基于振动台实验的典型滑坡单元体震动滑移特征发现

针对典型滑坡滑动单元在地震过程中的滑移特征,制作了典型振动台物理模型,通过输入不同频率、峰值和持时的正弦地震波,开展了一系列的实验研究工作,得了一些比较有意义的新成果:（1）在输入地震波强度足够大时会出现瞬时沿滑带向上的滑移行为,存在向上和向下两个滑移屈服加速度;（2）在研究分析中,不可以坡底输入的地震加速度值而应以滑带处局部加速度值作为判别滑移与否和滑移量大小的计算数据;（3）滑体沿滑带产生的永久滑移总量随地震波持时增加呈阶梯波状增长;（4）不同时刻任一周期的振动滑移特征相对独立,且每一地震波周期时间内具有几乎相同的周期性滑移特征,总体滑移量是无数周期内滑移量的累加;（5）在每一地震波周期时间内,滑体向上和向下的滑移特征受控于相应向上和向下屈服加速度,其向上和向下滑移矢量和构成每一周期时间内的永久位移。     

充分考虑振动台实验滑移特征的地震滑坡基本单元体永久位移估算方法研究

充分考虑振动台实验揭示出来的基本地震滑坡单元体震动滑移特征,总结得到其永久位移的估算方法:（1）考虑地震动惯性力和重力的联合作用,计算相应向上和向下滑移的屈服加速度,以反应其可能向上和向下滑移的行为;（2）在适度简化斜坡岩土体动力学模型的基础上,考虑斜坡岩土体自振特性和滑体所在高度对地震波的放大效应,得到滑体附近的局部地震加速度;（3）考虑滑体附近局部加速度和滑移屈服加速度的控制作用,计算每一地震波的周期内滑体相对滑床所能达到的最大滑移速度（向上和向下）,进而得到相对动能;（4）考虑到滑体的动能基本耗散在滑带上,基于能量守恒原理,将相对动能除以滑带上的摩擦力,即可估算出每一周期内的永久位移;（5）将每一地震波周期内产生的永久位移相累加,即可得到总体的滑动位移。经与实验结果对比,本估算方法具有较高的精度与可靠性,虽只考虑了水平向地震动作用的影响,但对于存在竖向地震动的情况,其思路同样适用,只是需要计入竖向地震动惯性作用力的影响。     

考虑强度退化效应的堤坝抗震稳定性评价方法

考虑土的动强度随振动孔隙压力上升的衰减效应,将拟静力极限平衡分析和滑动体位移分析相结合,提出了堤坝抗震稳定性评价方法.首先,基于土工动力有限元分析,确定坝坡潜在滑动土体的平均加速度时程,进而,基于拟静力概念,采用极限平衡分析,确定坝坡的安全系数随时间的变化历程,其中当安全系数瞬时小于1时,表明坝坡在地震中处于瞬时超载状态,采用Newmark刚体滑块模型估算瞬时超载所产生的滑动位移,将各个超载阶段的滑动位移叠加,求得设计地震动作用下堤坝边坡的累积滑移量,根据这种方法所进行的数值计算与分析表明,考虑强度循环退化效应后所得到的坝坡滑移量更为合理.     

简谐振动荷载下锚杆加固岩质边坡的受力分析

基于块体动力学方法,考虑简谐振动地震波作用,根据Pseudo-static分析原理建立动力荷载下的锚杆支护边坡简化模型,采用解析方法对求得谐振作用下沿滑移面滑移的边坡破坏运动解以及锚杆内力解的表达式,在此基础上,提出可适用于抗震设计的锚杆受力解答。通过锚杆支护边坡的参数影响分析表明,地震波的频率对破坏体的滑动位移幅值有较大影响,在锚杆加固边坡设计中应避免免引起共振现象;锚杆间距对位移振动幅值影响也较大,随着间距的增大,位移幅值也增大;当锚杆间距一定时,随着坡高的增大,边坡滑动位移幅值增大幅度相较其他参数影响较小;随着边坡岩石边坡角度的增大,位移幅值也随之增大,下边坡角度从60°增大到90°时,位移幅值由7 cm增大到25 cm;上边坡坡度超过25°时,位移幅度急剧增大,在设计和施工中应当引起重视。     

考虑时程竖向加速度的Newmark滑块位移法

利用改进的Newmark滑块位移法,采用时程竖向加速度计算屈服角加速度,运用拟静力极限平衡分析和地震动力反应分析计算土工结构地震永久变形。算例计算结果表明,屈服角加速度计算采用时程竖向加速度得到的滑动位移位于竖向加速度假定恒定向上或向下之间。适当改变筑坝土石料的动力刚度,研究了滑动体位移关于动力刚度的敏感性,为土工建筑物的抗震设计提供依据。     

