[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a method for determining the acceleration distribution of a retaining wall, including: Determine the horizontal peak acceleration and characteristic period according to the area where the retaining wall is located, and then construct the design response spectrum based on the horizontal peak acceleration and characteristic period; According to the area where the target retaining wall is located, the horizontal peak acceleration A corresponding to the target retaining wall is determined by checking the "China Earthquake Motion Parameter Zoning Map" (GB 18306-2015).

[0022] According to the type of site where the target retaining wall is located, the characteristic period Tg of the design response spectrum is determined based on the corresponding relationship in Table 1.

[0023] Table 1: Relationship between site type and characteristic period Venue Type Category Ⅰ0 venue Ⅰ Class 1 venue Class II sites Category III sites Category IV sites Characteristic cycle 0.75 0.75 0.85 1.05 1.05 The design response spectrum is constructed based on the horizontal peak acceleration A and the characteristic period Tg corresponding to different site types: Where T is the natural oscillation period.

[0024] The design response spectrum is converted into power spectral density and then a random phase spectrum is generated using the Mersenne rotation algorithm; According to the approximate relationship between the design response spectrum and the power spectrum density function, the design response spectrum is converted into the power spectrum density: in, To control the angular frequency, , is the equivalent damping ratio of the retaining wall-fill system. The values are taken as 0.05 for concrete structures, 0.03 for steel structures, and 0.10 for wooden structures.

[0025] D is the duration of earthquake motion. The present invention explores the influence law by controlling the variable method, artificially setting Tg to 0.4s, r to 50%, and sequentially setting multiple simulation durations: 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 120s. Then, the power spectrum density is calculated as a function of angular frequency under different simulation durations, and these values are then fitted into a first relationship curve, such as Figure 2 As shown by Figure 2 It can be seen that as the duration D of the earthquake motion history becomes longer, the power spectrum density The lower the amplitude, the The impact of the overall trend can be ignored. From the perspective of structural seismic design safety, the higher the peak value, the stronger the seismic resistance. Therefore, defining D as small as possible is a safer consideration. In the process of structural dynamic analysis, the duration of natural wave acceleration history is usually longer, sometimes even exceeding 120s, while the duration of artificial seismic wave acceleration history fitting is usually not less than 30s. In summary, under the premise of meeting the minimum D value, the simulation duration with the largest peak value in the first relationship curve is selected as the seismic motion duration. In addition, from the perspective of structural seismic design safety and theoretical rigor, there may be some other unspecified impacts on the extreme values at both ends. Therefore, a conservative D=30s was selected.

[0026] r is the exceedance probability, to clarify r Similarly, the present invention explores the influence law through the control variable method, artificially setting Tg to 0.4s, D to 30s, r to 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60% in sequence, and then calculating the value of power spectrum density changing with angular frequency under different r values, and then fitting these values into the second relationship curve, such as Figure 3 As shown by Figure 3 It can be seen that as the exceedance probability r increases, the power spectrum density function The higher the amplitude, the higher the probability of exceedance. In the prior art, 0.15 is usually used, which is considered to be a highly accurate result. However, the design acceleration response spectrum is determined based on statistical averaging. Therefore, the average power density of each second relationship curve is calculated, and the simulation probability value corresponding to the second relationship curve with the largest average density is selected as the exceedance probability. In addition, considering the safety of structural seismic design and theoretical rigor, the extreme values at both ends may have some unspecified other effects. Therefore, the conservative value of r = 0.5 was selected.

[0027] Then, based on the Mersenne twister algorithm, a random phase spectrum is generated. First, a very large prime periodic sequence with a length of 2^19937-1 is created. Combining the bit mask operation and linear transformation of the state array, the Mersenne twister algorithm is used to extract values from the prime periodic sequence to generate a pseudo-random number sequence with high uniformity. The pseudo-random number sequence is then normalized to generate a normalized sequence with a uniform distribution in the interval [0,1). Finally, the generated normalized sequence is linearly mapped to the [0,2π) angular frequency domain to obtain a random phase spectrum. .

[0028] Random time history analysis is performed based on power spectrum density and random phase spectrum to obtain the acceleration distribution of the retaining wall.

[0029] The power spectral density above and random phase spectrum , substitute the horizontal random time history represented by the power spectral density function into the vertical distribution relationship of the retaining wall back to perform random time history analysis, and calculate the acceleration distribution a(z,t) of the back fill of the target retaining wall at depth z and time t.

[0030] in, The sampling interval of the angular frequency domain is 0.01π in the present invention, which is taken into account the efficiency of the numerical calculation process and meets the signal processing principle for Less than or equal to 2π / D; N is the number of sampling points, which is the bandwidth divided by the sampling interval get; is the angular frequency of the i-th sampling point; H is the height of the retaining wall, which is determined according to the actual project conditions; It is the shear wave velocity of the backfill of the retaining wall, and its value is determined according to the actual project conditions.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, under different working conditions, the calculation results of the present invention are compared and verified with the centrifuge vibration table test of the scaled model of the retaining wall. It can be seen from the figure that under the two working conditions, the curve changes of seismic waves 1 to 4 are very different. The curve of the method of the present invention is relatively stable and is less affected by external conditions. Therefore, it has higher accuracy and usually encompasses possible random results. Therefore, it also has the safety of seismic design.
