Station Structure

Focusing on a complicated metro station with shallow depth, its three-dimensional calculation model was established, which includes not only the main station structure, but also includes the subsidiary structure such as the entrances and detailed structures such as the holes in the floor. The Davidenkov model was employed to simulate the nonlinear characteristics of the soil. The three-dimensional nonlinear seismic responses were analyzed. it can be shown from the calculation that: (1) the metro station structure can satisfy the demand under given seismic motion; (2) it is more important for structural concept design and structural measures design than the strength and deformation design for complicated underground structures.

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.

At present, the seismic design research of underground structures in loess areas is lagging behind compared with practical engineering requirements. The selection of seismic calculation methods and parameters does not consider the influences of the special geological conditions in various regions, so their usefulness is limited. Based on the above problems, a modified displacement-based method (DBM) was proposed and its application was compared with the most commonly used methods of analysis (force-based design method, displacement-based design method, detailed equivalent static analysis numerical method, and the full dynamic time-history method). The results were also validated by considering data from shaking table tests conducted on a case study involving the underground Feitian Road subway station in Xi’an. The results show that compared with DBM, the average accuracy of the modified DBM technique is improved by 41.65%. The modified DBM offers good accuracy, simplicity in its model, a rapid analysis time, and easy convergence.

The complexities and the economic computational infeasibility associated in some cases, with three-dimensional finite element models, has imposed a motive for many investigators to accept numerical modeling simplification solutions such as assuming two-dimensional (2D) plane strain conditions in simulation of several supported-deep excavation problems, especially for cases with a relatively high aspect ratio in plan dimensions. In this research, a two-dimensional finite element model was established to simulate the behavior of the supporting system of a large-scale deep excavation utilized in the construction of an underground metro station Rod El Farrag project (Egypt). The essential geotechnical engineering properties of soil layers were calculated using results of in-situ and laboratory tests and empirical correlations with SPT-N values. On the other hand, a three-dimensional finite element model was established with the same parameters adopted in the two-dimensional model. Sufficient sensitivity numerical analyses were performed to make the three-dimensional finite element model economically feasible. Results of the two-dimensional model were compared with those obtained from the field measurements and the three-dimensional numerical model. The comparison results showed that 3D high stiffening at the primary walls’ corners and also at the locations of cross walls has a significant effect on both the lateral wall deformations and the neighboring soil vertical settlement.

Underground structures are generally considered to have high seismic performance and expected to play an important role as a base for reconstruction even after a destructive earthquake. Rigidity changing points, such as jointed and curved portions of underground structure, where localized deformation and stress is supposed to be generated, are ones of the most critical portions in terms of seismic performance of underground structure. Because the underground structure in a mega-city functions as a network, local damage could lead to fatal dysfunction. Accordingly, rigidity changing points and their surrounding area could significantly influence the resiliency of urban functions, and it is indispensable to evaluate their seismic performance and dynamic responses during earthquakes. The responses of rigidity changing points and their surrounding area to earthquakes have been tried evaluating by using large-scale numerical analyses, there is no case available where the responses have been measured in detail. For this reason, it is difficult to verify the validity of the results of such evaluations.In light of the above, the shake table test was conducted at E-Defense using a coupled specimen of soil and underground structures to obtain detailed data, especially on the localized responses around rigidity changing points during the earthquake. Based on the data obtained, the behavior of the underground structure with a curved portion at the time of an earthquake was analyzed comprehensively. As a result of the analysis on the test data, it is found that there is a strong correlation between the localized deformation of the curved portion of the tunnel and the displacement of the surrounding ground. In addition, it is necessary to conduct a three-dimensional seismic response analysis not only around the rigidity changing point but also in wider area.

Shaking Table Tests

Shaking table tests were conducted on typical models of subway structures subjected to several seismic shaking time histories to study seismic response of subway structures in soft ground as well as to provide data for validation of seismic design methods for underground structure. Three types of tests were presented herein, namely green field test, subway station test, and test for joint structure between subway station and tunnel. The similitude and modeling aspects of the 1g shaking table test are discussed. The seismic response of Shanghai clay in different depths was examined under different input waves to understand the acceleration amplification feature in both green field and in the presence of underground structure. Damage situation was checked on internal sections of both subway station and tunnels by halving the model structure. Structure deformation was investigated in terms of element strain under different earthquake loadings. The findings from this study provides useful pointers for future shaking table tests on underground structures/facilities, and the seismic response characteristic of underground structure derived from the shaking table test could be helpful for validating seismic design method for subway station.

Central columns have long been demonstrated to play a vital role in withstanding not only static gravity loads but also seismic loads like earthquakes. A series of modeling tests are implemented on shaking table instrument to reflect the mechanism of soil — structure interaction and examine the validity of method of uplifting underground structural seismic resistance through strengthening central columns. An innovative method of enhancing central columns by adhering carbon fiber cloth onto column’s peripheral surface is introduced into a series of shaking table modeling tests, in which two two-layer underground model structures are constructed for comparison, one without any column remedy acts as a benchmark for reference and the other is amended with carbon fiber cloth adhered on column surface. Test results show that soft round model box adopted in tests serves well in simulating earthquake actions with negligible boundary effects on wave transfer; soil dynamic characteristics and the relative stiffness of structure to surrounding soil will interactively limit mutual motion and deformation. Racking deformation assumption may be not applicable for overall two-layer underground structure deformation analysis, but may be suitable for inter-layer displacement calculation for single layer in multi-layer rectangular underground structures. The adopted column enhancement measure could not only greatly increase the stiffness ratio of model structure to soil, reducing structure deformation, but also improve the integrity of underground structure by narrowing down the deformation difference between two structural layers, certifying that such a measure could be validly used in improving the seismic resistance capacity for already built underground structures without enough aseismic consideration when designed.
