Abstract

In order to reduce the damage of liquefaction of aeolian sand along the Sichuan-Tibet railway, the dynamic response characteristics of saturated aeolian sand in the study area were discussed by using shaking table test. The results show that the macroscopic characteristics of saturated aeolian sand in the study area are subsidence, water flow and fracture. The displacement time history shows that the surface displacement increases with increasing the input ground motion acceleration. When the acceleration is small (0.1g), the vibration in the soil layer has an obvious tendency to enlarge continuously from bottom to top. With the increase of the acceleration (0.2g), the amplification trend basically disappeared. When the acceleration increases to 0.3g, the ground motion increases first and then decreases.
