In addition, modification of the design methods of the foundations by studying the interaction among the fault rupture, geomaterial and foundation is a useful means to mitigate an earthquake hazard associated with soil structure interaction inducing by faulting Currently the approaches to investigate the near ground deformation due to reactivation of active faults can be categorized as (1) field investigation (2) laboratory testing and (3) numerical modeling. In order to break through the limitation of individual approach, field investigation, numerical modeling along with laboratory testing, including sand box experiments under both 1-g and centrifuge conditions (hereinafter referred to as centrifuge testing), will be conducted for characterizing and quantitating deformation induced by faulting in this study. The result of the first-year (2011) study shows that in aspect of field investigation, taking the Chushan trench which straddled the Chi-Chi ground rupture and its neighborhood as an example, the near-fault deformation features (including the widths of zone of fractures and shear zone on the ground and features on the walls of the trench) cannot be possibly recognized on aerial photographs or satellite images; however, some important topographic features (such as rough height of the fault escarpment, the direction of fault slip and the fault separation) formed during the earthquake remains even after more than ten years since the Chi-Chi earthquake. Through a compilation of sedimentary columns of the trench walls, the drilling cores from the nearby sites and the previous report on the soil tests, the deformed cover are composed by layers of sandy gravel and pebble-sized gravel, and alternative clayey and sandy layers. The description and classification of soils are different owning to the purposes of studies. Therefore, the description and classification for the sedimentary columns of the trench walls and geologically wire-line coring samples are quite different from the ones for the engineering drilling which emphasizes geotechnical classification and the mechanical properties of soils. This study has preliminarily tried building numerical models based on the concept of soil mechanics for simulating the features on the walls of the Chushan trench. In aspect of centrifuge testing, the effect of two factors, which are the thickness of the soil cover and its density is firstly explored on the extent of fault-induced deformation and the location of fault trace on the ground in the light of previous studies. The preliminary result of the first-year (2011) centrifuge testing shows that under both centrifuge 1- and 10-g conditions for faulting with a fault angle of 60° the extent of severe change of the soil-top elevation is approximately equal to the thickness of overburden soils; however, the variation on the relative density of soils doesn`t affect much on the extent of severe distortion of the ground. In the future an integrated testing result of relation between normalized ground surface uplift and normalized distance in reference to the location of fault trace on the ground surface will be built to provide a prediction on the vertical component of fault separation and the uplift in any position on the ground surface. In aspect of numerical modeling, a discrete element method (PFC2D software), a finite differential method (FLAC software) and a boundary element method have been tried simulating the deformation in sand boxes and on the walls of trenches during the first year. Using the boundary element method, the relation of strain within a deformation zone induced by thrust faulting and its location in reference to the fault trace can be derived. Using the finite differential method (FLAC software), the distribution of stress within the overburden soil can be derived in any stage of thrusting faulting. Using the discrete element method (PFC2D software), the evolution of deformation within soil cover consists of multiple layers with a different mechanical property (pure sandy soil, pure clayey soil or layered soil) is observable with the increase of fault slip. The merit of boundary element method is its highly computing efficiency; however, its drawback is incapable of analyzing the interaction between soil cover and engineering structures because of its theoretical basis and assumptions. The merit of finite differential method is its abundance of analyses in previous studies and capable of analyzing soil-structure interaction. The merit of discrete element method is that its simulations closely resemble the deformation behaviors of clayey soil or sandy soil of the ground-surface cover and development of shear zone within, in addition to its potential to simulate growth faults and growth strata for multiple earthquake events. The target of this year is pined on the type of normal faults (Shanchiao fault) to investigate deformation behavior of the soil/rock mass straddled the fault trace (including initiation and development of the shear zone, and its affecting factors) and affected extent due to its reactivation. The centrifuge testing will be performed to gain insights on the deformation behavior of the soil/rock mass associated with faulting as well as the response of the foundation. Boundary conditions and parameter values for numerical models will be verified based on the configurations of the centrifuge testing and its resultant parameter values. Thus, full-scale numerical modeling can be carried out for studying the deformation behavior of the soil/rock mass and its effect on engineering structures. In consequence, reasonable safety indices can be suggested as safety assessment of buildings and infrastructure. Taking these different approaches, we anticipate to enhance our understanding on how propagation of fault-tip affects the width of deformation zone on the ground of the soil/rock mass and the spatial distribution of strain and stress within the zone. These analyses shall help us determine theoretical setback widths used to avoid the earthquake hazard due to distortion of ground induced by faulting. In addition, modification of the design methods of the foundations by studying the interaction among the fault rupture, geomaterial and foundation is another useful means to mitigate an earthquake hazard associated with soil-structure interaction inducing by faulting.活動斷層近地表變形離心機砂箱實驗土壤結構互制退縮距離減災工法active faultsnear-ground deformationcentrifuge testingsoil -structure interactionsetback widthhazard mitigation strategy活動斷層近地表變形特性研究(2/4)
