Simplifi ed approach for design of raft foundations against fault rupture. Part II: soil–structure interaction

چکیده
This is the second paper of two, which describe the results of an integrated research effort to develop a four–step simplifi ed approach for design of raft foundations against dip-slip (normal and thrust) fault rupture. The fi rst two steps dealing with fault rupture propagation in the free-fi eld were presented in the companion paper. This paper develops an approximate analytical method to analyze soil–foundation–structure interaction (SFSI), involving two additional phenomena: (i) fault rupture diversion (Step 3); and (ii) modifi cation of the vertical displacement profi le (Step 4). For the fi rst phenomenon (Step 3), an approximate energy–based approach is developed to estimate the diversion of a fault rupture due to presence of a raft foundation. The normalized critical load for complete diversion is shown to be a function of soil strength, coeffi cient of earth pressure at rest, bedrock depth, and the horizontal position of the foundation relative to the outcropping fault rupture. For the second phenomenon (Step 4), a heuristic approach is proposed, which “scans” through possible equilibrium positions to detect the one that best satisfi es force and moment equilibrium. Thus, we account for the strong geometric nonlinearities that govern this interaction, such as uplifting and second order (P−Δ) effects. Comparisons with centrifuge–validated fi nite element analyses demonstrate the effi cacy of the method. Its simplicity makes possible its utilization for preliminary design.

Simplifi ed approach for design of raft foundations against fault rupture . Part I : free - fi eld
Over the past few decades, earthquake engineering research mainly focused on the effects of strong seismic shaking. After the 1999 earthquakes in Turkey and Taiwan, and thanks to numerous cases where fault rupture caused substantial damage to structures, the importance of faulting-induced deformation has re-emerged. This paper, along with its companion (Part II), exploits parametric results of ...
متن کاملGeotechnical Interaction of Piled Raft Foundations: Two Case Studies
Application of pile-raft foundations, which are known as “compound foundations”, is a suitable alternative in the case of heavy load structures. The interaction behavior of pile raft foundations makes these systems very complex to analyze. Different methods have been proposed to determine the bearing capacity of piled raft systems and distribution of loads between the components, i.e. pile grou...

Motivated by the observed (successful and unsuccessful) performance of numerous structures on top of, or immediately next to a normal fault that ruptured during the Kocaeli 1999 earthquake, this paper: (i) develops a two-step finite element methodology to study the propagation of a fault rupture through soil and its interplay with the foundation–structure system, denoted hereafter “Fault Ruptur...
متن کاملFoundation–structure systems over a rupturing normal fault: Part I. Observations after the Kocaeli 1999 earthquake
Triggered by reactivation of the strike-slip North Anatolian Fault, the disastrous Mw 7.4 Kocaeli (Turkey) earthquake also produced normal faulting in the pull-apart basin of Gölcük. Surface scarps from such faulting reached almost 2.5m in height. Several structures were crossed by the surface rupture. As expected, many of them either collapsed or were severely damaged. But, surprisingly, sever...
