Spatial Effect Analysis on Shaking Table Tests of Subway Station Structure in Soft Ground

Abstract:

Based on the test data of shaking table tests of subway station structure in soft ground under both near-field and far-field earthquakes, the spatial effects of peak ground acceleration (PGA) of soft ground as well as peak strain response of the subway station structure are analyzed. The results show that the peak acceleration of measuring points on both major and minor planes increases with the growing peak acceleration of earthquake. The law of PGA and frequency spectral character of measuring points on different observation planes or at different depth varies with each other, and there presents remarkable spatial effect. The peak strain of central cylinders on the major plane appears larger than that on the minor planes. There are sharp contrasts among the peak strain responses in different spatial positions of the station structure.