基于性能的组合边坡加固设计方法研究

锚索-抗滑桩组合结构是高大边坡加固的主要措施。加固设计时,传统的安全系数不能考虑地震波频谱特性的影响。为了准确的评价边坡的稳定性,开展性能设计方法的研究。基于极限分析法,推导了抗滑桩位移公式。在易损性的框架下对比了远、近场地震波的差异。结果表明：(1)将结构非线性模型引入到Newmark法可以实现抗滑力的实时更新。指数模型的评估结果更保守。(2)考虑到地震荷载存在较大的离散性,基于性能的设计方法更具合理性。易损性曲线可以用来定量分析边坡的失稳概率。(3)边坡的破坏状态与地震强度和地震动类型有关。当地震强度较低时,失效模式以轻微损坏和中等损坏为主。随地震强度增大,边坡更易发生严重破坏。近场脉冲地震具有能量大、冲击强的特点,更容易造成边坡的失稳。     

地震作用下预应力锚索加固顺层岩坡极限分析

针对地震作用下预应力锚索加固顺层岩坡典型模型,提出了一种地震作用下预应力锚索加固顺层岩坡的极限分析改进方法,该方法考虑了边坡极限状态时锚索的受力变化。基于岩体刚性假设并考虑滑移过程锚索受力变化,结合极限平衡法推导出边坡加固预应力锚索的受力变化公式;地震作用仅考虑地震波传播至滑动面时产生的透射波对边坡稳定性的影响,从功率的角度出发,结合极限分析上限法与强度折减法,考虑预应力锚索受力变化,推导出地震作用下预应力锚索加固顺层岩坡的动安全系数计算理论公式;结合算例,采用考虑与不考虑滑移过程锚索受力变化两种计算方法,分析了在不同入射波波幅、入射角度及滑动面黏聚力、内摩擦角条件下两种方法计算结果的差异。算例结果表明：考虑与不考虑滑移过程锚索受力变化计算方法,计算得出的动安全系数变化规律一致,但考虑滑移过程锚索受力变化的改进计算方法得出的动安全系数动态变化幅度明显更小,反映了锚索的抗震作用效果,可为地震作用下该类型岩坡的预应力锚索加固设计分析提供参考。     

土石坝拟静力抗震稳定性分析与坝坡地震滑移量估算

单独采用拟静力抗震稳定性安全系数,并不能准确地评价土石坝的动力稳定性, Newmark等采用刚塑体滑移量或永久变形评价土石坝地震稳定性的建议得到了逐步认同,但土石坝地震永久变形或滑移量的估算尚缺乏合理方法。为此,将土石坝地震动力响应分析和拟静力极限平衡分析相结合,提出了合理地估算坝坡上潜在滑坡体地震滑移量的数值计算方法。首先,根据土石坝地震动力响应分析,针对圆弧滑动面和非圆弧光滑渐变曲面形式滑动面,分别采用简化Bishop法及改进的简化Bishop法计算坝坡上潜在滑动体的各个时刻拟静力安全系数。随后,对其中安全系数小于1的瞬时超载阶段,通过时间积分确定潜在滑动体的滑移量。最后,结合算例并通过具体数值计算与分析探讨了竖向地震动分量、滑坡体竖向地震响应、振动孔隙水压力等各种因素对土石坝地震位移及抗震性能的影响。     

地震作用下预应力锚索边坡的稳定性分析

稳定性分析对边坡工程具有重要的意义。为探究地震对预应力锚固边坡的影响,基于预应力锚索具有安全储备的特点,分析了地震作用下边坡的分阶段模型。在传统Newmark法的基础上,采用拟动力计算,推导了顺层岩质边坡的位移、锚固力和安全系数计算公式。结合工程两个算例,探究了不同锚索模型和地震累积作用下的边坡变形规律。由结果可知,当锚索锚固力取固定值时,边坡计算位移偏大,随时间呈线性增长。当考虑锚索的安全储备时,位移增长速率随时间逐渐减小,最后趋近于定值。不同锚索模型对位移影响较大,锚索储备作用不可忽略。同时地震会对预应力锚固边坡产生永久性影响。当再次发生扰动时,其表现为临界滑动阈值的提升,位移增长率与受震经历的加速度幅值呈反指数变化。以露天矿区边坡为背景,在抗震设防标准下确定最佳支护方案。     

