Abstract: 
During earthquakes, the response of pile foundations in liquefiable sand reinforced by densification techniques is still a very complex dynamic soil-structure interaction problem. Two shake-table experiments were conducted to investigate the behavior of a reinforced concrete (RC) low-cap pile group embedded in liquefiable soils. Discussion is focused on the behavior of soil-pile-superstructure systems prior to and during liquefaction of the medium-dense and dense sand stratums, which are involved in restoring force characteristics at the superstructure and pile group effect%29&ck%5B%5D=abstract&ck%5B%5D=keyword'>pile group effect. The test results demonstrated a stiffness reduction and dependent nonlinear behavior appearing in the liquefied medium-dense sand; however, an overall stiffening response was observed in liquefied dense sand. The pile group effect%29&ck%5B%5D=abstract&ck%5B%5D=keyword'>pile group effect seemed insignificant in liquefied medium-dense sand, but was very significant in the liquefied dense sand.

两层土液化场地混凝土群桩基础动力反应振动台试验研究

目的:探讨中密和密实砂液化场地混凝土低承台群桩和地基动力响应存在的差异性,并揭示引起这种差异性的原因,以期获得加密后砂土液化场地混凝土低承台群桩和地基动力反应的基本特征与规律。
创新点:1. 利用振动台试验,成功实施中密和密实砂液化场地低承台群桩基振动台试验;2. 基于试验结果,对比中密和密实砂层液化场地群桩和地基的动力响应规律,考察两种液化场地条件下群桩效应基本特征。
方法:1. 通过对比白噪声扫频,获得中密砂和密实砂层液化场地下体系模态参数的差异性(图2和表1);2. 通过对比砂层孔压、加速度和位移(图3-8),获得中密砂和密实砂液化场地动力反应显著的差异性;3. 基于上部结构和承台的位移与加速度,讨论中密砂和密实砂液化场地上部结构动力反应与回复力特性(图9和10);4. 基于桩上记录的应变时程,考虑桩的非线性,反算混凝土桩的弯矩时程,对比两类场地群桩弯矩存在的差异性,获得两类场地对群桩效应的影响效应 (图12-14)。
结论:1. 密实砂液化场地加速度在砂层液化后未出现弱化现象,表现出明显的循环流动性,密实砂液化场地比中密砂液化场地刚度更大;2. 上部结构动力响应与砂土密实状态密切相关;3. 中密砂液化场地桩的最大弯矩发生在土层分界处,而密实砂液化场地中桩的最大弯矩发生在桩头处;4. 群桩效应在密砂层中更显著,而在中密砂层并不显著。
