| Popis: | To avoid large deformation, resulting from liquefaction, in inclined and deeply deposited liquefiable soil, it is necessary to design economical and reasonable reinforcement schemes. A reinforcement scheme employing subarea long-short gravel piles was proposed, and it was successfully applied in the embankment construction of the Aksu-kashgar highway. To reveal its underlying mechanism and effect on the seismic performance of the highway, the dynamic responses of natural foundation and two kinds of reinforced foundations were analyzed and compared under this scheme, using the program FEMEPDYN. Results showed that both the seismic subsidence and the excess pore pressure ratios were far less in the foundation reinforced with isometric gravel piles and in the foundation reinforced with subarea long-short gravel piles, compared with that in natural foundation. Therefore, the potential hazards of liquefaction were overcome in these two kinds of reinforced foundations. Furthermore, it was obvious that the shielding region only formed within the foundation reinforced with subarea long-short gravel piles. With the shielding effect, the proposed reinforcement scheme employing subarea long-short gravel piles not only eliminated liquefaction in deeply deposited liquefiable soil, but it also demonstrated an outstanding advantage in that the total length of gravel piles used was greatly reduced compared to the total length in the isometric gravel piles scheme and the interphase long-short gravel piles. |
