Moving Load Analysis of Submerged Floating Tunnels
The concept of floating submerged tunnels becomes increasingly attractive idea to cross the straits. The structural solution in these bridges includes buoyancy force on tunnel body plus tension in mooring tethers. This paper investigates the effect of submergence on the dynamic response of submerged floating tunnels due to moving load. The inertial effect of the fluid on the submerged structure...
متن کاملTransient Response Analysis of a Submerged Floating Tunnel under Seismic and Wave Excitations
In this study, a numerical procedure is described for the transient response analysis of a submerged floating tunnel with reference of a designed tunnel in Japan. Tension legs seizing the tunnel are simply modeled by a spring elements and the tunnel itself is assumed by two rigid bodies between which a flexible joint is used. A recorded seismic excitation is used while the wave load is calculat...
متن کاملNonlinear dynamic response of floating piles under vertical vibration
This paper presents the influence of non-linearity on the dynamic response of floating pile foundation subject to vertical vibration. A detailed theoretical investigation of stiffness and damping parameters is made for floating piles with different shear modulus reduction ratio of the weak zone soil. The accuracy of the non-linear analysis for predicting the dynamic response depends upon the ch...
متن کاملEffects of Surface Geology on Seismic Motion
Site amplification factors at period ranges of 0.1-0.2, 0.2-0.3, 0.3-0.5, 0.5-1, 1-2, and 2-10 s were determined for 27 stations of KiKnet and K-NET in and around the source area of the 2008 Iwate-Miyagi Nairiku earthquake. The ratio of the geometric mean values of the two maximum horizontal amplitudes of acceleration and velocity at the uphole to that at the downhole is considered as the ampli...
متن کاملEffects of Surface Geology on Seismic Motion
The site response transfer functions using 1D layered velocity models based on microtremor array exploration in the Niigata area, Japan, were examined whether it would be possible to explain the estimated high-frequency site responses using observed earthquake records or not. Our results showed the site response transfer functions were relatively larger in the frequency over about 3 or 6 Hz tha...
