This study proposes a novel seismic ground motion prediction method that integrates the advantages of both probabilistic and deterministic approaches. This method incorporates the target structure's natural vibration period and evaluates all possible seismic risks within the potential seismic source zone rather than limiting the analysis to seismic response patterns under assumed scenarios. This approach establishes a series of probabilistically defined seismic events. A broadband hybrid seismic source model, which accounts for high-frequency random scattering, is introduced. The deterministic physics-based broadband hybrid method for seismic motion simulation simulates the low-frequency component (≤1 Hz) using the Spectral Element Method (SEM) and models the high-frequency component (&gt;1 Hz) using a modified three-dimensional Stochastic Finite Fault Method (3D-EXSIM). The resulting output comprises a series of probabilistically significant broadband ground motion simulations designed for the actual site with varying return periods. The method is employed as a case study to analyze a rare earthquake scenario for a subway station (with a natural vibration period T = 1.0 s) in the Binhai New Area, Tianjin, to clarify and validate the rationality and advancement of this method for the seismic fortification of critical building structures in near-fault regions. The results demonstrated that this method is more reliable than the artificial ground motion synthesis model using the Uniform Hazard Spectrum (UHS) and effectively captures significant near-fault effects. This method is valuable for developing seismic codes and achieving urban planning and infrastructure protection in active fault areas.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49502,"journal":{"name":"Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering","volume":"197 ","pages":"Article 109539"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144154352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the lack of effective tensioning between the concealed column TF and IW, the IW is prone to out-of-plane (OOP) collapse under seismic action. To improve the connection performance between the TF and IW, a reinforcement method using embedded reinforcement element was proposed and designed. Four groups of 1:2 scale concealed column TF-IW specimens were designed, with the number and position of embedded reinforcement element as parameters. By studying the mechanical properties and deformation characteristics of each specimen, the arrangement principles of the embedded reinforcement element were determined. Additionally, the mechanical properties and deformation characteristics of the concealed column TF-IW were further studied using ABAQUS software. Based on this, a simplified calculation model for the bearing capacity (OOP) of IW was established, considering factors such as crack height, IW thickness, IW width, mortar strength, and boundary conditions. The results show that the calculation results are in excellent agreement with the experimental results. The study indicates that the mortar strength and the constraint effect of the beam on the IW have a minor impact on the bearing capacity (OOP) of the IW, increasing it by 9.3 % and 2.4 %, respectively, while the constraint effect of the TF column on the IW and the height of the cracks in the IW have a significant impact, increasing the bearing capacity by 69.7 % and 34.4 %, respectively.

The investigation initiates with a series of resonant column tests to determine the dynamic shear modulus and damping ratio of RSM at small strain amplitudes, considering different rubber contents (<em>RC</em>), particle size ratios (<em>PSR</em>), and confining pressures. Subsequently, cyclic simple shear tests with larger strain amplitudes were conducted to examine the dynamic properties of RSM across a wide range of shear strains.

Over a wide strain amplitude range, including rubber particles enhances the damping characteristics of sandy soil. At small strains, the damping ratio gradually increases with the rise in <em>RC</em>; however, under large strain conditions, the variation trend of the damping ratio depends on the specific <em>RC</em>. when the <em>RC</em> increases from 0 % to 25 %, the dynamic shear modulus of RSM decreases significantly.

In different historical periods, several versions of seismic intensity standards have been released by the China Earthquake Administration (CEA) to evaluate the degree of damage to engineering structures. This paper innovatively considers the vulnerability assessment scale of adobe structures considering six versions of the Chinese earthquake intensity standard, and a seismic damage probability model of the adobe structure is established considering the impacts of six destructive earthquakes during different periods (China).

A novel vulnerability prediction model for adobe structures considering the evaluation of historical Chinese intensity standards was proposed via Gaussian process regression and algorithms. Using the actual seismic loss dataset of adobe structures (the Wenchuan earthquake in China) and the proposed vulnerability model, seismic vulnerability prediction curves for adobe structures considering six versions of macrointensity standards were generated. A numerical model of an adobe structure was established using numerical simulation methods. Considering the ground motion parameter values specified in different intensity zones of the three Chinese earthquake intensity standards, dynamic response and failure risk analyses were conducted on the numerical model, and earthquake damage stress clouds were generated.

