Abstract:
As urban rail transit progresses, subway stations must serve not just as transportation hubs but also fulfill additional urban functions. Integrated underground stations aim for intensive development, considering subway stations and their surrounding subterranean structures as a whole, with unified design and construction. This approach enhanced resource utilization and socio-economic benefits. Seismic environments of varying frequencies and amplitudes (0.1g to 0.5g) were simulated using waveforms recorded during the Wenchuan earthquake (main frequency 15.9 Hz), the Tangshan earthquake at Beijing Hotel (main frequency 0.7 Hz), and artificial waves (main frequency 5.2 Hz) provided by a construction site safety assessment report. Large-scale shake table tests were conducted to assess the seismic response of integrated underground subway station structures under different frequencies and peak ground accelerations (PGAs). The results are drawn as follows. The subsidence of the soil on both sides of the station structure and damage at the soil-structure interface. Soil acceleration response sensitivity to the Beijing Hotel wave increases with PGA. With PGA=0.3g as a threshold, the influence of the Beijing Hotel wave on the station structure is minor when PGA0.3g. Regarding the strain amplitude in the station structure’s columns, the top of the negative first-floor middle column registers the highest strain amplitude. The bottom of the negative third-floor middle column had the highest strain amplitude. Conclusions are as follows. (1) The soil-structure interface, where material stiffness changes abruptly, is prone to damage due to the softer soil. (2) Under low-frequency wave influence, the seismic response of the model system increases with PGA. (3) The top of the negative first-floor middle column and the bottom of the negative third-floor middle column are the most vulnerable to seismic activity. It is recommended that integrated underground subway stations prioritize seismic performance optimization at these locations during design and construction, especially in areas of high seismic activity. © 2024, Central South University Press.
