Vibration Characteristics of Dynamic Compaction and Safety Assessment in Hydraulic Fill Site

Abstract:

The ground vibrationin in LNG storage tank foundation reinforcement of Caofeidian industrial zone is studied. By the statistical analysis, frequency domain analysis and the law fitting based on dynamic compaction vibration observation records in the field, the attenuation law of ground vibrationin caused by dynamic compaction, the variation of amplitude (vibration velocity) changing with the frequency of tamping and the main frequency variation of dynamic compaction are shown. The safety assessment of vibration is made on the existing seawall and gas tank projects around the field to provide theoretical support for the selection of dynamic compaction parameters, which also makes up the researches on the similar ground vibration characteristics in China.
