从砾性土的定义出发,回顾了砾性土从被认为不会液化到其液化现象引起工程师关注的研究历程及国内外研究进展。总结了含砾量、相对密度等因素对砾性土抗液化能力影响关系的研究现状。介绍了国际上对砾性土场地液化判别的研究成果及各种主流方法的优势与不足;分析了剪切波速方法应用于砾性土场地液化判别的可行性。研究认为:砾性土的液化现象正逐渐被科学界及工程界接受;含砾量对砾性土抗液化能力的影响研究仍然存在较大矛盾,相对密度等影响砂土抗液化能力的因素同样影响砾性土抗液化能力;砂土场地应用的标准贯入、静力触探等液化判别方法不适用于砾性土场地,国际上发展了基于动力触探和贝克尔贯入试验的液化判别方法;剪切波速判别方法在砾性土场地的液化判别中具有优势和潜力,是今后研究的方向之一。     

国内外液化砂砾土土性对比分析

砂土液化问题的研究特别是砂土液化的判别目前已经取得了较大的进展,并在国内外现行的规范中充分反映,而砂砾土由于颗粒大、透水性好,普遍认为地震时孔压不至于上升至液化的程度,往往将其划分为非液化土类。通过调查汶川地震砂砾土液化情况以及勘察试验获取其土性资料,对比分析了国内外液化砂砾土的地质背景及土性特征。主要认识为：①以往国内外砂砾土液化实例虽然有限,但已经表明松散-稍密的砂砾土在一定的地震强度下仍有可能发生液化,而2008年汶川地震中的大量砂砾土液化的事实,说明笼统地将砂砾土划归为非液化土类的做法有误;②汶川地震液化砂砾土的颗粒级配范围涵盖了国内外其他地震的颗粒级配,研究汶川地震的砂砾土液化问题具有代表性和普遍性,以此建立的砂砾土液化评价方法在国际上应具有通用性。     

液化场地土-地铁车站结构大型振动台模型试验研究

本文对浅埋于可液化南京细砂地基中的地铁车站结构进行了大型振动台试验研究,对部分试验结果进行了整理,分析了模型地基的加速度和振动孔隙水压力的反应规律。试验结果表明:在整个试验过程中,模型地基浅层土和地铁车站侧向附近地基土最容易发生液化;其次,随着振动台台面输入地震动峰值加速度的增大,离车站结构较远的侧向地基土和底层地基土再发生液化,而车站结构正下方的模型地基土最不容易液化。同时,在模型地基土发生液化后,地铁车站结构发生了明显的整体上浮现象。     

黏粒含量对粉土液化后特性影响的试验研究

设计了分析粉土液化后单调荷载下剪切强度的三轴试验。对粉土施加动荷载使其发生液化后,在不排水条件下施加单调静荷载,直至土体达到强度稳定停止试验。试验结果表明,不同初始有效固结压力、初始孔隙比对液化后土体不排水剪切强度影响较大;液化后粉土表现出明显的剪胀特性,颗粒结构重组,孔压在不排水条件下逐渐消散,土体强度则逐渐增加并最终趋于某一稳定值;剪切强度与初始有效固结压力呈线性关系;孔隙比越小,其液化后剪切强度越大。     

基于累积耗损能量的饱和粉土液化特性试验研究

饱和粉土场地在强地震作用下易发生液化现象。开展饱和粉土的循环三轴试验,以循环加载的累积耗损能量为指标,探讨黏粒含量、密实度、有效围压和循环应力比等因素对粉土液化特性的影响,试验结果表明:粉土液化所需的耗损能量随黏粒含量的增加呈先减小后增大的趋势,当黏粒含量约为8%时粉土的液化耗损能量最低;液化耗损能量随粉土密实程度的增大而逐渐增加,并随初始有效围压的增长而增加,但粉土的液化耗损能量与循环应力比之间的关系不明显。     

