Abstract
An analytical solution to the dynamic responses of a multi-layered saturated ground with a tunnel subjected to instantaneous braking loads is developed using the interconversion between the plane and cylindrical waves and transmission reflection matrix. The effects of braking loads (horizontal-vertical moving loads), speed and frequency of loads, and soil stiffness and permeability on dynamic responses of the tunnel-ground system are investigated. The results indicate that the horizontal displacements of the tunnel lining and the dynamic shear stresses of the saturated ground are significantly underestimated when braking loads are neglected. The dynamic responses of the tunnel lining and the surrounding saturated ground also depend on the magnitude of load speed and frequency. The stiffness and permeability of the saturated ground have a considerable effect on the dynamic responses of the tunnel-ground system. The dynamic stresses and pore pressure increase as the soil stiffness grows while as the permeability of the saturated ground decreases, and this effect of soil stiffness and permeability on the dynamic responses gradually diminishes with growing speed.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Geotechnics is a journal dedicated to publishing high-quality, theoretical, and applied papers that cover all facets of geotechnics for transportation infrastructure such as roads, highways, railways, underground railways, airfields, and waterways. The journal places a special emphasis on case studies that present original work relevant to the sustainable construction of transportation infrastructure. The scope of topics it addresses includes the geotechnical properties of geomaterials for sustainable and rational design and construction, the behavior of compacted and stabilized geomaterials, the use of geosynthetics and reinforcement in constructed layers and interlayers, ground improvement and slope stability for transportation infrastructures, compaction technology and management, maintenance technology, the impact of climate, embankments for highways and high-speed trains, transition zones, dredging, underwater geotechnics for infrastructure purposes, and the modeling of multi-layered structures and supporting ground under dynamic and repeated loads.
