Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of roadbed engineering technology, and in particular relates to a seismic design method for rigid panel reinforced soil retaining walls in railway engineering. Background Technology
[0002] Driven by breakthroughs in high-speed rail technology, the maximum operating speed of trains has increased to 350 km / h, and in the future, it will continue to move towards being "faster, more stable, safer, and more environmentally friendly." As a key load-bearing structure of the track, the optimization and upgrading of roadbed engineering plays a decisive role in ensuring the safe and stable operation of trains. Among them, rigid panel reinforced soil retaining walls have become an important structural form in roadbed engineering due to their significant advantages such as being eco-friendly, saving land, and having excellent seismic performance. This structure has achieved remarkable results in the construction of the Japanese Shinkansen, maintaining good performance even after undergoing multiple strong earthquakes, fully demonstrating its applicability in high-intensity seismic areas.
[0003] However, the application of this type of structure has long been limited in my country, especially in high-speed railway projects with large loads, strict deformation control, and extremely high requirements for line safety and durability. The design and selection of such structures have been cautious. The main reasons include: firstly, reinforced soil retaining walls are flexible structures that rely on the coordinated deformation of the panel, reinforcement, and backfill to achieve vibration reduction and energy dissipation. However, this deformation can cause significant displacement, affecting the smoothness and safe operation of the railway line. Secondly, existing reinforced soil retaining wall designs often use the allowable stress method, focusing only on strength and stability as control indicators, without clear deformation control standards and a lack of seismic design methods. With the accelerated expansion of railway projects into high-intensity seismic zones in western my country, to promote the large-scale application of reinforced soil retaining walls in these areas, it is urgent to construct a performance design method for reinforced soil retaining walls under seismic loading that integrates multiple performance objectives for coordinated control, combines strength and deformation standards, and is tailored to my country's specific railway conditions.

Directly applying deformation control criteria based on building structures to design roadbeds and retaining walls for earthquake resistance during major earthquakes lacks rationality. Therefore, for the seismic design of reinforced soil retaining walls, this design abandons traditional deformation control criteria and adopts strength control criteria, directly verifying its strength and stability under rare earthquake conditions. This ensures the structure achieves the seismic fortification goal of "not collapsing under major earthquakes," overcoming the limitations of the traditional anchoring wedge method under seismic conditions.

