About Contemporary Seismic Analysis of Underground Structures

Abstract:

This paper is devoted to actual problems of seismic analysis of underground structures. Brief classification and overview of corresponding methods of analysis (force-based methods, displacement-based methods, numerical methods of seismic analysis of coupled system “soil – underground structure” and approaches to problems of soil-structure interaction) is presented. Special static finite element method with substructure technique for seismic analysis of underground structures is described. Dynamic soil-structure interaction system can be decomposed into three sub-structures: structure, near-field and far-field soil. The first stage of static finite element method is solving the free field shear stress, acceleration, velocity and displacement, when the moment that the relative displacement of the soil that the underground structure located in reaches the maximum. The second stage is computing of internal forces and parameters of boundary conditions. The third stage is construction of the static finite element model and imposing the loads and constrains computed at the second stage and then making a static analysis.
