At present, the crude fluid-structure interaction analysis model cannot accurately characterize the interaction mechanism between aqueduct and water under earthquake action. In order to solve this problem, this paper analyzes the seismic response of the double-tank aqueduct under the action of earthquake by using the shaker test and the VOF (Volume of Fluid) method considering the free liquid level from the perspective of fluid-solid bidirectional coupling, explores whether the liquid movement in the double tank is consistent and the shock absorption effect of different water levels on the aqueduct, and analyzes the amplitude of free liquid level sloshing and the change of horizontal dynamic pressure caused by water level change from the generation mechanism of TLD (Liquid tuning dampers). The results show that the liquid movement in the two tanks in the double-channel aqueduct is basically the same under the action of earthquake, and the TLD effect of the liquid gradually increases with the increase of the water level in the aqueduct, and the maximum peak shock absorption rate is 63.4% at the maximum peak and 50.4% in numerical simulation. The shaking amplitude of the liquid is positively correlated with the water level height, and the magnitude of the shaking amplitude also reflects the magnitude of the moving water pressure.

With the advancement of building technology, the pile-plate structure, which originated in railway engineering, has been adopted into highway engineering. This study presents a new pile-plate structure connecting node. The addition of energy-dissipating components at the nodes and the use of non-shrinkage concrete at the joints demonstrate its novelty. The node’s ability to enter the plastic stage is enhanced, resulting in increased seismic performance. In this study, the seismic performance and energy consumption capacity of the pile plate joint were studied by numerical model, and the results showed that the stagnation curve of the pipe pile under low cycle reciprocating load was full and had good energy consumption capacity. Under the action of random seismic vibration, the displacement of the pile plate structure in one direction is up to 0.023m, which meets the requirements of the specification. The innovative pile-plate joints are used in a nonlinear dynamic time-history analysis of the constructed bridge structure.
The rainfall often causes changes in the physical performance of the embankment, which leads to disasters such as embankment collapse and road surface settlement and cracking. Past research has tended to be limited to traditional embankment seepage models and is mostly based on the assumption that surface precipitation is uniform and rainfall intensity is constant. To adapt to the changes and development of the times, based on the water leakage mode of the flexibly assembled highway embankment, a new rainfall calculation model of the reinforced soil embankment is constructed and combined with the solid-fluid coupling physics theory, the sedimentation amount and slope stability of the embankment are analyzed at multiple levels, the mechanical properties of the new embankment under rainfall conditions are summarized, the factors affecting the settlement of the embankment and the stability of the slope are explored, and the reference model is provided for the construction of the new embankment, and the existing construction process is improved through multilevel cause analysis. We improve and develop the existing theoretical system to reduce the probability of road diseases, improve the efficiency of road construction, and reduce the cost of road maintenance.
