Study on Seismic Reduction Measures of a Diaphragm Wall—Underground Structure System

In this paper, the seismic reduction and isolation measures are first proposed by setting a segmented isolation layer between the diaphragm wall and the side wall of the station structure. Although the segmented isolation layer can effectively improve the stress state of the side wall and slabs, the seismic reduction effect of the middle column is not obvious. In order to improve the overall seismic performance of the station structure, the reduction measures by combining the segmented isolation layer and new type bearing of the middle column are then proposed. At the same time of inserting the isolation layer between the diaphragm wall and the structure, the sliding bearing at the top of the column is set up to reduce the vibration. The results show that the segmented isolation layer can significantly reduce the internal force and damage at the top, bottom and side wall joints. In addition, the combined measures of segmented isolation layer and sliding bearing at the top of the column can effectively reduce the seismic damage of the middle column. The damage of the connection between the top plate, the middle plate and the middle column can be significantly decreased.
