Seismic responses of the steel-strip reinforced soil retaining wall with full-height rigid facing from shaking table test

To investigate the seismic response of the steel-strip reinforced soil retaining wall with fullheight rigid facing in terms of the acceleration in the backfill, dynamic earth pressure in the backfill, the displacements on the facing and the dynamic reinforcement strain distribution under different peak acceleration, a large 1-g shaking table test was performed on a reduced-scale reinforced-earth retaining wall model. It was observed that the acceleration response in non-strip region is greater than that in potential fracture region which is similar with the stability region under small earthquake,while the acceleration response in potential fracture region is greater than that in stability region in middle-upper of the wall under moderately strong earthquakes. The potential failure model of the rigid wall is rotating around the wall toe. It also was discovered that the Fourier spectra produced by the inputting white noises after seismic wave presents double peaks, rather than original single peak, and the frequency of the second peak trends to increase with increasing the PGA(peak ground amplitude) of the excitation which is greater than 0.4 g. Additionally,the non-liner distribution of strip strain along the strips was observed, and the distribution trend was not constant in different row. Soil pressure peak value in stability region is larger than that in potential fracture region. The wall was effective under 0.1 g-0.3 g seismic wave according to the analyses of the facing displacement and relative density. Also, it was discovered that the potential failure surface is corresponds to that in design code, but the area is larger. The results from the study can provide guidance for a more rational design of reinforced earth retaining walls with full-height rigid facing in the earthquake zone.

复合式整体刚性面板加筋土挡墙结构行为试验研究

复合式整体刚性面板加筋土挡墙是近年研制的新型加筋土挡墙,其面板由预制混凝土板和现浇混凝土组合而成。依托成昆铁路试验段进行此类加筋土挡墙的现场原位试验,并针对其结构特性提出设计原理。施工过程中,在挡墙内部不同部位安装传感器,进行长期监测。分析施工期和工后挡墙基底垂直应力、墙背土压力、土工格栅应变、基底及墙顶沉降、墙面水平位移的演化规律。在面板完成后发生2次地震,监测了地震前后挡墙的变化,研究地震对挡墙结构行为的影响。结果表明:基底垂直应力和墙背土压力随着填筑的增加,逐渐由线性分布演化为非线性分布。土工格栅沿墙高分布的应变峰值平面形状类似"0.3H法(H为墙高)"破裂面。地震后,基底垂直应力、基底及墙顶沉降和墙面水平位移增大,而墙背土压力和土工格栅应变先增大后减小。

连续配筋混凝土刚柔复合式路面界面剪应力分析

连续配筋混凝土刚柔复合式沥青路面是一种新型复合式路面结构,具有强度高、整体性强等优点,但由于沥青与混凝土层间变形协调性能差,易发生剪切破坏。基于弹性层状体系理论,采用BISAR3.0程序计算了连续配筋混凝土刚柔复合式路面层间最大剪应力,研究分析了温度、结构层厚度、表面摩擦系数、轮载等主要影响因素对层间最大剪应力的影响,揭示了层间最大剪应力的分布规律。结果表明,层间最大剪应力随着温度、表面摩擦系数、轮载增加而增加,且变化幅度明显;随着结构层厚度的增加而减小,趋于非线性下降。
