强震下拱式体系桥梁震害特征及抗震研究

以汶川地震中拱式体系桥梁震害为主线,总结主拱圈、横向连接系和其它附属构件及减隔震设计拱桥的破坏情况,对国内外拱桥的震害特征及原因进行了剖析。以目前应用数量占优的钢管混凝土肋拱桥为具体背景,对拱式体系桥梁的抗震理论、抗震试验和减隔震设计进行了评述。分析认为拱式体系桥梁竖向和纵桥向抗震存在一定的安全储备,但横桥向存在明显的抗震薄弱环节。针对钢管混凝土肋拱桥横桥向振动及倒塌特点,就目前在拱式体系桥梁中引入防屈曲支撑代替横撑以形成耗能减震结构提出了建议及具体可行设计方式。     

孤岛工作面动力灾害预防控制方法研究

为研究孤岛工作面安全开采方法,理论分析其动力灾害多发的岩层运动及应力条件,并提出其安全开采的准则。认为只要合理设计开采参数,就可以避免孤岛工作面动力灾害的发生。分析表明:孤岛工作面长度大于相邻工作面支承压力影响范围之和时,孤岛工作面支承压力无法叠加,工作面较安全;相邻工作面长度大于关键层断裂步距时,覆岩关键层可充分塌垮,孤岛工作面无动压冲击危险;在稳定的内应力场开掘回采巷道时,回采巷道无冲击危险。     

梁的约束对液化场地桥台震害模式的影响分析

为深入研究液化场地梁的约束对桥台震害模式的影响,首先在对唐山地震中胜利桥震害调查的基础上,采用有限元软件UWLC对该桥震害进行数值模拟分析,并将数值模拟结果与实际震害结果进行对比验证。研究结果表明:数值模拟结果与实际震害结果基本一致,说明采用UWLC软件进行震害数值模拟分析是可行的。然后对有、无桩基条件下梁的约束力和液化层厚度对桥台震害模式的影响分别进行数值模拟分析。研究结果表明:在地震作用下,桥梁发生落梁破坏后会导致桥台的滑移破坏更为严重。与无桩基的重力式桥台不同,桩基桥台的震害模式均表现为前倾式破坏,这主要是因为桩基础限制了桥台底部的水平移动。梁的约束力对桩基桥台震后残余位移的影响程度要明显小于无桩基桥台。对于重力式桥台,液化砂层对地震波的中高频段有一定滤波作用,反映出液化层的减震作用;而对于桩基桥台,由于桩-土-台身的相互作用,液化砂层的减震效果不明显。     

Characterization of the dynamic behavior of a concrete arch dam by means of forced vibration tests and numerical models

The characterization of the dynamic behavior of an arch dam, and its evolution throughout the structure's lifetime, provides important data for the safety control process. Forced vibration tests remain a reliable technique for this purpose. The Baixo Sabor dam is a 123 m high arch dam recently built in Portugal. Forced vibration tests were performed before and after the reservoir filling. Two techniques for forced vibration test are compared, discrete frequency scanning, the standard methodology, and continuous frequency scanning (sine sweep), a new proposed methodology, which allowed faster results without loss of precision. For the interpretation of test results two numerical models of the dam-reservoir-foundation system were built, and calibrated with the experimental data. A good match of numerical and experimental results was obtained for the six lowest frequencies and corresponding mode shapes.     

Dynamics and seismic performance of rocking bridges accounting for the abutment-backfill contribution

The present study explores analytically the concept of rocking isolation in bridges considering for the first time the influence of the abutment-backfill system. The dynamic response of rocking bridges with free-standing piers of same height and same section is examined assuming negligible deformation for the substructure and the superstructure. New relationships for the prediction of the bridge rocking motion are derived, including the equation of motion and the restitution coefficient at each impact at the rocking interfaces. The bridge structure is found to be susceptible to a failure mode related to the failure of the abutment-backfill system, which can occur prior to the well-known overturning of the rocking piers. Thus, a new failure spectrum is proposed called Failure Minimum Acceleration Spectrum (FMAS) which extends the overturning spectrum put forward in previous studies, and it differs in principle from the latter. The comparison with the dynamic response of bridges modelled as rocking frames without abutments reveals not only that seat-type abutments and their backfill have a generally beneficial effect on the seismic performance of rocking pier bridges by suppressing the free rocking motion of the frame system, but also that the simple frame model cannot capture all salient features of the rocking bridge response as it misses potential failure modes, overestimating the rocking bridge's safety when these modes are critical.     

A method for coupled arch dam‐foundation‐reservoir seismic behaviour analysis

This paper presents a method for coupled arch dam–foundation–reservoir seismic behaviour analysis. The dam is discretized by finite elements (FE) and the foundation and reservoir are discretized by boundary elements (BE). The opening of contraction joints and the spatial variability of the seismic action is taken into account. The study of Pacoima dam by this method is also presented. The computed results show that no cracks were to be expected due to the vibrations induced during the Feb. 9, 1971 San Fernando earthquake. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

深基坑挡土桩土拱效应特征分析

土拱效应是挡土桩工作原理的基础。采用有限元法首先研究了一个真正土拱的受力特征，以此为基础，分析了深基坑挡土桩后土体的受力状态；指出挡土桩后的土体可以分为3个区域：拱底应力区、土拱区和拱顶均匀应力区。在拱底应力区，最大主应力为拉应力；在土拱应力区，其受力特征与真正的土拱相同。给出了这3个区域的分界线特征，并讨论了荷载及挡土桩净距等因素对土拱区形状的影响。     

大跨度钢管混凝土拱桥在多维多点地震激励作用下的平稳随机响应

采用虚拟激励法计算了大跨度钢管混凝土拱桥在纵向、竖向、横向、三维多点激励作用下的均方响应，在此基础上探讨了各方向激励及三维激励的多点输入效应对钢管混凝土拱桥地震响应特性的影响。结果表明纵向和竖向激励的多点输入效应对结构响应有明显影响，而横向激励的多点输入效应可忽略。     

Failure of masonry arches under impulse base motion

Recent seismic events have caused damage or collapse of invaluable historical buildings, further proving the vulnerability of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures to earthquakes. This study aims to understand failure of masonry arches—typical components of URM historic structures—subjected to horizontal ground acceleration impulses. An analytical model is developed to describe the dynamic behaviour of the arch and is used to predict the combinations of impulse magnitudes and durations which lead to its collapse. The model considers impact of the rigid blocks through several cycles of motion, illustrating that failure can occur at lower ground accelerations than previously believed. The resulting failure domains are of potential use for design and assessment purposes. Predictions of the analytical model are compared with results of numerical modelling by the distinct element method, and the good agreement between results validates the analytical model and at the same time confirms the potential of the distinct element framework as a method of evaluating complex URM structures under dynamic loading.

岩土材料塑性损伤模型及拱坝的变形局部化分析

常规的弹塑性模型难以模拟材料破坏时由于内部损伤累积引起的变形局部化带形成过程。将岩土材料抽象为含有孔洞的球形体胞单元的集合体,采用一个标量--孔洞体积百分比来刻划单元的损伤程度,基于细观损伤力学提出了一个适用于岩土材料的塑性损伤模型。将该模型通过用户子程序嵌入到大型有限元商业软件MRAC中,研究岩土材料的局部化剪切带形成过程。采用该模型,成功地对平面应力条件下岩土材料单轴受压和单轴受拉试件的局部化破坏分别进行了数值模拟。采用该模型,对拱坝在超水载作用下的变形局部化进行了研究,数值计算结果表明,上游坝踵处最先发生变形局部化现象。
