The pile-bucket foundation is a new kind of foundation. In this paper, the ABAQUS software was used to analyze the soil displacement field and the soil stress field surrounding of the pile-bucket foundation under the multi-cycle horizontal loading. Under the horizontal load, the active area of soil separated from the basics; the passive region takes the shape of a parabolic ring of soil wedge rotate failure surface. The maximum displacement was in the direction of horizontal load line on the surface of soil near the bucket. Horizontal and vertical soil pressure changes are concentrated under the surface of the soil near the bucket, and the maximum horizontal soil stress was in the deep soil around the bucket. There is a point of inflection between 1/3 and 1/2 of the pile into soil , and the soil pressure that upper and lower the point increased in the opposite direction. The horizontal forced resistance of the foundation mainly distributed under the bucket and 1/2 of the pile into soil .The conclusion could provide a reference basis for the analysis of bearing mechanism and destruction characters of pile-bucket foundation

Rigid Walls

The ultimate lateral resistance and the lateral deflection at working loads of rigid vertical walls and piles with a free head subjected to horizontal load and embedded in two-layered soils of sand and clay have been investigated. Part 1 deals with the behaviour of rigid walls, and the analyses are compared with the results of model wall tests in layered soils. Part 2 treats the behaviour of rigid piles, and the analyses are compared with the results of model tests on piles and pile groups in layered soils and some field case records.

Steel moment frames are designed to ensure sufficient energy absorption capacity by achieving an entire beam-hinging collapse mechanism against severe earthquakes. Therefore, the column overdesign factor is stipulated in seismic design codes in some countries. For example in Japanese seismic design code, the specified column overdesign factor is 1.5 or more for steel moment frames with square tube columns. And this paper describes seismic response by 3D analysis of steel moment frames, and presents seismic demand for the column overdesign factor to keep the damage of square tube columns below the specified limit of plastic deformation. The major parameters are column overdesign factor, horizontal load bearing capacity, shape of frames and input direction of ground motion. In order to investigate 3D behavior of frames and correlation between plastic deformation of columns and column over design factor, apparent column overdesign factor, which is defined as the ratio of full plastic moment of the column (s) to the full plastic moment of the beam (s) projected in the input direction of the ground motion, is introduced. From the earthquake response analysis, it is clarified that the profile of maximum value of cumulative plastic deformation of columns to apparent column overdesign factor, with the similar horizontal load bearing capacity, are nearly identical regardless of number of stories, floor plan, and input direction of ground motion. As a result, the required column overdesign factor to keep the damage of columns below the limit of plastic deformation is proposed under the reliability index of 2.

Abstract The paper presents an experimental dynamic analysis of the existing road bridge across the Labe river at Valy village in the Czech Republic. The observed structure is a bridge with 6 spans 23.1 m, 31.5 m, 84.0 m, 31.5 m and 23.1 m long. The horizontal load-bearing structure is a composite structure with two main steel girders and a lower reinforced concrete deck. The load-bearing structure is reinforced in the main span by the arch, this structural system is also called the Langer beam. The experiment was realized in three stages. The first one was performed in May 2020 before its opening, the second stage of the described experiment was realized in August 2020 and the third one was carried out in April 2021. The main purpose of the first stage was to determine in detail the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the whole bridge horizontal load-bearing structure also including the arch. The electrodynamic shaker, that was located on the bridge deck in the quarter of the main bridge span, was used for excitation of the bridge vibration. The measured characteristics of the natural vibration were compared with the calculated ones. Based on this comparison, the theoretical bridge model was verified. Basic objective of the second experiment stage was to verify new approach to dynamic response measurement – radar interferometry realized by two synchronized radars. The vibrations of the bridge caused by the standard road traffic and also by pedestrians were observed concurrently by both radar interferometry and classical approach realized by high sensitive piezoelectric accelerometers. The experiment was focused on the main span of the bridge only and the levels of forced vibration were observed primarily. However, the fundamental natural frequencies were also evaluated. The third stage was carried out by classical approach only. Again, the bridge vibration caused by the usual road traffic and pedestrians were measured in the main bridge span only because this section of the bridge was the most dynamically sensitive. Again, the levels of forced vibration were observed and the fundamental natural frequencies were determined. The evaluated natural frequencies from all three experiment stages were consequently compared.

AbstractThis paper aims to investigate the failure mechanism of a shallow foundation on poorly cemented sandstone and to propose an upper bound solution for the bearing capacity of the foundation. A series of laboratory material and load-bearing model tests with specimens made of artificial rock mimic undisturbed natural poorly cemented sandstone.Based on a series of load-bearing model tests, bearing behavior and progressive failure mechanisms are investigated. It was found that the bearing behavior on poorly cemented sandstone is distinct from the cases on hard rock or on soil, and exhibits both plasticity and brittle characteristics. It is noted that the bearing capacity formulas for a shallow foundation commonly used for soil or hard rock are not appropriate for the case of poorly cemented soft sandstone. Based on the observed failure mechanism, a simplified plastic collapse mechanism is proposed and an upper-bound solution on the basis of a multi-block translation mechanism is formulated. It is shown that the upper bound solution agrees well with the experimental bearing capacity as long as a proper non-associated flow rule is adopted.
