Abstract:
This paper aims to quantitatively study the impact of backfill and foundation pits on free-field ground motion. A finite element model for this issue is established based on the actual situation. Using the numerical simulation method of the concentrated mass explicit dynamic finite element, we analyze the effects of the shear wave velocity, the thickness of backfill soil, and the size of foundation pit on free-field ground motion. At the same time, the remodeling soil analysis models are established to analyze the effect of remolded soil on free-field ground motion. The results show that both the backfill soil and foundation pits can affect the free-field ground motion peaks and the values of response spectrum significantly. With the increase of the thickness of backfill soil and the depth of foundation pits, the influence is more noticeable. Replacing the backfill by remolding soil can reduce the effect of the backfill on the free field. The results can provide a basis for the rational use of the strong ground motion records on the backfill site and the construction of the strong ground motion observation stations.
