深埋反应堆厂房土结相互作用下的楼层反应谱分析

埋深对核安全级厂房楼层反应谱的计算具有较大影响,尤其当埋深较大且周围的地基岩性较好时,其对厂房的约束作用不可忽略,土—结相互作用明显,国内鲜有对深埋结构采用三维整体分析法进行土—结相互作用分析的研究。利用ANSYS分别建立某反应堆厂房上部结构和其周围岩土体的三维有限元模型,两者之间采用接触单元进行真实模拟,采用无质量的三维地基模型进行楼层反应谱的计算,并同采用地基阻抗函数简化模型来考虑地基影响的ANSYS三维结构有限元模型所计算的楼层反应谱进行对比分析,以期为类似工程的楼层反应谱计算提供一些有用的参考和建议。

Zonal Coupling Analysis Method of Seismic Response of Offshore Monopile Wind Turbine

The seismic safety of offshore wind turbines is an important issue that needs to be solved urgently.Based on a unified computing framework,this paper develops a set of seawater-seabed-wind turbine zoning coupling analysis methods.A 5 MW wind turbine and a site analysis model are established,and a seismic wave is selected to analyze the changes in the seismic response of offshore monopile wind turbines under the change of seawater depth,seabed wave velocity and seismic wave incidence angle.The analysis results show that when the seawater increases to a certain depth,the seismic response of the wind turbine increases.The shear wave velocity of the seabed affects the bending moment and displacement at the bottom of the tower.When the angle of incidence increases,the vertical displacement and the acceleration of the top of the tower increase in varying degrees.

Dynamic Interaction of Soil-Isolated Structure:A Systematic Review

Isolation technique of ground structure is a hot topic in the field of earthquake engineering and structure dynamics.Since soil-isolated structure dynamic interaction study is of great significance to enhance seismic performance of isolated structures and revision of relevant isolation specifications,research on dynamic interaction of soil-isolated structure has attracted more and more attention.Based on the basic theory of soil-structure dynamic interaction,we summarize and analyze the research status quo of soil-isolated structure dynamic interaction by means of theoretical analysis,numerical simulation,model test,prototype observation and seismic performance.After reviewing the results of previous research,we reveal that some key issues,which can be used to uncover dynamic interaction mechanism and seismic response characteristics of soil-isolated structures interaction system,should not be neglected.Based on the concept of seismic performance design and the latest research of soil-isolated structure dynamic interaction,we predict the future development of soil-isolated structure dynamic interaction by elastoplastic time history analysis method,seismic performance level and practical analysis method based on energy.

Improved Simulation Method for Soil-Geogrid Interaction of Reinforced Earth Structure in FEM

The interaction between geogrid and soil is crucial for the stability of geogrid-reinforced earth structure. In finite element （FE） analysis, geogrids are usually assumed as beam or truss elements, and the interaction between geogrid and soil is considered as Coulomb friction resistance, which cannot reflect the true stress and displacement developed in the reinlbrcement. And the traditional Lagrangian elements used to simulate soil always become highly distorted and lose accuracy in high-stress blocks. An improved geogrid model that can produce shear resistance and passive resistance and a soil model using the Eulerian technique, in combination with the coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian （CEL） method, are used to analyze the interaction between geogrid and soil of reinforced foundation test in ABAQUS. The stress in the backfill, resistance of geogrid, and settlement of foundation were computed and the results of analysis agree well with the experimental results. This simulation method is of referential value for FE analysis of reinforced earth structure.

Progressive failure processes of reinforced slopes based on general particle dynamic method

In order to resolve grid distortions in finite element method(FEM), the meshless numerical method which is called general particle dynamics(GPD) was presented to simulate the large deformation and failure of geomaterials. The Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion was implemented into the code to describe the elasto-brittle behaviours of geomaterials while the solid-structure(reinforcing pile) interaction was simulated as an elasto-brittle material. The Weibull statistical approach was applied to describing the heterogeneity of geomaterials. As an application of general particle dynamics to slopes, the interaction between the slopes and the reinforcing pile was modelled. The contact between the geomaterials and the reinforcing pile was modelled by using the coupling condition associated with a Lennard-Jones repulsive force. The safety factor, corresponding to the minimum shear strength reduction factor "R", was obtained, and the slip surface of the slope was determined. The numerical results are in good agreement with those obtained from limit equilibrium method and finite element method. It indicates that the proposed geomaterial-structure interaction algorithm works well in the GPD framework.

DYNAMIC FINITE LAYER-ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF SOIL-STRUOTURE INTERACTION FOR NEW-TYPE OFFSHORE PLATFORM

In this paper, a new method called dynamic finite layer--element method (DFLEM) is used to analyse the soil--structure interaction of new type offshore platforms. Some valuable results have been obtained. The results show that the DFLEM is a new effective method to analyse dynamic soil--structure interaction and can be applied widely in practice.

Simplified Damage Assessment of Slab Against External Blast Load

Recently, the mode approximation method(MAM) has been adopted to analyze beam elements against blast load. However, in real cases, the main structural element of an underground structure is slab and side wall since they not only support the structure itself but also may sustain external loads from blast, earthquake, and other kinds of impact. In the present study, the MAM is extended from beam to plate elements and the soil-structure interaction is considered and simplified when calculating structural response under blast load. Pressure-impulse diagrams are generated accordingly for further quick damage assessment.

Comparative analysis of seismic response characteristics of pile-supported structure

In order to analyze the seismic response characteristics of pile-supported structure,a computational model considering pile-soil-structure interaction effect was established by finite element method.Then,numerical implementation was made in time domain.At the same time,a simplified approximation for seismic response analysis of pile-soil-structure system was briefly presented.Furthermore,comparative study was performed for an engineering example.Through comparative analysis,it is shown that the results obtained by the simplified method well agree with those achieved by the finite element method.These results show that spectrum characteristics and intensity of input earthquakes are two important factors that can notablely influence the seismic response characteristics of superstructure.When the input ground motion acceleration amplitude gradually increases from 1 to 4 m/s2,the acceleration of pier top will increase,but it will not be simply proportional to the increase of input acceleration amplitude.

Numerical Analysis of a Gravity Substructure for 5 MW Offshore Wind Turbines Due to Soil Conditions

In order to increase the gross generation of wind turbines, the size of a tower and a rotor-nacelle becomes larger. In other words, the substructure for offshore wind turbines is strongly influenced by the effect of wave forces as the size of substructure increases. In addition, since a large offshore wind turbine has a heavy dead load, the reaction forces on the substructure become severe, thus very firm foundations should be required. Therefore, the dynamic soil-structure interaction has to be fully considered and the wave forces acting on substructure accurately calculated. In the present study, ANSYS AQWA is used to evaluate the wave forces. Moreover, the substructure method is applied to evaluate the effect of soil-structure interaction. Using the wave forces and the stiffness and damping matrices obtained from this study, the structural analysis of the gravity substructure is carried out through ANSYS mechanical. The structural behaviors of the strength and deformation are evaluated to investigate an ultimate structural safety and serviceability of gravity substructure for various soil conditions. Also, the modal analysis is carried out to investigate the resonance between the wind turbine and the gravity substructure.
