Numerical Analysis of Free Field under Horizontal Seismic Excitations

Abstract:

Based on Newmark-β gradual integration method and elastic-plastic mechanical theory, numerical analyses of the effects of soft soil depth and thickness on the characteristics of seismic response of free bank field with soft soil layers are conducted by using finite element program Midas/GTS. The numerical results show that the high frequency components of seismic excitations can be filtered and the low frequency components are amplified correspondingly when seismic waves are transmitted through the free bank field from the bedrock.
