Comparative Analysis of the Influence of Slope Terrain on Characteristics of Horizontal and Vertical Ground Motion Response Spectrum

Abstract:

All previous earthquake damage show earthquake damage of the buildings on the slope is serious than the buildings on flat ground, so it is important to analyze of the influence of slope terrain on characteristics of horizontal and vertical ground motion response spectrum. The horizontal and vertical seismic elastic responses of 28 viscoelastic rocky slopes by white noises excited, with height of 10m to70m and slope of 15°to 60°, are calculated by numerical finite element analysis method. The influence laws of height and degree of slope on horizontal and vertical ground motion response spectrum and response spectral ratio are analyzed. The distribution laws of the corresponding period of the maximum of response spectral ratios are contrasted. The maximum of amplification factor of design horizontal and vertical ground motion for structures on rock slopes are given to be the references to code for seismic design of building structures.
