Currently, it is mainly carried out through mapping, drilling, in-situ testing, wave velocity testing and other methods. However, mapping can only obtain qualitative information, thereby indirectly evaluating the vulnerability of the site; drilling and in-situ testing are similar, both of which have the characteristics of high cost and long cycle, and are difficult to implement in areas with complex terrain or small space, and the evaluation and judgment errors are large in areas with large lateral structural changes; wave velocity testing is difficult to implement in areas with thick overburden, and it is difficult to obtain accurate longitudinal wave velocity. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for assessing the vulnerability of an engineering site which has strong spatial applicability, reliable detection accuracy and low cost.

[0004] To this end, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A site vulnerability assessment method based on background noise includes the following steps:

[0008] A(f)=H(f) / V(f),

[0009] Among them, V(f) = Z(f) is the spectrum curve of the vertical component Z; H(f) is the spectrum of the horizontal component, which is expressed as follows,

[0010]

[0011] Where X(f) and Y(f) represent the frequency spectrum curves of horizontal components X and Y respectively;

[0014] S5, calculating the Z component background noise dispersion curve: calculating the surface wave dispersion curve at each acquisition point through the vertical component Z in the background noise signal; the calculation of the surface wave dispersion curve requires data from at least two seismographs and is calculated through a multi-channel comparison method:

[0015]

[0016] Where, E is the total dispersion curve spectrum, f and v represent the frequency and phase velocity respectively; n is the number of seismic traces, n≥2; is the dispersion spectrum of the jth track and the first track at different frequencies and phase velocities calculated by the signal comparison method, j>1;

[0017] S6, extracting the phase velocity corresponding to the dominant period: According to the dominant frequency f0 obtained in S3, the surface wave phase velocity v corresponding to the frequency f0 is picked up from the surface wave dispersion curve obtained in S5. R ;

[0018] S7, phase velocity-apparent velocity conversion: The surface wave phase velocity v is converted into R Converted to apparent velocity v s ,

[0025] S21, performing bandpass filtering on the background noise data;

[0026] S22, performing time normalization processing on the background noise data processed in S21 to balance the energy of signals with different frequencies.

[0027] Preferably, the effective frequency band range of the bandpass filtering in step S21 is 5-30 Hz.

[0028] The certain time mentioned in step S1 is at least 30 minutes. To ensure the signal-to-noise ratio, the acquisition time can be appropriately extended.

[0029] The criteria for site evaluation in step S9 are as follows:

[0030] When the vulnerability factor G < 0, the site strength is greater than that of the bedrock, and it is not easy to rupture, but attention should be paid to the situation of soft interlayers below the site;

[0031] When the vulnerability factor 0 < G < 1.0×10 -4 , the site vulnerability is poor and it is not easy to rupture;

[0032] When the vulnerability factor 1.0×10 -4 < G, the site vulnerability is strong and it is easy to rupture.

[0045] The evaluation method of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] See also Figure 1 The site vulnerability assessment method based on background noise of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0047] S1, site three-component background noise data collection:

[0048] According to the pre-designed observation system, three-component node-type seismographs are arranged at the site to observe the background noise data, and the seismic background noise data is blindly collected for a certain length of time. Generally, at least 30 minutes of noise recording is required. In order to ensure the signal-to-noise ratio, the acquisition time can be appropriately extended.

[0049] S2, calculate the three-component background noise spectrum ratio curve:

[0050] The original three-component background noise data is preprocessed, mainly including two items: (1) bandpass filtering, which is determined according to the engineering detection depth and the background noise frequency band range, generally 5-30 Hz is the effective frequency band range; (2) One-bit normalization, that is, time normalization of the signal to balance the energy of signals of different frequencies.

[0051] After preprocessing, the background noise signal is Fourier transformed to obtain the spectrum of the three-component signal, and the spectrum ratio is further calculated. The spectrum ratio curve is obtained by the following formula:

[0052] A(f)=H(f) / V(f),

[0053] Among them, A(f) is the spectral ratio curve, V(f)=Z(f) is the spectrum curve of the vertical component Z; H(f) is the spectrum of the horizontal component, which can be expressed as:

[0054]

[0055] Wherein, X(f) and Y(f) represent the frequency spectrum curves of horizontal components X and Y respectively.

[0056] S3, extract the superior frequency f 0 :

[0057] Extract the frequency corresponding to the maximum amplitude position in the spectrum ratio curve, that is, the dominant frequency f0, where the unit of f0 is Hertz (Hz). Figure 2 Shown is the spectral ratio curve for a certain site location, with the corresponding dominant frequency f0 being approximately 12 Hz.

[0058] S4, extract the site magnification factor:

[0059] The maximum amplitude corresponding to the superior frequency is the site amplification factor A h (f0); the site magnification factor is a dimensionless parameter; Figure 2 The site magnification factor A is shown h (f0) is approximately 0.62.

[0060] S5, calculate the Z component background noise dispersion curve:

[0061] The vertical component (i.e., Z component) of the three-component background noise is used to calculate the surface wave dispersion curve at each acquisition point. The calculation of the dispersion curve requires data from at least two seismographs and is calculated using the multi-channel comparison method:

[0062]

[0063] Where E is the total dispersion curve spectrum, f and v represent frequency and phase velocity respectively, n is the number of seismic traces (n≥2), The dispersion spectra of the jth (j>1) track and the first track at different frequencies and phase velocities calculated using the signal comparison method.

[0064] S6, extract the phase velocity corresponding to the dominant period: According to the dominant frequency f0 obtained in S3, pick up the surface wave phase velocity v corresponding to the frequency f0 in the surface wave dispersion curve in S5 R ,like Figure 3 shown.

[0065] S7, phase velocity-apparent velocity conversion:

[0066] Surface wave phase velocity v R - Apparent speed v s The conversion makes the velocity value closer to the actual shear wave velocity of the site:

[0067] v s =v R / sinθ,

[0068] Among them, θ is the propagation angle of the surface wave on the site surface, and the units of apparent velocity and phase velocity are m / s;

[0069] S8, calculate site vulnerability factor: comprehensive site amplification factor A h (f0), dominant frequency f0, apparent velocity v sCalculate the site vulnerability factor G:

[0070]

[0071] S9, evaluate the site according to the vulnerability factor;

[0072] When the vulnerability factor G < 0, the site strength is greater than the bedrock, and it is not easy to rupture, but attention should be paid to the situation of weak interlayers below the site;

[0073] When the vulnerability factor 0 < G < 1.0×10 -4 , the site vulnerability is poor, the strength is large, and it is not easy to rupture;

[0074] When the vulnerability factor 1.0×10 -4 < G, the site vulnerability is strong, the strength is small, and it is easy to rupture.

[0075] S10, repeat steps S1 - S9 to complete the calculation and evaluation of the vulnerability factors at all measuring point positions within the site.

[0076] S11, output the site evaluation report.
