Moreover, the soil and water properties of the test model are typically consistent with those of the prototype. In the centrifugal dynamic model of a soil–structure–water system, establishing an appropriate similarity relationship is challenging because of the different materials used in the structural components of the test scale model and the prototype. To address this issue, an innovative similarity law is proposed for centrifugal shaking table tests to simulate the behaviour of soil–structure–water models. A numerical model of a deep-water bridge pier on a soft foundation was established and validated against centrifugal test results. Extensive numerical simulations were conducted to analyse the seismic responses of both the pier prototype and the scale model designed according to the proposed similarity law under the actions of the El Centro, Loma Prieta, and Kobe earthquakes. The results indicate that the maximum error in predicting the displacement and bending moment of the prototype using the scale model is 5.63 %, whereas the error for the hydrodynamic pressure and dynamic soil pressure is 14.98 %. Furthermore, when the proposed similarity law is applied to design a scale model for various water depths and seismic intensities during the El Centro earthquake, the maximum error in predicting the prototype displacements and bending moments is reduced to 5.34 %, with a maximum error of 14.79 % for hydrodynamic pressures and dynamic soil pressures. Therefore, the soil–structure–water model designed using the proposed similarity law can accurately predict the structural response in centrifugal shaking table tests.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49502,"journal":{"name":"Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering","volume":"191 ","pages":"Article 109271"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143094906","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}

This paper proposes a novel double-compliant liquid dampers-inerter (DCLDI) system to mitigate the potential pounding and response of adjacent multi-storied buildings under seismic excitations. Specifically, three configurations of DCLDI are investigated. In Configuration 1, two compliant liquid dampers (CLDs) are linked by the inerter; in Configuration 2, one end of the inerter is connected to the roof of Building 1, while the other end is connected to the CLD, placed at the roof of Building 2; in Configuration 3, one end of the inerter is connected to the CLD, placed at the roof of Building 1, while the other end is connected to the roof of Building 2. Two example benchmark buildings, 4-story and 5-story are taken up for numerical demonstration. The mathematical modelling of the adjacent buildings is done with the shear building multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) approximation. The control effectiveness of the proposed damper configurations is investigated in both time and frequency domains. Five parameters of DCLDI are optimized using a single-objective optimization solver, ‘<em>ga</em>’ in MATLAB. The ratio of the relative total energy of the controlled and uncontrolled buildings is chosen as an objective function, while white noise is considered as seismic input. For time domain analysis, 40 recorded seismic ground motions, 20 far-fault, and 20 near-fault are chosen. It is noticed that the optimum DCLDI achieves a maximum reduction in peak acceleration up to 25.3 % for Building 1 and 22.5 % for Building 2, respectively. While DCLDI fails to significantly reduce the maximum inter-story drift ratios and peak displacements, especially in Building 1, under individual earthquakes, the average percentage reductions of the peak responses are modest.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49502,"journal":{"name":"Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering","volume":"191 ","pages":"Article 109276"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143094908","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}

Before this investigation, a large-scale experimental model of a TTLS was designed and fabricated, consisting of 1:20 scale transmission towers, 1:40 scale transmission lines, and mass blocks. Following the model's installation, measurement arrangement, and ground motion excitation planning, a series of shake table array tests were conducted to assess the impact of long-period characteristics on the seismic performance of the TTLS in terms of displacement, acceleration, and strain responses.

This study proposes the use of super-absorbent-polymer concrete (SAPC) as an alternative trench backfill to mitigate structural damage in buried pipelines subjected to reverse fault movement, as opposed to conventional backfill with loose sand. This study begins with the preparation of lightweight porous concrete containing large super-absorbent-polymer aggregates, followed by mechanical property testing to establish a constitutive model of SAPC. The SAPC is then employed to backfill the trench of a fault-crossing pipeline. A finite element model is developed to analyze the pipeline-SAPC trench-soil interaction and evaluate the performance of the pipeline when the trench is backfilled with SAPC. Critical parameters such as SAPC backfill length, overlying thickness, and elastic modulus are also examined for their effects on the performance of a buried pipeline. The numerical results indicate that compared with conventional backfill with loose sand, the critical reverse fault displacement of the pipeline can generally be increased by over 100 % after using SAPC as the backfill material. Optimal pipeline performance is observed when the SAPC backfill length is approximately 60 times the pipeline diameter. Besides, a thinner overlying SAPC thickness will generally enhance the performance of buried steel pipelines under reverse fault movement.