However, the seismic mitigation performance of this materials in building structures remains to be investigated. A seismic mitigation raft foundation made of phononic-like crystal polymer concrete is proposed in this paper. To investigate the seismic mitigation mechanism of the novel raft foundation, two 1/5-scale reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures with four stories and two bays are subjected to shaking table tests, systematically analyzing structural responses and failure patterns under seismic excitation. Among them, one structure is equipped with a phononic-like crystal RC raft foundation (PC frame), while the other uses an ordinary concrete raft foundation (OC frame). This paper mainly summarizes the phenomena observed from the shaking table test, such as the evolution of damage, dynamic characteristics and seismic responses. Then, a seismic mitigation ratio is proposed as an evaluation index to assess the seismic mitigation effect of the phononic-like crystal polymer concrete raft foundation. The results reveal that the PC frame structure exhibits reduced structural damage and attenuated seismic responses compared to the OC frame structure, indicating that the significant seismic performance enhancement achieved through the implementation of the phononic-like crystal polymer concrete raft foundation.

An empirical model for predicting the variation of the accumulative dissipated energy with the number of cycles was established. The energy dissipation principle was employed to investigate the evolution of cyclic shear strain and equivalent pore pressure. The findings suggested that as the cyclic stress amplitude increased, incremental damage caused by the aftershock loading to the soil skeleton structure became more severe. This was manifested as the progressive increase in deformation and the rapid accumulation of dissipated energy.

These vibration control strategies were applied to the Hualong pressurized reactor 1000 (HPR1000) NPP with a base-isolated double-layer containment. The equations of motion of base-isolated NPP with different TIDs were derived, and the seismic response variances of the HPR1000 NPP with the three TIDs under white noise excitation were obtained. Furthermore, the parameters of the three TIDs were optimized by minimizing the dynamic response of the NPP. The optimization results of dynamic response demonstrate that the SPIS-II reduces relative displacement of the base-isolated NPP significantly, while the SPIS-I has a better performance in minimizing absolute acceleration. Besides, the SIS shows a better vibration suppression effect when the inertial coefficient is relatively small. Furthermore, the detailed finite element method (FEM) models of the HPR1000 NPP with various vibration control strategies were established for validating the efficiency of the three TIDs. When these FEM models are subjected to safe-shutdown earthquake (SSE) loadings, the results demonstrate that TIDs reduce the seismic response of the HPR1000 NPP effectively.

Past experimental studies have confirmed that the weakest section of the AMS during strong earthquakes is located at the upper-story beam ends. However, there is thus far no candidate for a reference approach to retrofitting and strengthening the AMS. This study addresses this gap by applying CFRP retrofitting to both ends of the upper-story beam. The main objective is to assess the effectiveness of the proposed retrofitting scheme. First, a three-dimensional finite element model is developed to simulate dynamic soil–AMS interaction. The validity of the numerical method is assessed via a comparison with measured data from reduced-scale model tests. Second, a numerical model of the AMS retrofitted with CFRP is built using validated methods. Finally, dynamic time-history analyses of the AMS with and without CFRP retrofitting are conducted, and their dynamic responses, including inter-story drift, dynamic strain, and tensile damage, in conjunction with the lateral displacement of the surrounding ground, are compared. Comparison of the results for the non-retrofitted and retrofitted structures shows that CFRP retrofitting significantly reduces both the principal strains and tensile damage factors at the upper-story beam ends while slightly increasing those values at the mid-span section of the beam; additionally, it does not change the structural lateral deformation.

Waste materials collected from the landfill site were treated with varying percentages of cement, and both treated and untreated specimens were investigated to evaluate the influence of cement treatment. The study examined the dynamic properties of cement-treated landfill waste, including cumulative plastic deformation, resilient modulus, and damping ratio, and also analysed the impact of cyclic loading on post-cyclic shear strength in comparison to pre-cyclic shear strength. The UCS tests and monotonic triaxial tests demonstrated that untreated specimens subjected to monotonic loading exhibited a progressive increase in strength with rising axial strain, whereas cement-treated specimens reached a peak strength before experiencing a decline. During cyclic loading, with the inclusion of cement, a significant reduction in cumulative plastic deformation and damping ratio was observed, and this reduction was further enhanced with increasing cement content. Conversely, the resilient modulus showed substantial improvement with the addition of cement, and this enhancement was further amplified with increasing cement content. The formation of cementation bonds between particles curtails particle movement within the landfill waste material matrix and prevents interparticle sliding during cyclic loading, leading to lower plastic strains and damping ratio while increasing resilient modulus. Post-cyclic monotonic testing revealed that cyclic loading caused the partial breakage of the cementation bonds, resulting in reduced shear strength. This reduction was higher on samples treated with lower cement content.
