液化场地桩柱式基础桥梁结构地震反应的敏感性分析

SESIMIC RESPONSE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF PILE SUPPORTED BRIDGE STRUCTURES IN LIQUEFIABLE GROUND

  • 摘要: 地震反应的有效估计是液化场地桥梁结构设计、加固改造的必要环节,但通过数值模拟手段获得的结果易受模型参数变化的影响。为探究影响液化场地桥梁结构地震反应的控制性参数,该文首先建立了某离心机试验的场地-结构整体有限元模型,通过数值分析与试验结果的对比验证了数值方法的可靠性;然后,建立了上覆粘土层-松砂层-密砂层的典型倾斜液化场地-桩柱式桥梁结构有限元模型,采用龙卷风图和一次二阶矩方法,以场地和结构的主要物理性质为分析参数,进行场地、结构地震反应的敏感性分析。结果表明:场地、结构的地震反应与各分析参数大体上呈线性或低非线性的变化关系;在所研究的参数中,液化松砂层的内摩擦角、土层倾角和地震峰值加速度为控制性参数,而密砂层各参数和钢筋、混凝土强度参数的敏感性均很低。研究结果可对液化场地桥梁结构地震反应的准确估算,振动台、离心机模型试验的工况优化提供科学参考。

     

    Abstract: Numerical prediction on seismic response of liquefiable soil-structure system is susceptible to varying model input parameters. In order to detect soil parameters that have most significant effects on the seismic response of pile-soil-bridge structure system in liquefiable ground, this paper firstly calibrated the numerical approach by simulating a centrifuge testing. A typical model of pile supported bridge structure embedded into an inclined ground with three layers (overburden clay crust, saturated loose sand and dense sand, respectively) was then established. Sensitivity analysis focused on soil physical properties as well as structural properties. The parameters were the displacement and acceleration of the ground surface, and the displacement of the superstructure. Linear to low-level nonlinear trends between most of the soil parameters and the demands were obtained. The first-order sensitivity analysis indicated that, among the input parameters, the friction angle of loose saturated sand, the ground inclined angle, and PGA has the most significant effect on seismic response of the ground and structure. Sensitivity analysis also revealed the soil parameters with low-level uncertainty. In general, the results of this paper are beneficial supplements for accurately evaluating the seismic response of bridge structures in liquefied and lateral spreading ground as well as the optimal design of the corresponding shaking table tests or centrifuge tests.
