The slope shape is one of the most intuitive factors affecting the seismic stability of a slope. However, current research on this subject is mainly focused on statistical analysis and seismic response law, and the influence on seismic stability evaluation of the slope is rarely discussed. Furthermore, slope shapes are often simplified for easy numerical model building. In view of this, five slope models with different slope shapes are considered, and the time-history analysis method and Newmark method are chosen to evaluate the seismic stability of these slope models under different amplitudes. The purpose of this paper is to compare the seismic stability of slopes with different slope shapes and to study the feasibility of simplifying the slope shape when evaluating the seismic stability of a slope.

The Newmark seismic time-history analysis method can take into account the effects of natural seismic peak ground acceleration (PGA), duration, and seismic frequency; seismic wave can be input into the method for simulation. This study calculates the dynamic response of the typical seabed slope of Caofeidian in the event of a similar Tangshan earthquake, and the displacement value can be used to quantitatively reflect the influence of the earthquake on the slope of the site. The allowable displacement value of the top of buildings or submarine slope can be used as a marker of security and stability analysis, which can further provide important reference for similar slope stability evaluation and offshore engineering construction.

Acceleration Response Spectrum

Based on the vertical seismic information, the vertical seismic response spectrum was calculated by Matlab Lsim function. The seismic effect of Kiewitt-Lamella suspended-dome was measured by dynamic to static ratio. According to the EL-Centro seismic wave, it analyzed and compared the dynamic to static ratios which were calculated by the following four vertical seismic calculation methods respectively: the simplified method of specification, the mode-superposition response spectrum methods based on the horizontal earthquake affecting coefficients and the vertical acceleration response spectrum respectively, and the time history analysis method. Analysis shows that: For the seismic effect, the time history analysis method is larger than the other three methods, and the method based on the vertical acceleration response spectrum is closer to the time history analysis method. Owing to large difference of the four methods for seismic effect, various methods should be adopted to ensure the safety of vertical seismic design.

Isolation Performance

Different friction bearing ratios have effects on the base isolation property of parallel composite isolation system subjected to the seismic excitation. In order to deeply investigate how the friction bearing ratio affect the isolation property, the numerical simulation was carried out by the time-history analysis method, in which the seismic response of parallel composite isolation system with different friction bearing ratios under different acceleration peak values were calculated. Then, the effects of different friction bearing ratios on the base maximum shear coefficients and base maximum displacements; the hysteretic characteristics and nonlinear properties were analyzed and discussed. The results show that, for the parallel composite isolation system, friction bearing ratio is a key factor affecting the isolation property and the nonlinear properties are tightly related to the friction bearing ratio and acceleration peak values.

In this paper, we calculate and analyze a tall building project of seismic isolation design. It is a frame-shear wall structure, which has twelve stories on the ground. And then, we use the time history analysis method to calculate the isolation structure. It is found that isolation equipment can extend the period of the structure, reduce the story drift in frequency earthquake. And it also can control the response of the structure. In rare earthquake, the story drift can meet the demand of unclasped; the displacement and force of the equipment can satisfy the demand of the code for seismic design of building.

Key Points

Slope dynamic factor of safety (FOS) under earthquake was calculated based on time history analysis method and compared with acceleration time history to analyze correspondence between them. In view of the fact that earthquake is a dynamic process, this paper proposed that three respects can be considered to analyze the slope stability rather than adopting a single FOS value. Firstly, the variation trend of the FOS time history can be combined with the forces on key points to analyze slope stability. Secondly, the displacement and stress vector fields can be adopted to evaluate the final slope stability. Thirdly, the variation trend of the displacement and velocity time history can be used as well. The above methods are applied to Beihoushan landslide in Hanyuan in Wenchuan earthquake to evaluate slope stability under earthquake and the analysis shows that the slope is stable as a whole.

Strength Variability

Influence of strength variability of braces on the weak shear type concentrically-braced steel frames is studied by pushover and nonlinear time history analysis method, which leads to a conclusion that the overstrength of brace has obviously detrimental influence on the seismic performance of the structure, induces stronger seismic reaction and higher seismic risk. Another valuable discovery is that after the area of the braces of weak shear type centrically-braced steel frames are determined according to the requirement of current codes, the designer can intentionally specify the structural steel of comparatively low strength (for example, the 2nd group in the paper taking 70% strength of steel Q235) for the brace, which can provide the structure more excellent seismic performance.

Sudden Release

The sudden release of energy within earth creates seismic waves on earth’s surface that is earthquake. This research was carried out using a base isolator type of HDR with  Certification Number MVBR-0516 (XO.3R) to reduce base shear, displacement and internal forces acting on the structure. This study uses time history analysis method with some earthquake loads in the form of acceleration acceleration. The objectives of the study were to determine the base shear of a reinforced concrete structure building using a base isolator and without using a base insulator. The results of this study indicate the use of base insulators reduces base shear by about 20% -67% and 14% -70.5% for earthquakes in the x direction to the east and west. Meanwhile, in the y direction earthquake, it was around 43% -70% and 43% -62% to the south and north

The Stability

Near-field ground shock features are analyzed according to the seismological record of the May 12 Wenchuan earthquake made at the Wolong observation station. A numerical analysis model is established by taking the record as the input seismic load and a real high and steep rock slope on the bank of the Zipingpu Reservoir. The acceleration response and shear strain increment distribution features at different locations of the slope under horizontal seismic force are analyzed using Plaxis software. The moment when the widest plastic zone occurs for the slope is obtained by time history analysis. The corresponding stability factor of the slope at that moment is calculated using the strength reduction method (including shear strength and tensile strength). The above is the Time History Analysis–Strength Reduction Method presented in this article. In addition, the stability factor of the slope can be calculated using the pseudostatic method by taking the seismic force as the external load. This is the Time History Analysis–Pseudostatic method put forward in this paper. Analysis results demonstrate that, as far as the studied high and steep slope is concerned, at 31.89 s, the stability factor calculated with the Time History Analysis–Strength Reduction Method is 1.004, which is slightly larger than the 0.833 obtained using the Time History Analysis–Pseudostatic Method (Spencer method). Both results demonstrate that there is collapse and sliding failure of the localized rock mass at the top of the slope at that moment because of joint fracture. Field investigation after the earthquake further verified the calculation result, proving to a certain degree the rationality of the analysis method presented.