Detailed Implementation
[0062] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described below to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention. However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes are obvious as long as they are within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined and determined by the appended claims. All inventions utilizing the concept of the present invention are protected.
[0063] Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, this invention provides a seismic design method for rigid panel reinforced soil retaining walls in railway engineering, comprising the following steps: Determine the design conditions for reinforced soil retaining walls, including performance requirements for safety level, safety, usability, and repairability; Determine the structural type and materials of the reinforced soil retaining wall, and carry out the preliminary design of the reinforced soil retaining wall; Based on the double-wedge theory, the design value of the reinforcement strength and the resultant force behind the slab of the reinforced soil retaining wall are calculated. Based on the design strength values of the reinforcement materials of the reinforced soil retaining wall and the resultant force behind the slab, the safety, usability, and repairability of the reinforced soil retaining wall are checked, and the check results are obtained. Based on the calculation results, determine whether the reinforced soil retaining wall meets the performance requirements of the design. If so, carry out the detailed structural design of the reinforced soil retaining wall; otherwise, carry out the preliminary design of the reinforced soil retaining wall again.
[0064] Existing reinforced soil retaining wall design methods employ strength and stability control criteria. Internal stability calculations use the anchored wedge method, prohibiting reinforcement breakage or pull-out. External stability calculations treat the reinforced area along with the panel as a solid wall, performing sliding stability, overturning stability, and foundation checks, using gravity retaining wall design methods. However, existing reinforced soil retaining wall design methods lack clear structural deformation control standards and calculation methods, and also lack seismic design checks. This invention, starting with millimeter-level deformation control of high-speed railway subgrades, draws on the three-level fortification concept in building seismic design, clarifying the performance requirements of reinforced soil retaining walls in terms of safety, usability, and repairability, and proposing corresponding performance indicators and check items. Based on existing rigid panel reinforced soil retaining wall design methods for railway engineering, this invention optimizes the safety level classification of reinforced soil retaining walls, proposes a design principle based on dual strength and deformation control standards, and establishes a graded control standard for track top surface settlement directly related to train speed, realizing a system transformation from single strength control to multi-performance target collaborative control.
[0065] Before designing reinforced soil retaining walls, it is necessary to determine the performance design system, including: (1) Clarify the basis for classifying the safety level of reinforced soil retaining walls; (2) The performance requirements of reinforced soil retaining walls are divided into safety, usability and repairability, and the performance requirements of reinforced soil retaining walls under different load conditions are specified. (3) Set the corresponding performance check items and corresponding performance indicators according to the performance requirements of reinforced soil retaining walls; (4) Determine the corresponding control equations for the verification based on the performance requirements of the reinforced soil retaining wall in terms of safety, usability and repairability; (5) Formulate standards for classifying the deformation and damage levels of reinforced soil retaining walls to determine the performance status of the structure.
[0066] In one embodiment of the present invention, the rigid panel reinforced soil retaining wall is suitable for roadbed retaining engineering in areas with limited land use, weak foundations, and earthquakes. The wall height should not exceed 10m. According to the panel construction process, it can be divided into integral rigid panel reinforced soil retaining walls and composite rigid panel reinforced soil retaining walls, etc. According to my country's "Unified Standard for Reliability Design of Railway Engineering Structures (GB 50216-2019)," the structural safety level is divided into three levels based on the severity of the consequences of its failure: Safety Level I, Safety Level II, and Safety Level III, as shown in Table 1. Table 1
[0067] The performance requirements for reinforced soil retaining walls are divided into safety, usability, and repairability. Safety refers to the ability of the reinforced soil retaining wall to resist instability, damage, and collapse within its design reference period. It must maintain necessary overall stability during and after accidental events specified in the design, preventing collapse or progressive failure, and avoiding overall failure caused by the damage of individual components or localized areas. Usability refers to the good working performance of the reinforced soil retaining wall under normal service conditions, preventing excessive deformation that affects train operation or structural deterioration and damage that would cause user anxiety. Repairability refers to the ability of the reinforced soil retaining wall to restore its intended function and safety performance after damage caused by factors such as material deterioration, construction defects, and external forces, through technically feasible, economically reasonable, and timely intervention measures. This minimizes the impact of structural failure, extends the structural service life, and ensures that the performance after repair meets design standards. The performance requirements of the reinforced soil retaining wall in this invention incorporate the three-level seismic fortification objectives of architectural design—no damage in minor earthquakes (frequent earthquakes), repairability in moderate earthquakes (fortification earthquakes), and no collapse in major earthquakes (rare earthquakes). The performance requirements of the reinforced soil retaining wall are shown in Table 2: Table 2
[0068] In one embodiment of the present invention, when performing performance checks on reinforced soil retaining walls, corresponding performance check items should be set according to performance requirements, and each performance check item should have a corresponding performance index. The performance check items and performance indexes are related to structural damage, deformation, and failure modes. Structural damage mainly involves damage to the panel and reinforcement, while deformation mainly involves the horizontal displacement of the panel and the vertical displacement of the surface layer. Referring to Table 2, the performance check items and corresponding performance indexes for reinforced soil retaining walls under different combinations of loads are shown in Table 3. Table 3
[0069] Among them, the action combinations are: ① permanent action; ② permanent action + train load; ③ permanent action + variable action (construction / maintenance load); ④ permanent action + train load + frequent earthquake; ⑤ permanent action + train load + design earthquake; ⑥ permanent action + train load + rare earthquake.
[0070] In one embodiment of the present invention, the reinforced soil retaining wall should be reasonably classified into deformation and damage levels, namely deformation level and damage level, to determine the overall performance status of the structure and its components, assist in maintenance and repair decisions, and extend the service life of the structure. Based on the requirements of train operation for track smoothness, the overall performance of the reinforced soil retaining wall should be judged using surface settlement indicators. Based on the magnitude of surface settlement, it is divided into four levels: normal operation, reduced speed operation, maintenance stoppage, and demolition and reconstruction. The performance status of structural components is classified using damage levels. Specific damage indicators are determined based on the materials used in the components and their functions. The panel damage indicator is determined by combining stress and crack size, while the reinforcement damage indicator is determined by combining strength design value and strain. The specific classifications are shown in Table 4 below. Table 4
[0071] Meanwhile, this invention, referring to existing railway engineering subgrade design methods, has formulated track top surface settlement control values that meet train ride comfort requirements, as shown in Table 5 below: Table 5
[0072] Based on the performance design system, the seismic design of rigid panel reinforced soil retaining walls for railway engineering is carried out. In one embodiment of the present invention, the tensile strength, pull-out strength and resultant force on the back of the reinforced soil retaining wall are calculated based on the double wedge theory. like Figure 2 The diagram shown is a calculation diagram based on the double wedge theory. Figure 2 (a) is a calculation diagram. Figure 2 (b) is the force analysis of the wedge, where the force balance equations for wedge B are expressed as follows: The calculation expression is as follows:
[0073]

