Experimental Study of the Shaking Table Test and Dynamic Response of the Loess Slope Reinforced by Frame Anchors

  • EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS

Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

A large-scale shaking table experiment of loess slope supported by frame anchors with a 1:10 similarity ratio was designed and completed. By loading seismic waves of different types, acceleration peaks, and durations, the dynamic response laws of model slope under earthquake action were discussed, and the seismic performance of the supporting structure with frame anchors was evaluated. The test results show that the antiseismic effect of the supporting structure with frame anchors on the loess slope is significant. The test results can provide some reference for the seismic design of the supporting structures with frame anchors of loess slope.
