Laminar Shear

In order to evaluate the effects of soil box boundary conditions on the dynamic soil behavior, the Rigid Box (RB) and the Laminar Shear box (LSB) were constructed and 1 g shaking table tests were carried out for various boundary conditions. The boundary effects of the RB and the LSB were compared. To reduce the boundary effects of the RB, sponges, 5 cm, 10 cm, and 15 cm in thickness, were attached to the two end sides of the RB. A model soil was constructed on flat ground, and the acceleration and amplification occurring in the center of the soil were analyzed by spectrum and peak ground acceleration. Compared with the RB, the center and wall accelerations of LSB were very close to each other. This implies that the LSB can better simulate the behavior of the infinite half space than the RB.

Shaking table test is an important method to study on the problem of the soil-structure dynamic interaction. The property of the soil container directly affects the accuracy of the result. A laminar shear container was designed for shaking table test. And a shaking table test on soil-underground structure dynamic interaction which structure lay in clay was conducted. The results of the test show that the container eliminated the boundary effect when the dynamic load was applied in only one horizontal direction. Meanwhile, the stiffness of the soil container could be changed according to the change of the model soil, which is applicable to decrease the boundary effect.

Flat Ground

In order to verify the reliability of numerical analysis, a series of 1 g shaking table tests for flat ground and slope were conducted using a laminar shear box subjected to different seismic waves. Firstly, numerical analyses, using the DEEPSOIL and ABAQUS software, were done to compare the results of flat ground experiments. After that, finite element analyses with ABAQUS were conducted to compare the results of slope experiments. For numerical analyses, considering the influence of the boundary, the concept of adjusted elastic modulus was proposed to improve the simulation results. Based on the analyses, it is found that in terms of acceleration-time history and spectral acceleration, the numerical analysis results are in good agreement with the experiment results. This implies that numerical analysis can capture the dynamic behavior of soil under 1 g shaking table test conditions.

Dynamic Magnification Factor

The roof model of the palace timber buildings was established according to the construction technology of the Ying-tsao fa-shih. Based on its analysis of dynamic behavior with shaking table test and ANSYS finite element software, the dynamic behavior of structure and its maximal response under different conditions were gotten, and also the dynamic magnification factor of the beams layer and the whole structure were gotten, at last the results got by shaking table test was compared with the numerical simulation. Research shows that the nature frequency of the model is 1.486 Hz which is much bigger than that of the whole structure; the maximal displacement of beam layer gradually increases with the increase of ground motion intensity and the height of structure; the vibration isolation performance of semi-rigid tenon-mortise joints in rare earthquake (400gal) is better than that in moderate earthquake (220gal) and frequent earthquake (110gal); the dynamic magnification factor between layers was about 1, and roof 0.9 or so.

Bottom-business multi-story masonry structure is widely used in small and middle towns in the southward in China. In the downtown of Beichuan county which affected by Wenchuan earthquake, more than 80% of this kind of building collapsed. But the Apartment of Beichuan Telecommunication Bureau behaved well earthquake resistant capacity with a moderate damage in the earthquake. The obvious difference between this building and others is the setting of winged columns in the front longitudinal wall of the first floor. For proving the influence of these members in the structure seismic capacity, the earthquake simulation shaking table test of 2 1/5 reduced scale models were designed and carried out. The models dynamic response, acceleration, displacement and strain were measured and collected, that model with winged columns behave well was testified. And the reinforcement method of balancing stiffness and increasing ductility is put forward. The results provide a foundation for the retrofitting design of the existing houses.