The characteristic value of tensile strength of a single reinforcing bar. The tensile strength of a single reinforcing bar. Let B be the length of the sliding surface of the wedge. Let F be the sliding surface length of the wedge. The reinforcing material, or stiffener, should preferably be selected with low creep, high interfacial friction, and good wear resistance and durability. The expression for the tensile strength of the reinforcing material is as follows:
[0077] in, This represents the characteristic value of the tensile strength of the reinforcing bar. The standard value of the ultimate tensile strength of the reinforcing bar, as measured by a tensile test. The material correction factor is 1.0 for action combination ⑥ and 0.8 for the other action combinations. For material coefficients, the coefficient is 0.4~0.7 for action combination ①, 0.6~0.95 for action combinations ②③④⑤, and 0.7~1.0 for action combination ⑥. The pull-out reduction factor for the reinforcement is 0.50 for action combination ①, 0.67 for action combinations ② and ③, 0.80 for action combinations ④ and ⑤, and 1.0 for action combination ⑥.
[0078] The pull-out strength of reinforced soil retaining walls is determined by factors such as the anchorage length of the reinforcement, the contact area and friction coefficient between the soil and the reinforcement, and the overburden pressure on the reinforcement. The expression for the pull-out strength of the reinforcement is as follows:
[0079] in, For the pull-out strength of the reinforcing bar, This is the pull-out reduction factor for the reinforcing steel. For the filling material and the load on the top of the wall acting on the first Total vertical stress on the reinforcement layer For the first Length of anchorage section of layered reinforcement For the cohesive force of the filler, The angle of friction of the packing material is denoted as φ.
[0080] The total vertical stress on the reinforcing member is calculated using the following expression:

The vertical stress on the reinforcing steel caused by strip loads such as tracks and trains acting on the roadbed surface. For the packing density, This is the vertical distance from the top of the wall to the reinforcing steel. Vertical stress on reinforcement of reinforced soil retaining wall by top backfill, track and train loads. The calculation diagram is as follows Figure 3 The diagram shows the vertical pressure on the reinforcement of a reinforced soil retaining wall. The calculation expression for converting the backfill at the top of the wall into an equivalent uniformly distributed backfill load is as follows:
[0082] in, The unit weight of the fill soil above the top of the wall. The slope ratio of the fill above the top of the wall. For the height of the wall, This refers to the height of the backfill above the top of the wall. This is the horizontal distance from the top of the wall, the toe of the embankment slope, to the back of the slab. Figure 3 middle, For the panel thickness, if At that time, take calculate; Vertical stress on reinforcing bars caused by strip loads such as tracks and trains acting on the roadbed surface The calculation diagram is as follows Figure 4 As shown, the calculation is based on the stress diffusion method, and its calculation expression is as follows:

Figure 4 middle, The vertical distance from the load to the reinforcing bar. The stress diffusion angle, This refers to the slope ratio of the fill above the wall top, and is based on the diffusion distance of the stress diffusion line. or ; Regarding the minimum reinforcement length requirements, Japanese standards are significantly lower than Chinese standards. This difference stems primarily from two reasons: First, my country uses the anchoring wedge method (mainly the 0.3 H method), which imposes high requirements on reinforcement length. If the reinforcement is too short, it becomes difficult to meet the mandatory requirements for pull-out stability in the specifications. Second, under identical conditions, for the same reinforcement bar, the tensile and pull-out strength design values calculated in Chinese standards are much lower than those in Japanese standards, resulting in a longer required reinforcement length under the same design conditions. The reinforced soil retaining walls designed in Japan have demonstrated excellent seismic performance and have not collapsed in numerous major disasters, including the Hanshin Earthquake (1995), the Niigata Earthquake (2004), and the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami (2011), proving the rationality of their reinforcement strength design value calculation method. In contrast, China's current method is derived from the anchored wedge method and uses "rare earthquakes" rather than "design earthquakes" to ensure structural safety. Continuing to use overly conservative calculation methods would lead to excessive redundancy in structural design. Therefore, the design value of reinforcement strength is calculated with reference to the Japanese method and related coefficients. However, considering the differences in the upper backfill, track, and train loads between the two countries, the total vertical stress acting on the i-th layer of reinforcement by the backfill and wall top loads is calculated.
