Abstract

Mountain tunnel crossing a normal fault in seismically active zone is easily affected by normal fault slip and earthquake. It is necessary to study tunnel dynamic response under action of normal fault slip and earthquake. In this paper, a three-dimensional normal fault sliding device was designed, and a shaking table test was carried out to study tunnel seismic performance under normal fault slip. The results show that peak acceleration of lining is dominated by an existence of fault and direction of seismic excitation, not normal fault slip. And the incremental strains of lining in critical zone with 1.7 times fault thickness and centered in faults induced by normal fault slip and seismic excitation are larger than ones only by seismic excitation. And the incremental strains in critical zone increase with the increase of normal fault slip magnitude ranging from 0 to 2 mm. And normal fault slip results in a significant reduction of overall tunnel stiffness subjected to an earthquake. These experimental results provide a scientific reference for prevention and control measurement of tunnel damage under earthquake and normal fault slip.

摘要

穿越地震活跃带内的滑动活断层山岭隧道, 极易受到活断层滑动和地震作用。 研究断层滑动和 地震作用下隧道动力学响应很有必要。 本文设计了三维活断层滑动装置,通过振动台模型试验研究了 活断层滑动作用下隧道地震性能。 结果表明, 在断层滑动和地震共同作用下, 水平垂直隧道轴线地震 波引起隧道衬砌侧壁产生较大响应, 竖直方向地震波引起隧道衬砌拱顶产生较大响应,隧道衬砌加速 度响应值受断层滑动量影响较小。 水平垂直隧道轴线地震波引起的隧道断层段衬砌侧壁受拉应变较 大, 且随着断层滑移量的增加而增加, 其他位置拉应变较小。 竖直方向地震波引起的隧道断层段衬砌 拱顶和拱底外壁受拉应变较大, 且随着断层滑移量的增加而增加, 其他位置拉应变较小。断层滑动对 隧道整体刚度产生一定程度的影响, 使隧道的整体刚度在地震激励作用后,出现明显的降低。本文结 果可为隧道震害的防治措施及抗减震设计提供参考。
