Shock absorption analysis based on the tunnel-soil-surface building interaction system

Abstract

In order to apply damping technology to complex interaction system, a two-dimensional finite element-infinite element coupling model of tunnel-soil-surface building interaction system was established by ABAQUS. By analyzing the acceleration, displacement and stress response of key points of tunnel and surface buildings, the influence of the thickness and buried depth of the shock absorption layer on the damping effect of the system is studied when tunnel shock absorption layer (or foundation shock absorption layer) is set separately. And a combined shock absorption system is proposed for the complex interaction system, and the primary and secondary relationship of different factors on the damping effect is studied by orthogonal experiment. The results showed that: (1) setting up a tunnel shock absorption layer can significantly reduce the maximum principal stress of the tunnel and the acceleration of the surface building; (2) when the buried depth of the foundation shock absorption layer was 0 m, the damping effect was the best, which can significantly reduce the acceleration and relative displacement of the surface building; (3) The combined shock absorption system can achieve good damping effect under different seismic waves excitation and its damping effect was better than single shock absorption layer system.
