Abstract:
Adopting a soft site model built on soft interlayer soil foundation , a shaking table test for soft interlayer soil-isolated structure interaction is conducted to investigate the seismic response of isolated structure on soft site, and analyze its isolation effect. Test results show that the test can reflect the earthquake response characteristics of isolated structure on soft site. It is on soft site that the dynamic characteristics of isolated structure, acceleration magnification factor (AMF) of isolated structure and isolation efficiency of the isolation layer differ from those on rigid foundation with an soil-structure interaction (SSI) effect, represented by the reduction in fundamental vibration frequency of isolated structure and the increase of damping ratio with changes of the SSI effect. SSI can either increase or decrease AMF of isolated structure on soft site, depending on the characteristics of earthquake motion input. Furthermore, the isolation efficiency of isolation layer on soft site is decreased with the SSI effect, which is related to the peak ground acceleration (PGA) and the characteristics of earthquake motion input.
