Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of geotechnical earthquake engineering, and more particularly to a method for artificially synthesizing seismic waves in liquefied sites. Background Art

[0002] Due to a lack of original data on field earthquake liquefaction, the empirical formula for liquefaction identification based on the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) in the Code for Seismic Design of Buildings (GB50011-2010, 2016 edition) has certain limitations and local specificities. Therefore, it is urgent to understand site liquefaction from a new perspective and propose a new liquefaction identification theory to provide strong support for disaster prevention and mitigation in engineering fields such as seismic risk assessment of sand liquefaction sites, reinforcement design of foundations within liquefiable sites, and seismic design of various foundations and retaining structures within liquefiable sites. In 2004, Academician Hu Yuxian's team analyzed surface, subsurface, and vertical records obtained at the Wildlife liquefaction site during the 1987 Superstition Hills earthquake in the United States and proposed a liquefaction site identification method based on the Hilbert-Huang Transform. This method requires a large number of earthquake records.

[0003] At present, there are three main ways to obtain seismic waves: one is to directly use the seismic waves recorded by the strong motion instrument at the actual site; the second is to select the measured earthquake records with similar site conditions, and modify their spectrum by adjusting the acceleration amplitude and time scale to meet the seismic requirements of the actual site; the third is to fit the spectrum phase according to the specifications to produce artificial synthetic seismic waves.

[0004] While some typical strong-seismic signals can be used for site liquefaction analysis, the existing seismic signals still cannot meet the actual computational analysis requirements due to the significant differences between the site conditions in the area where the strong-seismic instruments are located and those in my country. Therefore, it is very necessary to artificially synthesize the seismic signals of liquefaction site earthquakes. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the defects and shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a method for artificially synthesizing seismic waves in liquefaction sites. The purpose of the present invention is to address the problem of lack of earthquake records that meet the requirements when using finite element software for seismic design of liquefaction site structures. A method for artificially synthesizing seismic waves with simple operation, good fit between the synthesized artificial response spectrum and the standard response spectrum, and high convergence accuracy is provided to overcome the shortage of samples in the existing seismic data and effectively fill the problem of lack of effective seismic waves when performing seismic design of liquefaction site structures.

[0020] More preferably, in step S2, each of the aforementioned seismic waves is decomposed to obtain a response spectrum of the seismic wave.

[0025] Further preferably, in step S4, the new seismic wave obtained in step S3 is subjected to empirical mode decomposition (EMD) to obtain amplitudes and frequencies of different modal waves of the seismic wave.

[0026] More preferably, the seismic wave expression obtained by EMD decomposition is as follows:

[0027] ;

[0028] in, is the amplitude, is the transient frequency, and t is the time.

[0029] Further preferably, in step S5, the frequencies of different modal waves are adjusted by introducing a phase method, specifically,
