Analysis of Seismic Dynamic Responses of Tunnel throughFault Zone in High Earthquake Intensity Area

Based on dynamic time history analysis, dynamic response behavior of an un supported tunnel through fault zone which was simulated by interface and solid elements was studied under uniform input earthquake wave excitation. The analyses of response behaviors, including displacement difference, acceleration magnification, and plastic zones and so on, were carried out when earthquake wave excitation was input along transverse, longitudinal and vertical of tunnel respectively. The results show that simulation method for fault zone is effective; the earthquake causes obvious displacement difference at fault zone and surrounding rock contacting part. The maximal displacement difference reaches to 51.8mm under transverse uniform input earthquake wave excitation. And the displacement difference under vertical and longitudinal is only 44.3% and 23.1% of the transverse value, respectively; the acceleration magnification in fault zone is significantly greater than that in surrounding rock. Shear failure zone appears at the fault zone and surrounding rock contacting part, and it is especially prominent under input longitudinal earthquake wave excitation. It is proposed that fault zone has significantly influence on the dynamic performance of tunnel. The fault zone and the transitional zones are the control zones of seismic design when tunnel passes through fault zone, thus, the study on the anti seismic measures should be further strengthened.

Dynamic Response Analysis of High-rise Pile Cap-soil-structure under the Wave and Earthquake Action

Finite element software was used to simulate the internal force and deformation of high-rise pile cap-soil-structure under the wave and earthquake action. Meanwhile, wave force was calculated by using Morison equation, and the mechanical behavior of structure was simulated by inputing horizontal El-Centro wave. Then, the initial state and the state of the largest positive and negative acceleration were selected to study the structure according to the time history curve, and the displacement, bending moment, shear and axial force changes of pile foundation under wave and earthquake action were discussed, which was compared and analyzed with the structural response under the action of earthquakes solely. The result shows that the moment of front row of piles is biggest, and the force of pile bolck is the most dangerous; the axial force of the corner piles is the largest, and one of the center piles is the smallest under the action of wave and earthquake. When the wave forces and seismic forces are in the same direction, the displacement, moment, and shear force of pile bolck will be increased, on the contrary, the displacement, moment, and shear force of pile bolck will be decreased.

Considering the significant influence of spatial correlation in long-span spatial structures, seismic response analyses of traveling wave excitations in cylindrical reticulated mega-structure were conducted under one-dimensional and multidimensional severe earthquake by using dynamic time-history method.

3D Dynamic Coupled Mechanical and Hydraulic Analysis of Geogrid-reinforced Pile-supported Embankments

In order to investigate the dynamic behaviors of geogrid-reinforced pile-supported embankments under traffic loading, three-dimensional coupled mechanical and hydraulic numerical simulations are conducted using FLAC 3D. Four cases are studied including unreinforced and no-pile embankments, reinforced embankments, pile-supported embankments, and geogrid-reinforced pile-supported embankments. The behaviors of vertical displacement, horizontal displacement, pile-soil stress ratio, excess pore water pressure and acceleration under four cases are analyzed. It is found that the vertical displacement, nonuniform settlement and horizontal displacement of geogrid-reinforced pile-supported embankments are smaller than those of other cases due to soil arching effect and reinforcement effect. Pile-soil stress ratio decreases with the increase of loading number. The crest value of acceleration and the time for acceleration to be steady are also smaller than those of other cases. The dissipation velocity of excess pore is quicker than that of unreinforced embankments.

Coupled Vibration of Saturated Fractional Derivative Type Viscoelastic Soil of a Circular Tunnel with Partially Sealed Shell Lining

Considering the compression of medium and fluid, coupled vibration of saturated fractional derivative type viscoelastic soil and a circular tunnel with partially sealed shell lining in the frequency domain is investigated according to theories of Biot and elastic shell. The stress and displacement constitutive behavior of the soil skeleton is described by fractional derivative model which reflects the rheological properties of the medium while regarding soil as a liquid-solid saturated porous medium. The expressions of displacement, stress and pore water pressure are obtained while the inner boundary of circular tunnel is subjected to axially symmetric radial traction and axially symmetric fluid pressure respectively by introducing a partially permeable boundary condition. With the parameter analysis, it is revealed that the order of fractional derivative model on the responses for the system subjected to the symmetric radial traction is much greater than that of the system under the axially symmetric fluid pressure. And resonance phenomenon occurs obviously. Nevertheless the system responses do not have remarkable resonance phenomenon under axially symmetric fluid pressure.