包括震后固结沉降在内的多层结构物基础抗震性分析

以一多层框架结构停车场的地基基础为研究对象,分析其在将来可能发生大地震中的动力特性。除地基可能出现的液化,还包括地震中的瞬时沉降及地震后地基长期固结沉降,尤其是不均匀沉降。采用水土耦合2维有限元分析法,对研究领域的地基基础及上部结构进行整体建模。计算中采用的地震波为一三连动人工地震波,最大加速度为182gal,主震持续150s。为比较不同的基础形式对地基液化和沉降的影响,对采用长桩和密集型短柱两种基础形式做分析比较。有限元计算中,采用能反映其地层土交变移动特性的弹塑性本构模型来描述土的动力学特性,桩基础和上部框架结构采用梁单元模型,密集型短柱基础采用弹性单元模型。结果表明,除地震中地基的液化,震后随着超孔隙水压的消散,地基基础长期不均匀沉降也是不可忽略的重要问题。     

水平向不均匀土对箱基动力阻抗的影响

采用薄层元素法和有限单元法,建立了地基-箱形基础动力相互作用的三维分析模型,该模型可考虑箱形基础周围土的不均匀性影响.利用该模型,分析了水平方向不均匀土对箱形基础的水平和摇摆阻抗的影响.分析了水平方向不均匀土的厚度、剪切弹性模量以及材料阻尼比的影响.分析结果表明:水平方向不均匀土使得箱形基础的各种阻抗均降低,特别是阻抗的虚部.水平方向不均匀土对摇摆阻抗的影响较大.水平方向不均匀土的剪切弹性模量的影响较大而其材料阻尼的影响较小.随着水平方向不均匀土的厚度的增加和基础埋深的增加,其影响增大.     

粉粒含量对粉土场地液化后变形影响的试验研究

利用全自动多功能三轴仪进行了粉土场地的液化后变形试验,探讨了粉粒含量对液化后应力应变关系的影响.试验时施加动加载使试样达到设定的液化程度,然后立即施加单调荷载,以模拟地震现场发生强震时初始液化到液化后变形的整个过程.研究发现,不同粉粒含量粉土场地发生液化后变形得到的液化后应力应变关系可采用推导的同一理论关系式表示,其系数的差异表明了粉粒含量对粉土液化后变形的影响.验证结果表明该关系式能较好地模拟粉粒含量对粉土场地液化后应力-应变的影响,为同一地区或相似地区粉粒含量变化的粉土场地液化评估提供依据.     

汶川地震砂砾土液化现象及现场确认实验

通过汶川8.0级地震中不同地区、不同烈度的4个典型液化场地宏观现象分析以及现场测试,确认了汶川地震天然砂砾土液化的真实性并初步研究了其特征。结果表明汶川地震中砂砾土液化是真实存在的,4个场地均为砂砾土液化。地表喷出物与实际液化土类差异显著,而上覆非液化层厚度是影响地表是否可能喷出砾石的主要因素。重型动力触探击数是值得推荐的砂砾土液化判别的指标,若采用剪切波速指标则需要将砂砾土进行分类处理,需考虑含砾量、平均粒径等指标的影响。     

江油火车站典型液化震害分析

2008年5月12日我国四川省发生的8.0级汶川大地震中,江油火车站外表看似完好,但地基沉降、墙体开裂严重,最终不得不废弃,而周围其他建筑物破坏较轻,具有典型研究价值。通过对江油火车站进行钻孔以及现场剪切波速测试,查明了火车站破坏主因、液化主要土类,并对现有液化判别方法进行了检验。结果表明:(1)江油火车站结构振动破坏相对较轻,主要为液化导致地基沉降而最终废弃;(2)江油火车站候车室地表喷出物为粉砂,但实际液化土与喷出物差别显著,主要为砂砾土液化;(3)现有液化判别方法主要基于砂土液化资料,不适用于砂砾土的液化评价,需要研究和发展新的砂砾土液化判别方法。     

Centrifuge model tests on liquefaction-induced settlement and pore water migration in non-homogeneous soil deposits

