Abstract
Earthquake waves are generated by fault rupture, propagate through rocks and soil layers to local sites, and then excite buildings on the site. The densely distributed buildings will interact with the site and each other (site-city interaction effects, SCI effects), altering the dynamic responses of the site and the propagation process of earthquake waves. Therefore, the actual seismic motions experienced by urban building clusters are the result of the combined effects of SCI effects and earthquake wave propagation effects (such as rupture directivity effects, traveling wave effects, topographic effects, etc.). This paper proposes a computational framework for site-city interaction analysis considering seismic wave propagation effects based on the domain reduction method and nonlinear numerical coupling scheme. Taking the 2021 buildings in the Beijing central business district (CBD) as an example, the paper analyzes the influence of different building clusters on the responses of the site and building clusters under the Sanhe-Pinggu earthquake. The research results indicate that building clusters significantly affect both the site and the responses of surrounding buildings, with an influence extending over 200 m, warranting close attention.
期刊介绍:
The journal aims to encourage and enhance the role of mechanics and other disciplines as they relate to earthquake engineering by providing opportunities for the publication of the work of applied mathematicians, engineers and other applied scientists involved in solving problems closely related to the field of earthquake engineering and geotechnical earthquake engineering.
Emphasis is placed on new concepts and techniques, but case histories will also be published if they enhance the presentation and understanding of new technical concepts.