自适应锚索锚固岩质边坡地震动力响应分析

强震作用下常规锚索往往会因材料变形能力不足导致应力过载而被拉断,一旦锚索失效将直接危及整个锚固结构的安全。为研究自适应锚索的动力响应规律以及在自适应锚索支护下锚固边坡的动力特性,以新型抗震锚索为原型,设计自适应锚索锚固岩质边坡试验模型,并利用振动台试验系统对试验模型进行加载。试验中采用正弦波、天津波、EI波以及Taft波等4种地震波进行研究,监测锚索的应变和边坡动力响应。结果表明：锚索的轴力和地震波幅值、类型、地震激励频率等因素密切相关;锚固边坡坡面加速度及位移沿边坡高程均有不同程度的放大,相对于无锚索支护边坡,锚固边坡坡面加速度和位移峰值均有减小;自适应锚索随着预设滑移恒阻力的不同,锚索会产生不滑移、瞬间滑移、逐步滑移3种工况,对应的锚索应变时程曲线和锚固边坡动力安全系数时程具有显著不同的特征;自适应锚索滑移工况下,滑体的安全系数虽然有局部减小的阶段,但是锚固结构的安全储备较大,可适应边坡大变形和瞬态冲击荷载的作用。试验结果可为强震区路堑边坡的支护和自适应锚索抗震设计提供一定参考。     

考虑散射效应沉积河谷空间相关多点地震动模拟

提出了一种考虑地震波散射效应的沉积河谷空间相关多点地震动模拟方法。基于弹性波传播理论,采用合理功率谱、相干函数和传递函数模型,借助原型谱表示法得到沉积河谷空间相关多点地震动,并验证了方法的可行性。其中,传递函数应用动力边界元法计算,可在很宽的频带内精细模拟沉积河谷中波型转换及聚焦效应。针对常见V型河谷开展了计算模拟,结果表明,河谷地形及松软沉积层对地震波传播具有显著影响,河谷地表地震动空间差异性十分显著,一维模型难以考虑地震波的散射及聚焦效应,从而会明显低估沉积内部部分区域的地震动峰值加速度。沉积河谷中大跨结构抗震设计宜采用考虑地震波散射效应的空间相关多点地震动输入。     

地震动加速度幅值对土坡失稳后滑坡体大小及致灾范围的影响

地震滑坡的致灾范围是判断滑坡能否会对已有建构筑物造成损失、确定预警疏散范围的重要依据,因此对地震土坡破坏后的滑坡体大小和致灾范围进行研究具有重要的意义.本研究基于SPH动力分析方法,结合弹塑性本构模型和固体力学控制方程建立了地震土坡破坏的动力分析模型;通过设置振动边界粒子和自由场边界粒子,实现了地震动加速度的施加以及自...     

A Multi-Parameter Correlation for Predicting the Seismic Displacement of an Earth Dam or Embankment

Predictive displacement-based methods provide a useful index of the seismic performance of earth dams and embankments and can be used in preliminary assessments of these structures. In practice, simplified Newmark-type sliding block methods are commonly used for this purpose. Using a database of 122 previously published case histories of permanent deformations of earth dams and embankments, the performance of six simplified sliding block models was examined. The results show that all six simplified methods underpredict seismic displacement for many of the embankment and earth dam cases that were examined, sometimes by a significant amount. An empirical correlation was developed by performing linear multiple regression analysis utilizing multiple slope and ground motion input parameters. This approach is believed to more properly reflect strong ground motion characteristics than the use of a single ground motion parameter such as the peak ground acceleration, the approach that has been previously employed in other correlations of this type. After exploring numerous functional forms, the final resulting seismic displacement correlation that was proposed was determined to be a function of the critical acceleration, the critical acceleration ratio, the slope height, the peak ground acceleration, the peak ground velocity, the spectral acceleration, and the predominant period of earthquake shaking. The proposed empirical equation yields better correlation with the case history database than does other existing empirical correlations or simplified sliding block models.     

How to obtain earthquake ground motions for engineering design

The earthquake ground motions that ultimately are selected for engineering design depend chiefly on the criticality of a site or structure and the engineering analyses that are to be performed. Several key steps are necessary in this selection process: They are (1) a reconnaissance to understand the hazards and obtain preliminary earthquake ground motions; (2) decisions on the application of deterministic or probabilistic methods; (3) selection of appropriate motions for requirements in design; (4) consideration of thresholds at which motions become significant for engineering; and (5) decisions on specifying appropriate earthquake ground motions for sizes of earthquakes, distances from sources, the structures, sites, and testing to be done. This paper presents five tables that show steps for evaluating these factors and for enabling the investigator to specify earthquake ground motions appropriate for engineering design.     

Research on Nonlinear Dynamic Characteristics ofStructures Supported on Slide-Limited Friction Base Isolation System

lNTRODUCTlONBase iso1ation is regarded as a practical and economicalway to protect structures from damages subjected to earth-quake motion. Isolators implemented between the base raft ofthe structure and foundation can dissipate and absorb earth-quake energy, and reduce obviously the transmission of groundmotion to structure.

