Finite element analysis on the collapse of infill walls with holes and different length-to-height ratios

Wenchuan earthquake damage survey displayed the major structures of buildings suffered only small damages,but it was common that infill walls suffered heavy damages or even collapse. To study the failure forms and collapse mechanism of infill walls in an earthquake,the influence of opening or length-to-height ratio on shake-resisting capability of filling walls was analyzed,and measures to improve the anti-collapse ability of infill walls were put forwaed. The numerical simulations on collapse process in earthquake were carried out by using ABAQUS software. We used 5 single story and single span models. It is revealed that the rigidity and compressive capacity of infill walls are reduced because of the infill walls with holes and the increases of length-to-height ratios. Adding constructional columns and horizontal beams can ensure structural integrity and improve the anti-collapse ability of the wall.

木里县项脚沟火后泥石流发育特征及应急处置对策

2020年3月28日,四川省凉山彝族自治州木里藏族自治县项脚乡及其毗邻的白碉、乔瓦等乡镇发生森林火灾,其中项脚乡项脚沟流域中、上部火灾后火烧迹地植被遭受严重破坏。自6月9日山顶附近局地短时强降雨激发甲尔沟(东支)暴发火后泥石流灾害以来,项脚沟主沟及多条支沟分别于6月12日、22日、23日、28日、29日、7月7日相继发生不等规模火后泥石流,造成沟口部分建筑物被多次淤埋,基于完善的群测群防体系,上述泥石流灾害均未造成人员伤亡。本文在现场调查基础上,重点解剖甲尔沟(东支)泥石流发育特征,分析临灾避险成功的关键是地方政府及各级相关部门高度重视、前期隐患排查到位、群测群防体系健全并高效运转、基层干部及相关人员履职尽责,并提出了应急工作中的不足。
