Abstract:
Base on the shaking table model tests, the numerical simulations are further carried out to quantitatively study the seismic responses of weak interlayered slope with anchor-frame reinforcement. The amplification coefficient of peak horizontal acceleration increases non-linearly with elevation and the whiplash effect is observed evidently. However, the existence of weak interlayer changes the performance of elevation effect in the vicinity of interlayer and the isolation effect is observed under the scenario of large amplitude excitation. The positive and negative oscillation coefficients of peak earth pressure are basically equaled under small amplitude excitation. Under the lager amplitude excitation, however, the minimum response of earth pressure tends to zero (almost detached) and the maximum response of earth pressure reaches 4~7 times of static one. The WC wave is abundant with high-frequency component, whose predominant frequency is close to the natural frequency of slope. Therefore, the responses of slope acceleration and earth pressure under the excitation of WC wave are greater than other waves. The aforementioned seismic responses reflected by numerical simulations agree with the shaking table model tests in generally. In quantitatively, however, the amplification coefficient of peak horizontal acceleration at the top of slope and the positive oscillation coefficients of peak earth pressure are significantly greater than their counterparts from shaking table model tests. The shortcomings in shaking table tests, such as extra-strong design of similar material and the lack of instrumentation, should be improved in the further studies. © 2020, The Editorial Board of Journal of Basic Science and Engineering.
