Abstract:The traditional dynamic modulus method for subgrade analysis provides results with high deviation because it mainly focuses on the seismic performance of a single roadbed and not the seismic performance of composite subgrades. A seismic test method for the subgrade analysis of Guangzhou Rail Transit Line 21 is proposed. After the analysis of geological conditions, the soil liquefaction of the original subgrade is assessed through the standard penetration test. On this basis, the Swedish strip method is used to test the seismic performance of the original subgrade. Results show that the liquefied soil of the subgrade has low safety and poor seismic stability. Thus, the composite roadbed should be reinforced. The seismic performance of the reinforced subgrade is tested through the circular sliding method. Experimental results show that the proposed method has strong antijamming performance and high accuracy.
