Earthquake Action

The research of stability of underground structures under earthquake action is one of the hot topics in Geotechnical Engineering researches .Through numerical simulation the article studies the dynamic response rules of the underground structure under vertical earthquake action. The result shows that under vertical earthquake action the vertical stress on the roof and bottom plate of underground structure and the same depth in the earth both increases, and the vertical stress on the roof and bottom plate of underground structure is much higher than that on the same depth in the earth (above two times); under vertical earthquake action the underground structure experiences greater vertical stress from time to time, and produces vertical compressive deformation, and sometimes it completely separates from the above soil layer.

The article studies the influence of overlying soil thickness on dynamic response of underground stuctures by adopting the method of numerical simulation analysis. It carries on numerical analyses of dynamic response to the underground structures which overlying soil thickness is 0m、1.4m、2.8m、7.0m、14m、21m、28m. The results show that with the increase of overlying soil thickness, the horizontal displacement difference of bottom and top of side walls increases gradually. When the overlying soil thickness exceeds the height of underground structures, the displacement difference basically presents the rule of linear increase, while the displacement difference of the surrounding soil in the same depth do not change with the overlying soil thickness.

Similarity Ratio

A three-story underground structure shaking table test had been carried on to study the earthquake damage mechanism of underground structure in layered foundation. The test model was similar to typical subway station according to a certain similarity ratio, and the soils were disturbed sandy soil and silty clay dug from the site of Harbin subway. Shaking table tests to this typical model in silty clay and alternating layers of clay and sand were performed to reveal the effect of different layered soils. Results show that the sandy soil layer can reduce the damage of the soil and underground structure, the damage of underground structure is mainly controlled by displacement of the surrounding soil, and the response of shallow buried underground structure is larger than deep buried.

Range Of Influence

A tunnel passing below a metro station is taken as the object of our study, and a two-dimensional plane model is established to study the effects of their dynamic interaction to seismic excitation. Comparative analysis is used to obtain the influence law between the underground structures and on the soil. The results show that (1) the influence of the underground structure on the soil response is related to structure depth. The range of influence of the station structure on the surface is approximately five times the width of the station, and the surface response is obviously significant within this range. (2) The existence of the tunnel is conducive to reducing the acceleration of the column in the station. It increases the displacement difference between the stations, but the impact on the internal force of the station is not significant. (3) The influence of the station on the dynamic response of the tunnel is consistent with regard to tunnel acceleration, difference in displacement between the top and bottom of the tunnel, and internal force. The presence of the station will reduce the dynamic response of the tunnel.

Blasting Method

The blasting method is regarded as a simple, convenient and economical method for constructing the underground structure, so it is advisable method for many underground structures to construct. But the investigation of the effect of the blasting dynamic load on the vicinal tunnel structure is rare, and the effect of blasting on the vicinal structures cannot be ignored either; sometimes, the effect will cause crack and even collapse in the tunnel liner and surrounding rock. So this paper presented the effect of blasting on the vicinal underground structure in differential cases using the finite element software Midas GTS. The investigation in this paper indicated which case will suffer the more severe effect caused by blast and let us know the vibration principle of the underground structure in differential case, and that will provide the knowledge about the vibration caused by blasting to the design and construction by numerical simulation; additionally, this paper has presented the reinforcement method about inserting the bolt into the surrounding rock to analyze how to resist the effect of the blast load. So from this analysis, it can be noted that the blasting method or the explosive energy will be chosen on the basis of different construction shape, and the reasonable location of the bolt will be adopted in order to reduce the effect of the dynamic on the vicinal tunnel structure.

Analytic solution for the dynamic response of underground structure is generally based on the theory of cylindrical shell. The underground structure constructed to resist internal blast is not suitable to be treated as cylindrical shell structure and is difficult to get analytic solution. In this paper, finite element code LS-DYNA is employed to calculate the dynamic response of underground blast-resistant structures exposed to internal blast. Two structures with different thickness buried in four types of surrounding rocks are calculated, and the influence of the surrounding rocks to the dynamic response of underground blast-resistant structures is analyzed.

Rule Based Approach

The kingpost was a vertical element that was used to support the structural strut in the deep excavation. The structural kingpost was commonly arranged by experienced engineers who used two-dimensional construction drawings. Thus, it was still time-consuming and error-prone. Currently, an available construction program has been developed to arrange the structural kingpost by identifying the clash problems in the 3D environment. However, they have a limitation for detecting the clash that was unable to visualize the concurrent clashes between kingpost and many underground structures. Then, the engineer cannot see all the clash incidents with each kingpost and move the kingpost to avoid the clashes successfully. Since the kingpost arrangement was still an inefficient practice that was limited in the visualization aspect, this research used engineering knowledge and advanced construction technology to detect and solve the clashes between kingposts and underground structures. The methodology used engineering knowledge of kingpost arrangement to develop the system modules by using a rule-based approach. Then, these modules were developed into the system by using visual programming of Building Information Modelling (BIM). To test the system, an underground structure from building construction was selected as a case study to apply the developed system. Finally, the finding of this study could overcome human judgment by providing less interaction in the kingpost arrangement and visualization improvement of clash occurrences in the 3D model.

Elastically Supported

In this paper, an analytical method of the beam with springs and dampers fixed at the ends was proposed based on equivalent single degree of freedom (SDOF) system and secondary Lagrange’s dynamic equations, in order to develop a new effective method to enhance the aseismic capability of underground structures. The dynamic response of elastically supported and damply supported beams subjected to both seismic loading and static axial loading was analyzed by the proposed analytical procedure. The theoretical results were validated by the numerical simulation. In order to further investigate the effects of springs and dampers fixed at the ends of the columns in nonlinear response situation, the 3D nonlinear seismic responses of the Dakai metro station structure with and without the isolators were analyzed by ABAQUS respectively. It is demonstrated that: (1) the proposed analytical procedure can predict the dynamic response of beams with elastic and damper supports subjected to both seismic loading and axial loading. (2) Setting isolators at the supports of the column could enhance the aseismic capability of the structure effectively. (3) The axial static loading induced by the gravity of the soil and structure provide the constraint on the column, and therefore could not be neglected in the structural dynamic analysis.

Earthquake observations at different sites within alluvial soil deposits have demonstrated that the motion of buried underground structures closely follows that of the surrounding soil. Therefore, it is usual in a seismic design process to apply free-field ground displacements through Winkler-type soil springs to an underground structure to evaluate stress patterns induced within its structural members. Using a simplified approach, this paper provides a clear understanding of resonant horizontal ground displacement of and strain in a surface soil deposit with a radical change of depth and of where they occur.Key words: simple approach, seismic design, earthquake, resonance, underground structures.
