    Japan Architectural Review   2022.11

    　More details

    In places prone to earthquakes, piles need to be designed to resist seismic damage. However, the characteristics of the soil significantly impact the seismic resistance of piles. Accordingly, in this study, shaking table tests and three-dimensional finite element analyses were conducted to investigate the seismic response and nonlinear characteristics of pile-soil springs of a structure supported by a pile group in granular soil on a sloping bedrock. The analytical experiments and simulation were conducted on a group of nine piles arranged in the shape of a square. The results showed that the constraint condition at the pile tip influenced the bending moment response of piles during large input motion, such as that observed during earthquakes. Furthermore, the pile location, direction of pile displacement, and depth was found to affect the influence of the sloping bedrock on the pile soil springs.

    Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering 159(2):107339   2022.8

    　More details

    In order to study seismic response properties and interaction mechanism of a frozen soil-structure dynamic interaction system in liquefiable soil, two shallow foundation structures with different natural frequencies were designed. By performing small-scale shaking table tests, dynamic response characteristics of two shallow foundation structures with different natural frequencies under seismic action were investigated in different freezing depths of the artificial-made frozen soil, and then a nonlinear finite element program was used to establish the dynamic coupling nonlinear calculation model of frozen soil-superstructure considering the gradient change of frozen soil stiffness and the inertial interaction of the superstructure, and the seismic response mechanism of frozen soil-structure nonlinear interaction system under the horizontal seismic excitation was explored further. The results show that the ground freezing restrains the seismic response of ground surface in some degree while increasing the seismic response of superstructure due to the decrease of interaction between frozen soil and structure, especially for the structure with a high natural frequency. Thus, the predominant period of ground, the dynamic characteristics of superstructure, the kind of seismic wave and the liquefaction degree of ground have great influences on the seismic response of a structure. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the influence of frozen soil on dynamic characteristics of a structure in frozen soil regions.

    　More details

    This study explored the seismic response of a house supporting base sides with a polymeric displacement control material and by magnetically levitating the foundation base. In this paper, we explore the possibility and efficacy of a seis-mic-isolated detached house as described above from both a shaking table experiment of model and three-dimensional finite element analysis. The seis-mic-isolated model showed stable response and its acceleration response was significantly reduced compared to the base-fixed model in the shaking table test. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was possible to simulate the experimental results. In the seismic response analysis of a full-scale detached house, the seismic-isolated model showed response reduction and its residual displacement was smaller than that of the sliding-base isolation model.

    　More details

    Seismic responses of various buildings are calculated by a three-dimensional (3D) linear method for examining the soil-building interaction based on an input seismic wave field in the reclaimed zone of Tokyo Bay in which ground motions include a considerable amount of surface waves. A seismic wave field means seismic waves propagate in a 3D medium. The method was recently proposed to adequately treat surface waves trapped by a deep (several kilometers) underground structure in a soil-building interaction system. First, seismic responses of a building were calculated at two soft-soil sites for three large earthquakes to understand the variations in building responses with reference to sites and earthquakes. Second, seismic responses of low-to high-rise reinforced concrete (RC) and steel buildings and wood buildings were compared at a soft-soil site for a large earthquake, evaluating the relative seismic risk of various buildings. Midrise RC and steel buildings shook more severely than low-rise and high-rise RC and steel buildings. Flexible wood buildings suffered extremely large interstory drifts, indicating the largest seismic risk. (C) 2017 American Society of Civil Engineers.

    Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering   82 ( 736 )   813 - 821   2017.6

    　More details

    This paper discussed the influences on soil resistance of a pile group caused by different soil properties and failure criterions. Nonlinear static analyses were performed using 3"dimensional finite element method. The major conclusions of this paper can be summarized as follows- 1) Under the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion, the strength of sand differs between triaxial compression and triaxial tensile. The difference determines the subgrade reaction of piles. 2) In the case of sandy soil subgrade reaction concentrates on front piles in a pile group. While in the case of cohesive soil, the concentration on front piles is softened by side piles.

    The dynamic nonlinear soil around each pile affects lateral load distribution and displacement of pile group. Therefore, shaking table tests were conducted to clarify the dynamic nonlinear behavior of soil around piles, and earlhquake response analyses were conducted to simulate the effect of the nonlinear soil-pile interaction system on response of the superstructure supported by pile group. The obtained result of these shaking tests and analytical studies are as follows
    1) Bending moment at each pile head depends on the location of each pile in pile group, 2) Lateral subgrade reaction around piles depends on the location of each pile in pile group, 3) Proposed lumped mass model well represents response of the superstructure and pile group.