Long-period ground motion in the epicentral area of major earthquakes

In view of the potential importance of long-period ground motion in the design of large structures, near-field ground displacement is computed by the elastic dislocation theory for several earthquake fault models. The validity of such computations is confirmed by comparing the computed seismogram with the observed long-period seismogram of the 1923 Kanto earthquake. The ground motions are computed for three hypothetical earthquakes, a hypothetical Kanto earthquake, Tokai earthquake and Nemuro-Oki earthquake. The location and the nature of the faulting of these earthquakes are predicted by plate tectonics and precise earthquake mechanism studies. Major conclusions are: Tokyo may suffer, in the hypothetical Kanto earthquake, ground motions about half as large as those experienced in the 1923 Kanto earthquake; Hamamatsu, a large city on the Tokai coast, may experience in the hypothetical Tokai earthquake ground motions which are as large as, or even larger than, those experienced in the epicentral area of the 1923 Kanto earthquake; the hypothetical Nemuro-Oki earthquake may cause ground motions as large as those experienced in the 1968 Tokachi-Oki earthquake on the coastal cities in Hokkaido.     

Improved performance-based seismic coefficient for gravity-type quay walls based on centrifuge test results

Verifying the seismic performance of port structures when the force balance limit is exceeded is important for the performance-based seismic design of gravity-type quay walls. Over the last three decades, performance verification methods have been developed that consider the effects of the design earthquake motion, geotechnical conditions, and structural details on the deformation of a quay wall to accurately predict earthquake-induced damage. In this study, representative performance verification methods (i.e., simplified dynamic analysis methods extending from the Newmark sliding block method and performance-based seismic coefficients developed in Japan) were quantitatively assessed with actual cases of earthquake-damaged quay walls and the results of dynamic centrifuge tests previously conducted under various conditions (i.e., different wall heights, earthquake motions and the thickness of subsoil). The dynamic centrifuge test results suggested directions for improving the performance-based seismic coefficients of the representative methods, while their field applicability and reliability were confirmed according to the actual earthquake records.

     

A probabilistic evaluation of the size of earthquake induced slope failure for an embankment

The seismic design method for earth structures considers only the safety factor, subsidence and sliding displacement. However, the estimation of the size of slope failures is necessary to judge the remaining function of an embankment after an earthquake event. The size of slope failures due to an earthquake is investigated by considering the heterogeneity of the ground strength and was based on slope stability analysis of two case histories: the 2001 Geiyo Earthquake (Mj6.7) and 2009 Suruga Bay Earthquake (Mj6.5). As a result, we propose a method for slope failure size estimation based on the maximum slip surface. The proposed method enables a rational assessment of the functional loss of an embankment in terms of the slope failure size.     

Stochastic seismic slope stability assessment using polynomial chaos expansions combined with relevance vector machine

This paper presents probabilistic assessment of seismically-induced slope displacements considering uncertainties of seismic ground motions and soil properties.A stochastic ground motion model representing both the temporal and spectral non-stationarity of earthquake shakings and a three-dimensional rotational failure mechanism are integrated to assess Newmark-type slope displacements.A new probabilistic approach that incorporates machine learning in metamodeling technique is proposed,by combining relevance vector machine with polynomial chaos expansions(RVM-PCE).Compared with other PCE methods,the proposed RVM-PCE is shown to be more effective in estimating failure probabilities.The sensitivity and relative influence of each random input parameter to the slope displacements are discussed.Finally,the fragility curves for slope displacements are established for sitespecific soil conditions and earthquake hazard levels.The results indicate that the slope displacement is more sensitive to the intensities and strong shaking durations of seismic ground motions than the frequency contents,and a critical Arias intensity that leads to the maximum annual failure probabilities can be identified by the proposed approach.     

Comparison of near-fault and far-fault ground motion effects on geometrically nonlinear earthquake behavior of suspension bridges

This paper presents a comparison of near-fault and far-fault ground motion effects on geometrically nonlinear earthquake behavior of suspension bridges. Bo?azi?i (The First Bosporus) and Fatih Sultan Mehmet (Second Bosporus) suspension bridges built in Istanbul, Turkey, are selected as numerical examples. Both bridges have almost the same span. While Bo?azi?i Suspension Bridge has inclined hangers, Fatih Sultan Mehmet Suspension Bridge has vertical hangers. Geometric nonlinearity including P-delta effects from self-weight of the bridges is taken into account in the determination of the dynamic behavior of the suspension bridges for near-fault and far-fault ground motions. Near-fault and far-fault strong ground motion records, which have approximately identical peak ground accelerations, of 1999 Chi-Chi, 1999 Kocaeli, and 1979 Imperial Valley earthquakes are selected for the analyses. Displacements and internal forces of the bridges are determined using the finite element method including geometric nonlinearity. The displacements and internal forces obtained from the dynamic analyses of suspension bridges subjected to each fault effect are compared with each other. It is clearly seen that near-fault ground motions are more effective than far-fault ground motion on the displacements and internal forces such as bending moment, shear force and axial forces of the suspension bridges.
