Shaking Table Test and Numerical Simulation Study on Tunnel-Soil-Bridge Pile Structure Interaction System

Abstract

In this study, based on the actual project in Dalian, the dynamic interaction of the double tunnel sand bridge pile system (SSSI) under earthquake action is studied by shaking table test, and the dynamic response laws of the structure and site are obtained, which are compared with ABAQUS numerical simulation. The Kelvin constitutive model subprogram is introduced into the numerical model, and the equivalent linear method is used to deal with the nonlinear problems of sand in the calculation process. The experimental results are compared with the results obtained using the numerical model to verify the reliability of the numerical simulation. Based on this, eight working conditions are designed, and the interaction law between the structures in the system is investigated through a comparative analysis. The results showed that the tunnel amplifies the dynamic responses of the bridge pile, adjacent tunnel, and far field, while the bridge pile attenuates the dynamic responses of the side tunnel and far field; the presence of both the tunnel and bridge pile increases the internal force of the adjacent structure, and the peak internal force often occurs near the intersection of the structure or at the pile–soil interface.

Seismic performance of soft soil foundation with a new type of assembled wall tuned mass damper

“…Based on the above requirements, the soil box length × wide × high size set to 2.0 m ×2.0 m ×1.5 m in this study, 200 mm thick polystyrene foam and a layer of polyvinyl chloride film were attached to the inner wall to reduce the impact of boundary effect. Meanwhile, our research group also published relevant literature to prove the feasibility of a rigid model box with soft lining under this treatment method [30][31][32]. The box wall was fixed by welding square steel pipes and plates, and the bottom of the soil box was fixed to a shaking table using high-strength bolts.…”

Application of Numerical Simulation Technology in New Intelligent Reinforcing Method of Shield Tunnel End in Seaside Environment

“…In the past, there were few studies on the scope of end reinforcement in China. The selection of the reinforcement range at the end was generally based on engineering experience, and the theoretical basis was weak [21]. The reinforcement range of the end reinforcement design is usually 3.0 m above and 3.0 m below the bottom plate, and the longitudinal reinforcement length is usually taken as 6~8 m.…”