  • Seismic Response Characteristics of a Building Supported by Pile Foundation in Frozen Soil Based on Shaking Table Test Reviewed

    JOURNAL OF EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI   10 ( 2 )   2016.6

    　More details

    This paper focuses on the influence of frozen soil on seismic response of a building supported by pile foundation. Firstly, the saturated sand soil is frozen artificially, and then shaking table tests are conducted. Specifically, seismic responses of buildings with different natural frequencies and with different freezing depths of the saturated soil are investigated, respectively. In this study, it is confirmed that for buildings with high rigidity, the effect of interaction becomes smaller when the soil is frozen. Moreover, it is observed that the resonant frequency of frozen ground is closer to the natural frequency of superstructure, and thus the response of the superstructure becomes larger. It is also observed that the bending moment along the pile is remarkably reduced by improving the rigidity of the soil.

It is obtained that strong nonlinearity of ground around piles or improved soil affects the response of superstructure and pile stress. Especially, the strong nonlinear behavior of ground around improved soil changes the response of superstructure and the lateral resistance of piles.

    When large earthquake beyond the input level in the aseismic design occurs, a base-isolated building may collide with surrounding retaining wall. Then superstructure and base isolator are severely damaged and the building doesn't keep its performance. To address this subject, we study response of a base-isolation building in collision including oblique impact to retaining wall. This paper discusses experiments of base-isolated building model taking oblique collision into account. Based on the results of experiments, we analyze oblique collision in detail by 3D-FEM. Furthermore response of a real-scale base-isolation building is studied when building collides with retaining wall. As a result of these studies, we show the influence of oblique collision on response of base-isolation building, retaining wall and surrounding soil during extra-large earthquake.

Themajor findings obtained from this study are summarized as follows
    1) The test results are precisely simulated by the 3-dimensional finiteelement analysis 2) the slip and separation behavior between the pile and the soil do not affects the seismic behavior of pile structures verymuch, so the test results are simulated by winklerian model analysis 3) the plasticity of pile cap emphasizes the influence of the grounddisplacement subjected to pile on ductility ratio at pile.

    This paper presents the simulation analysis about damage of structure supported by pile subjected to very large seismic motion during the 1995 Hyogoken-Nambu Earthquake by 3D-FE analyses considering an effect of non-linearity between pile and soil. The input motion is evaluated by the observed record and 2D-FE analysis using the deep irregular underground model with vertical discontinuity. The major finings obtained from analyses are summarized as follows:1) the FE analysis can simulate the distribution of damage of pile cap in the observation in which the pile in group of 2 piles was damaged heavily, 2) In the instance, the subgrade reaction for pile in group of 2 piles is larger than in group of 3 or 4 piles, furthermore the subgrade reaction for pile in group of 3 or 4 piles is affected by the behavior of the adjacent building and decreases. These may be causes of the distribution of damage of pile cap, 3) the pile cap damage in the instance may be caused by the piles were subjected to the very large inertial force and the ground displacement at the same time.

    In this paper, a risk monitoring of buildings for natural and man-made hazards mitigation is discussed. Ubiquitous monitoring using a network of wireless sensors is one of the most promising emerging technologies for this purpose. Recently, a smart sensor based on the Berkeley mote platform was introduced, and application to the next generation of structural health monitoring and control was proposed (Spencer et al. 2002, Spencer 2003). Herein, the performance of the latest version of the "mote", called MICA mote, is investigated through shaking table tests of a two story steel structure. The MICA mote as a wireless acceleration sensor is shown to have sufficient performance for the intended purpose.

    A monitoring technology is desired for checking structural health or damage. Fiber optics is considered to be a promising technology This paper describes an application of a Brillouin Optical Correlation Domain Analysis (BOCDA) system, that is capable of high spatial resolution and dynamic strain sensing, to structural health monitoring. With this system, more detailed information on structural health can be obtained relating to material strain than with customary techniques. For application to structural health monitoring, we conducted a building model experiment to check the performance of the BOCDA system. The model's dynamic strain response to earthquake waveforms was investigated using a BOCDA system. Readings from the system were in good agreement with strain gauge readings. We confirmed the occurrence of residual strain and deformation under the natural frequency caused by the damage. The BOCDA system shows high potential for dynamic strain measurement in structural health monitoring applications.

    　More details

    Dynamic centrifuge tests were performed on a four-pile group foundation model embedded in saturated sand deposits and subjected to centrifugal acceleration of 45g. A lateral loading test at the pile head was also performed to study the inertial effects of the structure. Correlation analyses using a beam element model with nonlinear interaction springs taking into account the effective stress were conducted to investigate the bending moment of the pile and the interaction springs during strong earthquakes. The test and analytical results indicated that the excess pore water pressure was generated mainly by earthquake motion of the sand layers. The pile bending moments are greatly affected by the inertial force of the structure, and the effect of the inertial force of the structure reaches deeper in the pile due to the generation of excess pore water. The nonlinearity of both shear and lateral soil springs are remarkably affected by the generation of excess pore water.
