Factors of seismic road damage.

FactorsClassificationFeatures

Highway classificationExpresswayBetter seismic performance
First-classBetter seismic performance
Second-class
Third-classFailure occurs more frequently
Fourth-classFailure occurs more frequently
Subgrade typeNo digging and no fillingNo damage
CuttingDestruction accounts for 26% of the total damage
EmbankmentDestruction accounts for 28% of the total damage
Half-filled and half-dugFailure occurs most frequently (48%)
Supporting and retaining typeReinforced retaining wall, prestressed cable, facing wallBeneficial to mitigating damage
Gravity-type concreteFailure occurs most frequently
Gravity-type wet masonryMore serious damage
NoNot conducive to mitigating damage

IIIIntensifying the damage slightly
IVIntensifying the damage
Slope height (h)0 mThe least number of damages occurred
0 m < h ≤ 15Less destruction occurs
15 m < h ≤ 40 m
40 m < h ≤ 120 mMore susceptible to damage
120 m < hMore susceptible to damage
Slope angle (θ)The least number of damages occurred
0° < θ ≤ 35°
35° < θ ≤ 65°Failure occurs most frequently
65° < θMore susceptible to damage
Protective measureNo, steening retaining wallNot conducive to resisting seismic, small quantity
Frame beam, precast blockBeneficial to seismic
Hanging net and guniting, safety netting systemCan resist part of seismic
Shotcrete, mortarNot conducive to resisting seismic
