The objective of this paper is to optimize the selection of seismic ground motion intensity indexes in the seismic fortification of urban shallow-buried rectangular tunnels. This paper takes a shallow-buried rectangular tunnel in a city as the research object, uses ABAQUS to establish a finite-infinite element coupling model, and selects 70 typical seismic ground motions for dynamic calculation. Using dynamic time history analysis method to study the seismic response of tunnel lining structure in terms of internal force, minimum safety factor and strain energy, and analyze their correlation with 15 seismic ground motion parameters. Selecting the seismic ground motion parameters with strong correlation, good effectiveness, and high credibility for safety evaluation. The research results show that: Peak acceleration (PGA) has a weak correlation with the seismic response of tunnel lining structures, and PGA as an independent seismic ground motion intensity index has greater uncertainty in the seismic fortification of tunnels; Peak displacement (PGD), Root-mean-square velocity (RMSV), Root-mean-square displacement (RMSD), and Specific energy density (SED) can be used as independent seismic ground motion intensity index, The linear regression model is used to evaluate the safety of the lining structure, and finally the evaluation result is verified by the incremental dynamic analysis method (IDA), which shows that the evaluation result is accurate. The research results can provide reference for the preliminary design of seismic fortification of rectangular shallow tunnels.

Abstract. In the complex medium system of sea area, the overlying sea water and the surface soft soil have a significant impact on the seafloor ground motion, which brings great seismic risk to the safety of offshore engineering structures. In this paper, four sets of typical free field models are constructed and established, which are land model, land model with surface soft soil, sea model and sea model with surface soft soil. The dynamic finite difference method is used to carry out two-dimensional seismic response analysis of typical free field based on the input forms about P and SV wave. By comparing the seismic response analysis results of four groups of calculation models, the effects of overlying seawater and soft soil on peak acceleration and acceleration response spectrum are studied. The results show that when SV wave is input, the peak acceleration and response spectrum of the surface of soft soil on the surface and the seabed surface can be amplified, while the overlying sea water can significantly reduce the ground motion. When P wave is used, the effect of overlying seawater and soft soil on peak acceleration and response spectrum of surface and seabed can be ignored. The peak acceleration decreases first and then increases from the bottom to the surface, and the difference of peak acceleration calculated by four free field models is not obvious. The results show that the overlying sea water and the surface soft soil layer have little effect on the peak acceleration of ground motion below the surface.

Abstract. In the complex medium system of the sea area, the overlying seawater and the surface soft soil have a significant impact on the seafloor ground motion, which brings great seismic risk to the safety of offshore-engineering structures. In this paper, four sets of typical free-field models are constructed and established, comprising a land model, land model with surface soft soil, sea model and sea model with surface soft soil. The dynamic finite-difference method is used to carry out two-dimensional seismic response analysis of a typical free field based on the input forms of P and SV waves. By comparing the seismic response analysis results of four groups of calculation models, the effects of overlying seawater and soft soil on the peak acceleration and acceleration response spectrum are studied. The results show that when an SV wave is input, the peak acceleration and response spectrum of the surface of soft soil on the surface and the seabed surface can be amplified, while the overlying seawater can significantly reduce the ground motion. When the P wave is used, the effect of overlying seawater and soft soil on the peak acceleration and response spectrum of the surface and seabed can be ignored. The peak acceleration decreases first and then increases from the bottom to the surface, and the difference of peak acceleration calculated by four free-field models is not obvious. The results show that the overlying seawater and the surface soft soil layer have little effect on the peak acceleration of ground motion below the surface.

In this paper, according to the characteristics of near-fault earthquakes, combined with the strong ground motion attenuation law in China, the nonstationary power spectrum of bidirectional ground motion input is obtained through random vibration analysis. By introducing the pseudo excitation algorithm, the evolutionary power spectral density (PSD) of acceleration at the engineering bedrock is handled as the nonstationary pseudo input, and the Hardin-Drnevich hyperbolic model is utilized to take into account the nonlinearity of soil layer. On this basis, finite element method in the time domain and frequency domain are used for seismic response analysis of soil profile. Values including various time-varying power spectral density of the dynamic response, time varying RMS and time-dependent reliability at different threshold can be obtained by calculating, which provides a basis for the analysis of the foundation dynamic reliability assessment.

Result of seismic response analysis of a large span cable based bridge with inconsistent inputs is presented in a conjugated paper and is further deal with in this paper. The results from synthesized motions for the same earthquake source and same distance to the rupture show a large difference. They are compared with characteristics of the inputs in this paper. The effect of the motion amplitudes and the coherency between the input motions at the two ends of the main girder on the maximum response displacements and internal forces are pointed out.