This paper presents the results of dynamic centrifuge model tests conducted to investigate the liquefaction mechanism in non-homogeneous soil deposits. Four types of model tests were conducted: one model test involved a uniform soil deposit; one involved continuous layered soil deposit; and two involved discontinuous layered soil deposits. Non-homogeneity in the tests was incorporated by including periodically distributed discontinuous silty sand patches. It was found that more excess pore water pressure (EPWP) remains for a longer period of time in the discontinuous region in non-homogeneous soil deposits compared with the continuous layered and uniform soil deposits. The generation of pore water pressure ceases the supply of a new mass of water after seismic excitation; therefore the dissipation of EPWP becomes the dominant factor for settlement after seismic excitation. The rapid dissipation of EPWP through the discontinuous part in the non-homogeneous soil deposits manifests as a larger settlement in the discontinuous part, causing non-uniform settlements.     

平面P-SV波入射时非均匀饱和土 自由场地的响应

基于Biot多孔介质波动模型,研究了非均匀饱和土层对平面P-SV波入射时的动力响应.考虑饱和土地基的物理力学特性沿厚度方向连续变化,利用亥姆霍兹矢量分解原理和动力刚度法,分析了平面入射P-SV波在非均匀饱和土层中的反射和透射,并给出了基岩表面和自由表面处反射系数和透射系数的计算表达式.基于理论推导结果,数值分析了平面SV波入射下非均匀饱和土自由场地的动力响应,其中假设饱和土地基的物理力学性质沿土层深度按幂律梯度变化.数值结果表明,平面SV波入射所引起的地面位移与基岩位移之比均随土层厚度和土体的非均匀程度、波的入射角和入射频率的增加而减小,且其竖向位移比的减小更为显著,厚土层对地震波的耗散作用尤为明显.      

Liquefaction-induced deformation of earthen embankments on non-homogeneous soil deposits under sequential ground motions

Damage of embankments during earthquakes is widely attributed to the liquefaction of foundation soil. Previous studies have investigated the dynamic response of embankments by mainly considering uniform sand foundation and a single earthquake event. However, the foundation of an embankment consists of many sublayers of soil from liquefiable sand to relatively impermeable layer, and during earthquakes a mainshock may trigger numerous aftershocks within a short time which may have the potential to cause additional damage to soil structures. Accordingly, the investigation of liquefaction-induced deformation of earthen embankments on various liquefiable foundation conditions under mainshock–aftershock sequential ground motions is carried out by a series of dynamic centrifuge tests in this study. The liquefiable foundation includes uniform sand profile, continuous layered soil profile, and non-homogeneous soil profiles. Effects of various foundation conditions on embankment deformations are compared and analyzed. From the test results, it is found that the embankment resting on non-homogeneous soil deposits suffer more damage compared to the uniform sand foundation of same relative density. The test results also suggest that the sequential ground motions have a significant effect on the accumulated deformation of embankment.     

Dynamic pile-soil-pile interaction. Part I: Analysis of axial vibration

Simple methods of analysis are developed for computing the dynamic steady-state axial response of floating pile groups embedded in homogeneous and non-homogeneous soil deposits. Physically-motivated approximations are introduced to account for the interaction between two individual piles. It is found that such an interaction arises chiefly from the ‘interference’ of wave fields originating along each pile shaft and spreading outward. For homogeneous deposits the wave fronts originating at an individual pile are cylindrical and the interaction is essentially independent of pile flexibility and slenderness. For non-homogeneous deposits the wave fronts are non-cylindrical and ray-theory approximations are invoked to derive pile flexibility-dependent interaction functions. Results are presented for the dynamic stiffness and damping of several pile groups, as well as for distribution of the applied load among individual piles. For deposits with modulus proportional to depth, the agreement with the few rigorous solutions available is encouraging. A comprehensive parameter study focuses on the effects of soil inhomogeneity and pile-group configuration. It is demonstrated that the ‘dynamic group efficiency’ may far exceed unity at certain frequencies. Increasing soil inhomogeneity tends to reduce the respective resonant peaks and lead to smoother interaction functions, in qualitative agreement with field evidence.

