Investigation of the Gas Station’s Structural Safety Under Subway Vehicle Induced Vibration
摘要
This paper focuses on a gas station adjacent to a subway line to evaluate the structural safety under the subway operation induced vibration. A three-dimensional vehicle-track-soil-gas station model was established based on the finite element method (FEM). Under the excitation force, the gas station structure’s vibration characteristics and transmission patterns induced by train operations were analyzed. The influence of train speeds, passing patterns, and track geometry deterioration on the vibration levels of the gas station was analyzed. The peak vibration velocity (PPV) of structural under the vehicle operation is calculated for this project, and field tests were conducted at several similar engineering sites for analogous analysis according to the relevant standards and codes. Results showed that as the vehicle speed increases from 80km/h to 160km/h, the gas station structure’s peak particle velocity increases by 0.25 mm/s. The structural vibration is within the safety limits with a certain margin for this site and other analogous test sites.
