The present study aims to extend the investigation by probing the effect of cyclic degradation in greater detail, interpreting results from cyclic tests conducted at an advanced laboratory. In this regard, the results of 77 cyclic tests on natural sandy and clayey soils were analyzed. It was observed that the threshold strain for degradation is 1–2 × 10<sup>−4</sup> for clayey soils and 3 to 4 × 10<sup>−4</sup> for sandy soils. Furthermore, a correlation is proposed between degradation parameters and strain, which is useful for predicting the shear modulus for a desired loop number in cases where only the shear modulus of the 1st loop is available. To ensure the accuracy of this correlation, two additional tests were conducted in the laboratory. The predictions showed satisfactory agreement with the measurements. It was observed that after 15 loading cycles, the shear modulus of the soil decreased to 30–40 % of its initial value at the first cycle.

Actually, the significance of source effects on topographic amplification cannot be underestimated. Meanwhile, the thickness and material damping of local alluvium can exert momentous influence on ground motions. In this study, a series solution is proposed to tackle the scattering phenomenon caused by a partially filled semi-circular alluvial valley with a lined tunnel under cylindrical SH waves, and the impact of source distance on the ground motions of the irregular topography with a tunnel is revealed for the first time. Firstly, the wave-function expansion approach and classical mirror image method are developed to constructive wave-function expressions in different polar coordinate systems. Then, applying the appropriate Graf's addition formula, it becomes possible to unify the coordinate systems for different subregions. Furthermore, according to continuity conditions of stress and displacement, the region-matching technique is adopted to determine the unknown coefficients of the algebraic equations. Finally, to illustrate the interaction between a partially filled alluvial valley and a lined tunnel on ground motions, a comprehensive parametric analysis is performed in both the frequency and time domains. A significant finding is that ground motions of combined topography is affected by the source location, and the source distance cannot be disregarded unless the source distance surpasses 100-time valley width. This indicates the need to closely examine how the source location influences the amplification effect due to combined topography, particularly when the source is near the terrain.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49502,"journal":{"name":"Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering","volume":"188 ","pages":"Article 109073"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142659712","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}

Consequently, simulating ground-motion at offshore sites poses a significant challenge. To address this, this study begins with a dataset comprising stress drops of 70 earthquakes, region-specific quality factors, and linear site amplification factors (AFs) of six offshore stations in Sagami Bay, Japan, obtained using the generalized inversion technique (GIT). Then, by incorporating additional offshore accelerograms with focal depths up to 333 km and peak ground accelerations (PGAs) ranging from 0.2 to 4.2 m/s<sup>2</sup>, we delve deeper into the effects of nonlinear site behaviors on the high-frequency attenuation parameter (<em>κ</em><sub>0</sub>) and AFs, respectively. A counterintuitive decrease in <em>κ</em><sub>0</sub> was observed as the peak ground acceleration (PGA) reached 0.5–0.8 m/s<sup>2</sup>, echoing similar observations from previous studies on KiK-net stations. Our results indicate that the high-frequency attenuation characteristics of offshore sites vary under strong motions, potentially attributable to the nonlinear evolution of the frequency-independent quality factor and S-wave velocity within near-surface sediments. Additionally, the degree of nonlinearity (DNL) at these offshore stations exceeded 4 when PGA reached 0.2–0.3 m/s<sup>2</sup>, a threshold significantly lower than the previously reported range of 0.5–1.0 m/s<sup>2</sup>. Furthermore, we observed systematic variations in nonlinear behaviors between flat and steep offshore stations, particularly with peak frequencies shifting towards lower and higher frequencies, respectively.

Finally, simulations of two subduction earthquakes (<em>M</em><sub>W</sub>6.2 and 5.9) using the stochastic finite-fault simulation method (SFFSM) showed good agreement with observations at frequencies above 0.1 Hz.

However, the application of these procedures to large-magnitude (M<sub>w</sub> &gt; 7.5) subduction earthquakes has shown discrepancies between forward predictions and field observations, particularly regarding liquefaction triggering and manifestation.

The model considers liquefiable layer thickness and relative density, along with input motion's Cumulative Absolute Velocity (CAV), as the main predictors of soil liquefaction. To this end, a numerical model was first developed and validated against results from a dynamic centrifuge test simulating free-field conditions. The calibrated numerical model was then used to perform a numerical parametric study to identify the trends and key predictors of liquefaction in layered soil deposits subjected to large-magnitude subduction earthquakes.

In this study, the mechanical properties of RSRWs under seismic loading are discussed in depth, with special attention paid to the influence of tiered configuration effects on the seismic performance of RSRWs. The response characteristics of these structures under seismic loading were comparatively analyzed by conducting shaking table tests of single-tiered, two-tiered, and three-tiered modular geogrid RSRWs. The results show that localized modular misalignment mainly occurs at the top of the retaining walls of all tiers, and reasonable tiered design can enhance the stability, but too many tiers may instead reduce the structural stability. The tiered reinforced soil retaining walls (TRSRWs) exhibit higher natural frequencies and damping ratios, which increase with more tiers, and the natural frequencies and damping ratios of the upper-tiered walls are always higher than those of the lower-tiered walls. The acceleration amplification effect is more significant in the upper part of the retaining wall structure, and the tiered design can reduce the acceleration amplification effect to a certain extent, but the increase in the number of tiers does not have much effect on this. The horizontal displacement of the TRSRWs shows the distribution of “upper large and lower small”, and the two-tiered retaining wall effectively reduces the horizontal displacement of the wall facing, whereas the three-tiered retaining wall does not have a significant improvement effect. The tiered design significantly optimizes the settlement of the retaining walls, and the number of tiers has little effect on the settlement improvement. The seismic active soil pressure increased with the peak ground acceleration and loading frequency, and the tiered design changed its distribution, and the increase in the number of tiers helped to further reduce the soil pressure. The increment of reinforcement strain in TRSRWs was lower than that in single-tiered retaining walls, and the tiered design effectively reduced the reinforcement stress, but the number of tiers had a limited effect on the improvement of this effect. The upper part of the wall in the un-tiered design is prone to overall tilt and horizontal expansion, and the deformation of the upper-tiered walls of the TRSRWs is all in a composite deformation mode, while the lowest-tiered walls are in a single deformation mode. The tiered design has a positive effect in limiting the development of potential failure surfaces in the substructure, resulting in improved stability of the substructure.
