ABSTRACT

A method is proposed under the quasi-two-dimensional free fieldconditions to evaluate the elastic surface strains arising from spatialvariability of the soil property (ground predominant frequency) of asurface layer subjected to shear waves incident vertically from belowthrough a semi-infinite firm ground. The variability is described interms of a random function of the space variable characterized by meanvalue, variance and correlation distance. Applying the method, thestrains are evaluated for the metropolitan Tokyo area on the basis ofthe local soil conditions, and a reasonable correlation has been estab­lished between such strains and the damage statistics collected on theunderground water supply pipelines under the 1923 Kanto Earthquake.

1. MODEL FOR GROUND AND INCIDENT WAVES

A surface layer of depth H resting on a semi-infinite firm groundas shown in Fig. 1 is considered. A plane shear wave u with the onlynon-zero displacement component u in the x direction iso incidentvertically to the surface layer from below.

solution to this boundary value problem can be given in terms of com­Dinations of incident, reflected and refracted-waves as

with A being real, the displacement at the ground surface, u(H,t),can beowritten as

with VI = I~l/Pl and ~2 = 1~2/P2 being the shear velocity of thesurface layer and the f1rID ground, respectively.

If we define the amplification factor M as the ratio of theamplitude of u(H,t) to that of the incident wave, then

Using the following relationship among wave number kl

, depthH of thesurface layer and frequency f = w/(2TI) of the incident wave

(12)

we plot in Fig. 2 the amplification factor M as a function of H/(V1T)with a = 1/3. Figure 2 exhibits peak values of 2/a at N/(V T) = 1/4,3/4,5/4, •••• andtrough values of 2.0 at H;!(VlT) "" 0,1/2,1,372, •• _.Therefore, the frequency values f = Vl /(4H), 3V

may be-interpreted as the predominant frequencies of the ground givenV and H. When the damping and nonhomogeneity (along the depth oralong the shear beam) of the soil material are taken into considera­tion to reflect the reality more closely, the amplification factorexhibits a rather irregular shape as a function of the frequency ofthe incident wave usually with identifiable peaks at two or threefrequencies, higher peaks at smaller frequencies. The predominantfrequency of the ground under these circumstances may be definedas the mean of such frequencies weighted on the magnitudes of thecorresponding peak values.

For the purpose of the present investigation, however, we con­sider that the predominant frequency f

When the spectral density S (W) is used in Eq. 15through Eq. 18, the displacement u(H,t) at the g~ound surface becomesa stationary Gaussian process with zero mean and the variance equal to

2. VARIABILITY OF THE SOIL PROPERTY

.Referr.ing to· Fig. 1, ~nsider an·underground pipeline horizon­tally placed along the x-direction and extending across a verticalinterface perpendicular to the x-axis which separates the surface layerinto two elastic media of different elastic constants. A recent study(3)conc1udes that extensive stresses and strains arise in such a pipe­line at the point of interface under the type of incident wave asdescribed in the preceding section. This indicates a possible highsensitivity of pipeline stresses and strains to the variability of thesoil property along the pipe axis. Therefore, the present studyprimarily investigates the effect of the variability of soil propertyalong the direction of pipe axis on the extent of earthquake-induceddamages of underground pipelines. For this purpose we interpret thevariability as a random function of x disregarding at this time thevariability in the z direction.

To be specific, we assume that the predominant frequency f p isa random function of Xi f = f (x). Because of Eq. 13, this imp~ies

that the shear velocity vi of Pthe surface layer is also a random func­tion of Xi VI = VI (x). As a first approximation, it is assumed thatthe predominant frequency is a stationary Gaussian process with

The normalized autocovariance function ~(~) is plotted in Fig. 5while the spectral density G(k) with L = 100m in Fig. 6. The physicalsignificance of L in Eqs. 24 and 25 is quite important; L has thedimension of length with a smaller value implying a shorter distancein which the correlation disappears. In the present study, the param­eter L is called the "correlation distance" for convenience. If thedegree of uniformity or homogeneity of the surface layer is termed"smoothness" as some researchers prefer, then the larger the correla­tion distance, the smoother the layer.

Although the correlation distance L does indicate the extent ofthe soil property variability as seen above, it is neither a directnor familiar measure with which the degree of earthquake-induceddamage of the underground pipelines can be associated. In the presentstudy, the intensity of the surface strain (to be defined in thefollowing section) that strictly results from the property variabilityof the surface layer is used as the measure of such variability to becorrelated to the damage statistics.

the boundary condition, however, au/az is always zero on the groundsurface. On the other hand, the strain au/ax with u given in Eq. 29is non-zero since the variability exists in the surface layer soilproperty. Therefore, ou/ox strictly reflects the degree of theproperty variability and can conveniently be used as its measure.It is recognized that the surface strain thus obtained is not arigorous solution but an approximate quasi-two-dimensional solutionsince Eq. 29 is derived on the basis of the shear beam assumption.We believe, however, that the approximation is reasonable and justifiedfor the kind of analysis being pursued here.

