Effect of Model Box Constraint in Shaking Table Test for Liquefaction Analyses of Loess Tunnels
摘要
The existence of a tunnel structure increases the liquefying potential of soils near the tunnel structure. Moreover, the shaking table test is an essential method for simulating the seismic response of underground structures. Considering the necessity of the above-mentioned liquefaction analysis for saturated loess tunnels, this study conducted analyses through the numerical simulation of a shaking table model to optimize the boundary conditions. The results revealed that it is necessary to consider the effect of the boundary conditions on the dynamic stress and static stress in shaking table tests conducted to analyze loess tunnel liquefaction. The vibration acceleration triggering soil liquefaction in actual sites may be obtained by modifying the mean ratio
