Before And After

It is often necessary to study on the seismic performance of the buried pipelines subjected to tunnel excavation, because the ground motion will inevitably endanger the nearby underground pipelines. In this paper, modeling and analysis of earthquake-resistant performance of tunnel excavation to the upper underground pipeline have been carried out. The changes of stress and displacement of the upper underground pipeline under action of the same seismic wave before and after tunnel excavation was compared. It is showed that there’s a greater impact on the stress and displacement of upper underground pipeline under seismic action, and a tunnel with reasonable supporting would support the underground pipeline to some extent.

The interaction of a double-tube parallel tunnel excavation will greatly influence on underground pipeline of its region. This paper, taking Dalian Spring Street subway station as the background, uses the finite difference software to establish 3-D finite element analysis model to simulate the effects of tunnel excavation on underground pipeline, in which different embedment, material properties and diameters are considered. By analyzing of the settlement and deformation law of pipeline, the least affected pipeline conditions are drawn to provide corresponding guidance for subsequent underground projects.

Underground Pipelines

The existing tunnels may have an influence on seismic performance of adjacent underground pipelines. However, most of previous relevant studies are separately focused on seismic performance of the pipeline or the tunnel. In this paper, the major influencing factors of the existing tunnel in the seismic performance of adjacent underground pipelines, including joint types of the pipeline, the different angles and the distances between the pipeline and tunnel, were discussed. Numerical results show that flexible joint is the important factor which is helpful to decrease the settlement difference and the axial stress of the pipeline. Meanwhile, the relative position between the pipeline and the tunnel may also have a significant influence on seismic performance of pipelines.

AbstractRecent research in engineering seismology demonstrated that in addition to three translational seismic excitations along x, y and z axes, one should also consider rotational components about these axes when calculating design seismic loads for structures. The objective of this paper is to present the results of a seismic response numerical analysis of a mine tower (also called in the literature a headframe or a pit frame). These structures are used in deep mining on the ground surface to hoist output (e.g. copper ore or coal). The mine towers belong to the tall, slender structures, for which rocking excitations may be important. In the numerical example, a typical steel headframe 64 m high is analysed under two records of simultaneous rocking and horizontal seismic action of an induced mine shock and a natural earthquake. As a result, a complicated interaction of rocking seismic effects with horizontal excitations is observed. The contribution of the rocking component may sometimes reduce the overall seismic response, but in most cases, it substantially increases the seismic response of the analysed headframe. It is concluded that in the analysed case of the 64 m mining tower, the seismic response, including the rocking ground motion effects, may increase up to 31% (for natural earthquake ground motion) or even up to 135% (for mining-induced, rockburst seismic effects). This means that not only in the case of the design of very tall buildings or industrial chimneys but also for specific yet very common structures like mine towers, including the rotational seismic effects may play an important role.

Seismic Action

The ground motion is multidimensional, random and uncertain in directions when earthquakes occur, so dynamic response under oblique seismic action needs to be considered in the structure design. A frame structure with different stiffness in two horizontal directions was analyzed under seismic action with different input angles. The maximum response of beams and columns was obtained. The seismic mechanism of structures under oblique seismic action was discussed.

A new measure of ground motion intensity in the horizontal direction is proposed. Similarly to other recently proposed measures of intensity, the proposed intensity measure is also independent of the as-installed orientation of horizontal sensors at recording stations. This new measure of horizontal intensity, referred to as MaxRotD50, is defined using the maximum 5%-damped response spectral ordinate of two orthogonal horizontal directions and then computing the 50th percentile for all non-redundant rotation angles, that is, the median of the set of spectral ordinates in a range of 90°. This proposed measure of intensity is always between the median and maximum spectral ordinate for all non-redundant orientations, commonly referred to as RotD50 and RotD100, respectively. A set of 5065 ground motion records is used to show that MaxRotD50 is, on average, approximately 13%–16% higher than Rot50 and 6% lower than RotD100. The new measure of intensity is particularly well suited for earthquake-resistant design where a major concern for structural engineers is the probability that the design ground motion intensity is exceeded in at least one of the two principal horizontal components of the structure, which for most structures are orthogonal to each other. Currently, design codes in the United States are based on RotD100, and hence using MaxRotD50 for structures with two orthogonal principal horizontal components would result in a reduction of the ground motion intensities used for design purposes.

Research at home and abroad shows that subway excavation often causes soil stress loss, resulting in settlement deformation and horizontal displacement of stratum. Therefore, combined with the special engineering geological conditions in Kunming area, the foundation deformation caused by subway excavation is studied, so as to provide an important foundation for proposing the protection measures of surrounding buildings and buried pipelines and promoting the construction of subway.