4. CORRELATlON BETWEEN THE SURFACE STRAIN AND THE DAMAGE STATISTICS

In one of the recent Japanese studies (4) , the ground predominantfrequencies are evaluated at the nodal points of a grid of meridiansand parallels (both at intervals of lkm) covering the Tokyo metro­politan area. The evaluation is made based on the soil conditions atthe nodes under the shear beam assumption, and for each area elementof lkm2 , the average f* and the standard deviation a; of the pre­dominant frequency are computed using the frequencies evaluated atits four corners.

The study then examines the (old but still valid) statisticstaken on the underground water supply pipeline system which was inservice at the time of the 1923 Kanto Earthquake and counts the numberof pipe breaks and leakages in each area element resulting from thesame earthquake. These numbers are divided by the length (in km) ofthe pipelines in each area to obtain the "break damage index" D orthe "leakage damage index." Furthermore, the study correlates f* anda; to D by dividing the f* and 0; space into the following four regionsas shown in Table 1.

Table 1.Break Damage Index for Four Regions

* * -f af D

I 1.5 - 3.5 0 < 5.1

II 3.5 _ 4.5 0 _ 1.15 2.6

III 3.5 _ 4.5 1 ..1.5 < 13.3

IV 4.5 5.5 o < 2.8

The quantity D in Table 1 indicates the average value of D in eachregion. Table 1 shows that region III produces the worst damagestatistics while region I the second worst. The damage indicesassociated with regions II and IV are much smaller than that withregion III.

These Japanese data implicitly assume that the variation of thepredominant frequency is two-dimensional, Le. i f p= fp(x,y) with ybeing the axis perpendicular to the x-z plane in Fig. 1. Althoughit is not extremely difficult to deal with such two-dimensionalrandom processes, as done in Ref. 5, the level of analytical sophis~

tication and the amount of numerical effort required to do so wouldbe rather inconsistent with the quality and quantity 6f pertinentfield data available at this time. Therefore, in the presentinvestigation, we deal with the case where the predominant frequency fpvaries only in the x direction, i.e., £0= tp(x) (thus producing onlythe strain au/ax on the ground sU~face) and where ~is evaluatedalong the x axis at equal intervals of 1 kID. We then consider a one­dimensional equivalent of the Japanese study such that the predominantfrequency in each interval of 1 km varies as a random process f (x)characterized by Eqs. 22 - 25, with a value L common to all the p

intervals but with a set of values of ~f and a unique to that interval.Under these circumstances, we consider as a first approximation that~f and af to be used for an interval are equal respectively to thesample mean and the sample standard deviation obtained on the basis ofthe predominant frequencies evaluated at both ends of that interval.

When L = 300 m and v, = 50 rn/sec, we obtain Fig. 9 which, d' h m1n ,1n 1cates t e root mean square (RMS) surface stra1ns at various com-binations of ~f and af; ~f = • 75 f 1.25, 1. 75 ".'00,6.75 Hz and a = .125,.375, 0625, ••. , 3.125 H. Purely for the purpose of establis~ing thetrend, we assume that aZparticular combination of f* and a* under theassumption of two-dimensional variation of fp will produc~the sameRMS surface strain as those obtained in Fig. ~o We then use Fig. 9 inconjunction with the Japanese data(4), particularly with those givenin Fig. 10 which show the numbers of the area elements of lkm-having indicated combinations of f* and a

Wwith blanks implying zero;

f * * f= .75, 1.25, 1.75, ..• , 6.75 H~ and af

= .125, .375, .625, •.. ,3.125 Hz.-lThese values are the same as for ~ and a.) Thus, the~f(f*) - af«(1~) plane in Fig. 9 can be divide~ into ~our regions,I, II, III, and IV as defined in Table 1.

The weighted averages of the RMS surface strains within regionsI-IV are then computed with the numbers shown in Fig. 10 as weight.These averages, .which will be referred to as the "regional RMS surfacestrains," are also shown in Fig. 9. The same computations arE" repeatedfor L = 500m, 800m, I.,.OOOmand 2,OOOmresulting in five sets offour regional RMS ~urfacestrain values as indicated in Fig. ll(a) interms of a bar graph. Figure ll(a) shows that the regional RMS surfacestrains are larger for smaller values of L within individual regionsas expected, and that the largest value is observed in ~egion III, thesecond largest in region I, the third in region IV and the smallest inregion II for the same value of L. The latter result exhibits thesame trend observed in the Japanese data(4) in Table 1 and Fig. ll(b)demonstrating how the break damage index depends upon the region. Thetrend is even more similar if we consider the following: assuming alarger value of L for region I than for other regions may be moreappropriate since the soil conditions of region I are generally thoseof alluvium and are expected to be more homogeneous than in otherregions where the loam generally combined with the river valley humicsoil dominates. For example, take the RMS values associated withL = 500m for region I while the RMS values with L = 300m for otherregions, and observe how closely the results compare with that ofFig. ll(b).

The observations made above appear to suggest that a significantcorrelation exists between the free field surface strain and thedamage index.

5. CONCLUSION

The surface strains due to the random spatial variability of thesoil property are evaluated under the quasi-twa-dimensional assump­tions. The strains are compared with the earthquake-induced damagestatistics based on a field study on the underground water supplypipelines in Tokyo. The comparison indicates that a reasonably goodcorrelation exists between these strains and the degree of the damage.This investigation is currently being extended so that the free field