The Bowl buckle high support system is widely applied to the actual construction with its convenient construction and high bearing capacity.At present, because of the lack of erection norms and the personnel experience in construction of high support system, so the erection of the structural measures are not reasonable, the system deformation under the action of load is too large which would impact the construction quality.Using ANSYS finite element software simulate the effects of the high support system deforation which arranged in different direction scissors and fixed to the surrounding structure.The vertical and horizontal scissors are arranged to system of vertical and lateral displacement with high support effective constraint.The deformation of the high support system which fixed to the surrounding structure reduced, displacement boundary portion of the vertical rod decreased more obviously.     

Shear resistant performance of RC columns subjected to vertical near-fault velocity pulse-like earthquake actions

The aim is to evaluate the seismic properties of ancient timber structure after strengthening and analyze the failure process and corresponding failure state. Based on the hysteretic behavior and energy dissipation principle of the dovetail column-frame strengthened with CFRP and Arches Brackets under the low reversed cyclic loading, the “potential of destruction-resisting” of the two energy-consuming components is obtained. The dissipated energy of each energy-consuming component under the various earthquake conditions is calculated combining with the shaking table test of ancient timber structure. The model of seismic damage evaluation of the two energy-consuming components is established on the basis of the “potential of destruction-resisting” and the dissipated energy. By means of the energy distribution coefficient, the relationship of the failure state between energy-consuming components and overall strengthened structure is discovered, and the model of seismic damage evaluation of the overall structure under the various earthquake conditions is presented. With the derived model of seismic damage evaluation, the failure coefficient of the energy-consuming components and the overall strengthened structure is quantitatively calculated. According to the failure state, the corresponding damage grade of overall strengthened structure is obtained. The results can provide a reliable theoretical basis for predicting the destruction before earthquake and re-reinforcement to the strengthened ancient timber structures after earthquake.

Calculation of Influence on Longitudinal Deformation of Adjacent Tunnels Due to Excavation

Unloading of excavation of foundation pit has influence on adjacent tunnels, therefore it is important to predict the deformation of metro tunnels to ensure the operation of tunnel. The displacement effect due to the surrounding wall soil unloading of adjacent excavation was not considered by the theoretical analysis method, and the analysis procedure of FEM was usually too complicated to get a satisfied result, so the horizontal and vertical additional stress were calculated by the Mindlin solutions. Furthermore, the tunnel structure was considered as the beam with infinite length. The additional stress was imposed on the Winkler model and the governing equation was built up on the adjacent tunnel structure. Finally, displacements and internal forces of existing tunnels were obtained. Compared with the numerical simulation and an engineering case, the results of the presented formula are in good agreement. It can provide certain theoretical and calculation basis for metro tunnels influenced by adjacent excavation.

The 3D Goodman element is used to simulate segments' cracks in one section of shield tunnel in Guangzhou. Mechanical and deformation characteristics of segment structure responded to varied depth of cracks is analyzed in this paper. Meanwhile, research on coefficient of lateral earth pressure, soil coefficient and ground water level on mechanical and deformation characteristics is carried out. The research result shows that along with the increase of cracks' depth, the tensile stress, pressure stress reach the maximum value while the increment is not too much. However, when the depth equals to the thickness of segment, the reinforcements' tensile stress has increase sharply, even exceeded the allowable value. Moreover, the maximum number of tensile stress, horizontal and vertical convergent value of shield tunnel segment with cracks increase with the reduction of the coefficient of lateral earth pressure and soil coefficient, and increase with the increase of ground water level as well. Specific repair measure has been taken to segments' cracks in this section of shield tunnel based on the conclusions. In general, this section of shield tunnel is stable and safe now, and there is no longer new cracks appeared.     

Average Temperature Distribution of the Ceiling Jet in Train Fires in Tunnels

The flame ceiling jet is easily formed while the on fire train stops in the tunnel. The iterative formula is derived to calculate the average temperature of the flame ceiling jet when the fire source is set on the center of the train by establishing a one dimensional model of the unit control volume, and the heat exchange is considered among the flame smoke and the wall of the tunnel and the train. Undetermined coefficients in the iterative formula are determined by small scale model experiments with the scale factor of 1:8 and numerical simulation. The calculated values of temperature by the iterative formula are consistent well with the measured values, and the maximum error of calculation is no more than 7%, which indicates that the iterative formula is reliable. The results show that the distributions of the average temperature of flame ceiling jet are in the exponential form, but there are some differences between that above the train and that in the tunnel. Two prediction formulas for the flame ceiling jet average temperature changing along the longitudinal tunnel are obtained by the sub fitting method. The results can provide reference for the alarm parameter selection, device settings in tunnel, safety evacuation of the passenger, as well as the analysis of the destructive effects on the tunnel lining structure caused by tunnel fire.
