concave friction pendulum seismic isolation systems

After an earthquake, non‐negligible residual displacements may affect the serviceability of a base isolated structure, if the isolation system does not possess a good restoring capability. The permanent offset does not affect the performance unless the design is problematic for utilities, also considering possible concerns related to the maintenance of the devices. Starting from experimental and analytical results of previous studies, the restoring capability of Double Concave Friction Pendulum bearings is investigated in this paper. A simplified design suggestion for the estimation of maximum expected residual displacements for currently used friction pendulum systems is then validated. The study is based on controlled‐displacement and seismic input experiments, both performed under unidirectional motion. Several shaking table tests have been carried out on a three‐dimensional isolated specimen structure. The same sequence of seismic inputs was applied considering three different conditions of sliding surfaces corresponding to low, medium and high friction. The accumulation of residual displacements is also investigated by means of nonlinear dynamic analysis. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Simulation of the Seismic Response of Sedimentary Basins with Vertical Constant-Gradient Velocity for Incident <Emphasis Type="Italic">SH</Emphasis> Waves

The simulation of the seismic response of heterogeneous sedimentary basins under incident plane waves is computed using the Indirect Boundary Element Method (IBEM). To deal with these kinds of basins we used approximate analytical expressions for the two-dimensional Greens functions of a medium with constant-gradient wave propagation velocity. On the other hand, for the homogeneous half space underlying the sedimentary basin, the full space Greens functions were used. The response of semi-circular heterogeneous basins under incident SH waves is explored by means of the displacements in the frequency-space diagrams and synthetic seismograms. Moreover, we compared these results with those obtained for other homogeneous semi-circular models. The principal differences among them are pointed out. This simulation provided interesting results that displayed a complex amplification pattern in a rich spectrum of frequencies and locations. The maximum amplitudes levels were found around the edges of the heterogeneous sedimentary basins. In time domain some features characterize the seismic response of the basin which include enhanced generation and trapping of surface waves inside the sediments, and the reduced emission of seismic energy to the hard rock. In the heterogeneous models the lateral reflections of surface waves greatly influence the total displacements at the free surface in comparison with the homogeneous models where the displacements have a shared influence among both vertical and lateral reflections.     

Seismic behavior of single‐story asymmetric‐plan buildings under uniaxial excitation

The critical parameters that influence the nonlinear seismic response of asymmetric‐plan buildings are identified by evaluating the effects of different asymmetries that may characterize the structure of a building as well as exploring the influence of the ground motion features. First, the main findings reported in the literature on both the linear and nonlinear dynamic response of asymmetric‐plan buildings are presented. The common findings and the conflicting conclusions reached in different investigations are pointed out. Then, the results of comprehensive nonlinear dynamic analyses performed for evaluating the seismic response of systems characterized by different strength and stiffness configurations, representative of a large class of asymmetric‐plan buildings, are reported. Findings from the study indicate that the building response changes when moving from the linear to the nonlinear range, so that the seismic behavior of asymmetric‐plan buildings, apart from the source of asymmetry, can be always classified as irregular. Additionally, it was observed that as the seismic demands cause amplification of system nonlinearity with increasing earthquake intensity, the maximum displacement demand in the different resisting elements tends to be reached with the same deformed configuration of the system. The resultant of the seismic forces producing such a maximum demand is located at the center of resistance and corresponds to the collapse mechanism of the system that provides the maximum lateral strength in the exciting direction of the seismic action.

2011年日本Mw9.0地震引起的环渤海地区井水温度变化分析

2011年3月11日的日本M_w9.0地震在中国引起了大范围的井水温度同震变化,而水温震后持续变化的井孔多数分布在井网密度较大、距震中较近的环渤海地区。本文分析了环渤海地区水温震后变化的特征和机理。结果表明,水温震后变化形态为上升,变幅0. 005~0.976°C,空间分布在同震位移较大、张性应变较明显和地震能量密度较大的区域;依据同井水位资料,一些井孔的水温和水位震后变化特征较一致,其水温震后升高可能是地震波增大含水层渗透性的结果;另一些井孔的水位震后变化不显著,其水温震后升高可能与地震波增大井区大地热流有关。     

Scattering of obliquely incident seismic waves by a cylindrical valley in a layered half-space

Three-dimensional scattering of seismic waves by a cylindrical alluvial valley embedded in a layered half-space is investigated by using the combination of the boundary integral representation and the finite element method. The surface displacements due to incident plane harmonic body waves (P, SV and SH) propagating at an arbitrary angle to the axis of the cylindrical valley are evaluated numerically for two semi-elliptical alluvial valleys. The presence of the layer is found to have a strong effect on the amplification of the surface displacements in some cases. The three-dimensional motion seems to be quite critical and may cause large amplification. The surface ground motion becomes significant when compared with corresponding free-field motion as the wavelengths become comparable to the characteristic length of the valley. The maximum amplification always occurs atop the valley. Numerical results show that the amplitude and the amplification pattern of the surface displacement strongly depend upon the frequency, the angle and the type of the incident waves.     

地震波类型对砂土震陷影响的数值模拟分析

地震波是一种随机的、不规则作用的动荷载脉冲,可分为振动型和冲击型。不同类型的地震波会对砂土液化和变形等产生重要影响,而传统的砂土震陷计算方法往往忽视这种因素,只考虑最大加速度幅值。通过编写UMAT子程序,在非线性有限元软件ABAQUS中开发亚塑性砂土边界面模型,对不同地震波类型下不同相对密度的砂土进行动单剪试验模拟,得到一系列砂土剪应变及竖向应变的时程曲线,并与室内试验结果进行对比分析。研究表明:在同一工况下,同类型的地震波引起的砂土竖向应变相近,不同类型引起的竖向应变差异明显;振动型地震波比冲击型引起的竖向应变更大。     

地震SV波斜入射下沉管隧道的地震响应分析

在ABAQUS黏弹性人工边界时域波动方法的基础上,首先运用等效应力输入方法实现地震SV波倾斜入射,半空间算例验证该方法具有较好的计算精度,进而基于所建立的斜入射方法研究地震波斜入射对海河沉管隧道地震响应的影响。计算结果表明:SV波斜入射情况下,沉管隧道的地震响应规律与垂直入射时具有明显差异;随入射角增加,沉管隧道结构应力增大,应力较大点出现在沉管隧道的四个角点及隔墙与底板、顶板的连接处,其中中隔墙为最薄弱点;随入射角增加,侧墙和隔墙的相对最大水平位移增大,其中中隔墙位移最大;随入射角增加,沉管隧道结构竖向加速度峰值明显增大。因此在沉管隧道结构抗震设计中应考虑地震波斜入射的影响。
