A series of shaking table tests were carried out to investigate the seismic response characteristics of a multi-story subway station. Dynamic responses, including accelerations of the soils and the underground structure, layer drift, dynamic earth pressure, and lateral deformation of soils were recorded and analyzed. Several seismic characteristics of multi-story subway station structures are figured out. It is found that in addition to the racking deformation, the rotation vibration is observed for the multi-story subway station subjected to acceleration waves. From the viewpoint of frequency, the low-frequency component and high-frequency component of the acceleration response of the subway station represent the translation and rotation component of the multi-story subway structure, respectively. In addition, the rotation vibration of the deep-depth structure leads to the local squeezing and detachment from the surrounding soils alternately at both top and bottom ends of the sidewalls. This results in the hump-shaped distribution of dynamic earth pressure. The racking deformation of the multi-story subway station has a linear relationship with the dynamic earth pressure at a certain area along the sidewall, where the top of hump-shaped distribution of dynamic earth pressure is.

A retaining form of a shock-absorbing antislide pile is proposed for slope engineering. A flexible material (shock-absorption layer) is filled in front of an ordinary antislide pile, which is used to absorb a large amount of seismic energy, thereby decreasing the transmission of seismic energy to the antislide pile. The flexible material thus reduces the seismic response, hence improving the aseismic capacity of the antislide pile. To verify the seismic performance of the shock-absorbing antislide pile, a shaking table contrast test was conducted and the results were compared with those from an ordinary antislide pile. The test results show that the flexible material absorbs a portion of the seismic deformation of the slip mass, decreasing the final displacement of the shock-absorbing antislide pile compared to that of the ordinary antislide pile, thereby reducing the sensitivity of the pile body to the displacement. Under the same conditions, the acceleration response of the slope body at the same height is lower for the shock-absorbing antislide pile than that for the ordinary pile, with the seismic performance of the former being superior to that of the latter. Furthermore, the shock-absorbing antislide pile is similar to the ordinary pile in terms of the dynamic earth pressure distribution form of the pile shaft; however, its value is relatively smaller, and the former exhibits better dynamic stress performance than the latter. The test results should prove useful for aseismic design of slopes.

In order to investigate the effect of ground solidification method for reducing the seismic damage of caisson type quay-wall, a series of shaking table tests in 1g gravitational field were performed in terms of the shear strength and the improvement width of ground solidification. The main conclusions obtained from this study are as follows: 1) Ground solidification behind caisson type quay-wall is effective for reducing the seismic damage of caisson type quay-wall and, however, setting backfill stones in solidified ground is not useful for the stability of quay-wall in current experimental condition for this study. 2) For solidified ground with large shear strength, the seismic behavior of quay-wall sympathizes with solidified ground as if both of solidified ground and quay-wall are a combined structure. Consequently, the seismic earth pressure from liquefied sandy ground is absorbed by solidified ground reducing the seismic earth pressure to quay-wall. 3) A formula to evaluate the sliding safety of caisson type quay-wall with solidified ground is proposed considering the cohesive component of shear strength of solidified ground. Based on the proposed formula, the improvement width for ground solidification method can be reduced from a conventional width in current design code.
