Περίληψη | Retaining walls are very frequently used in engineering practice to support, apart from soil layers,
structures founded on the retained soil layers. During a seismic event it is evident that the dynamic
response of each component of this complex system (i.e., wall, soil and structure) may affect
substantially the response of the rest and vice versa. This phenomenon, which could be adequately
described as “dynamic wall–soil–structure interaction” (DWSSI), is a rather complicated issue that
combines: (a) the dynamic interaction between the wall and the retained soil layers, and (b) the
“standard” dynamic interaction of a structure with its underlying soil layers. In the present study,
using two-dimensional numerical simulations, the impact of the wall flexibility and structure stiffness
on the dynamic response of the overall system is investigated. Emphasis is given on the relation
between the dynamic behavior of the overall system and the dynamic properties of each component
(one-dimensional soil layer-structure and wall-soil-structure). Primarily, the response of a simple
structure lying on a single infinite soil layer is investigated. Subsequently, a retaining wall is included
in the numerical models. A parametric study is performed in order to examine at what extend the
presence of the wall may affect the amplification factors of the various components, and consequently
the distress imposed on the structure (with respect to its position and its fundamental eigenperiod). In
addition, the eigenperiod of the soil-structure system is calculated via analytical methods. Despite the
fact that there exist many open issues to be resolved, the results of the current study provide a clear
indication of the direct dynamic interaction between a retaining wall and an adjacent structure.
Keywords: dynamic response, soil-structure interaction, amplification factor, soil spring. | en |
