Predictive modeling analysis of the degree and scope of damage impacts on villagers' self-built houses due to uneven unsaturated soil site vibrations induced by self-dropping heavy hammer percussive hole formation construction

When highways and railroads traverse rural residential areas where impact hole-forming construction vibrations tend to cause damage to houses, it is difficult to accurately assess the extent of vibration impacts on non-uniform unsaturated soil sites by conventional methods. Therefore, the research o...

description When highways and railroads traverse rural residential areas where impact hole-forming construction vibrations tend to cause damage to houses, it is difficult to accurately assess the extent of vibration impacts on non-uniform unsaturated soil sites by conventional methods. Therefore, the research objective of this manuscript is to propose a novel computational method to predict the range of vibration impacts induced by self-falling heavy hammer impact hole-forming construction on non-uniform unsaturated soil sites. It was also verified experimentally on the G8513 highway from Wudu to Jiuzhaigou. Firstly, the new method innovatively introduces a non-homogeneous gradient factor and constructs a logarithmic model of shear modulus variation along the depth gradient; secondly, the impact force is successfully coupled with the site non-homogeneity, and a system of partial differential equations for the vibration control of inhomogeneous unsaturated soil sites is established. Finally, the frequency domain analytical solution is solved by Hankel transform to reveal the vibration attenuation law of impact hole formation construction. The analysis shows that the non-uniform gradient coefficient affects the shear modulus growth rate. The surface velocity vibration amplitude of the site is the largest in the vertical direction, followed by the horizontal radial direction, and the smallest in the horizontal tangential direction. 15 m vibration is strong, and the damage of the civil structure house is serious, the damage of the brick structure house from 16 m to 30 m is general, the damage of the frame structure house from 31 m to 60 m is light, and the damage of the house from 61 m to 80 m is basically non-destructive. This research result solves the problem of assessing the impact degree of impact drilling construction vibration on residents' houses in the construction of G8513 highway, which has important practical value.