Non-homogeneous elastic waves in soils: Notes on the vector decomposition technique

Geological media are invariably non-homogeneous, which complicates considerably the analysis of seismically induced wave propagation phenomena. Thus, closed-form solutions in the form of Green's functions are difficult to construct, but are quite valuable in their own right and often play the role of kernels in boundary integral equation formulations that are used for the solution of complex boundary-value problems of engineering importance. In this work, we examine in some detail the types of wave-like equations that result from vector decomposition of the equations of motion for the infinitely extending non-homogeneous continuum, which would be a first step for evaluating Green's functions. Specifically, an eigenvalue analysis is first performed, followed by computations using the finite difference method for a specific example involving a soil layer with quadratically varying material parameters. The aforementioned wave-like equations, defined in terms of dilatational and rotational strains, are originally coupled. Their uncoupling involves use of algebraic transformations, which are in turn valid for certain restricted categories of non-homogeneous materials. Numerical solution of these equations clearly shows attenuation patterns and phase changes that are manifested as the incoming wave disturbance is continuously scattered by non-constant material stiffness values encountered along the propagation path.     

Vertical and rocking impedances for rigid rectangular foundations on soils with bounded non-homogeneity

The vertical and rocking response of rigid rectangular foundations resting on a linear-elastic, compressible, non-homogeneous half-space soil model is studied. The non-homogeneity is described by a continuous yet bounded increase of shear modulus with depth. The mixed boundary value problem is solved by means of the semi-analytical method of the subdivision of the foundation/soil contact area whereby the influence functions for the sub-regions are determined by integration of the corresponding surface-to-surface Green's functions for the particular soil model. Impedance functions are given for representative values of the non-homogeneity parameters, the Poisson's ratio and the foundation geometry over a wide range of frequencies. Significant features associated with the soil non-homogeneity are pointed out. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

首先基于改进的一维剪切梁模型，对成层土层推导了确定自振频率、振型函数、参与系数及稳态动力响应的封闭型解析表达式，首次证明了成层土层振型函数的正交性，然后在此基础上，利用随机振动理论，研究了成层土层对地震的随机动力反应问题，关于基岩输入地震加速度的功率谱密度函数，考虑了两种形式：白噪声谱和过滤白噪声谱。数值计算结果表明：对这两种谱，土层的最大期望反应是不相同的；平稳输入与输出过高估计了土层的随机反应。     

Large scale shaking table model test and analysis on seismic response of utility tunnel in non-homogeneous soil

Underground utility tunnels are the most fundamental and reliable lifeline network in urban cities,and are widely constructed throughout the world.In urban areas,most utility tunnels usually encounter the non-homogeneity of subsoil condition due to various construction effects.Studies have shown that the damage mechanism of shallow underground structures mainly depends on the inhomogeneity of the subsoil conditions.This would become a considerable factor for the stability of the underground utility tunnel structures.However,this type of research still needs to establish the vulnerable seismic design.In this study,a series of shaking table tests were conducted on non-homogenous soils to investigate the performance of seismic interaction between utility tunnels,surrounding soils and interior pipelines.The dynamic responses measured from the test account for the boundary condition of non-homogeneous soils,the internal forces,displacement of tunnel joints,the dynamic characteristics on interior pipelines and the reasonable spring stiffness with damping in the seismically isolated gas pipeline model inside the tunnel.The vulnerability of underground utility tunnel in non-homogeneous soil zone and the mechanism of the stability of interior facilities are the main topics discussed in this paper.     

Dynamic behaviour of pile foundations in homogeneous and non-homogeneous media

A three-dimensional formulation based on Green's functions of cylindrical loads in layered semi-infinite media is employed to investigate the dynamic behaviour of piles in homogeneous and non-homogeneous half spaces. The pile-soil-pile interaction taking place in pile groups is incorporated in the model. The results presented in this paper include the dynamic stiffnesses and dampings of single piles as well as those of representative 2 × 2 and 4 × 4 square pile groups in the soil media considered in this study. In addition, the distribution of forces applied on the pile cap among the individual piles in a group is investigated.
