College of Civil Engineering, Hebei University, Baoding, Hebei, China. Hebei Academy of Building Research, Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China Corresponding author: Ding Jihui (dingjihui@1.com) Abstract: The cement-fly-ash-gravel (CFG) pile composite foundation is designed with. m pile length, 35 mm pile diameter and 1. m pile spacing, and the dynamic characteristics of CFG pile composite foundation and the rules of the dynamic response are studied through the field blasting experiment. The experiment shows that under the same conditions of the source of vibration location and heap load, within the scope of the composite foundation, the peak acceleration of each test points are decreased obviously and the site of the CFG pile composite foundation is good for earthquake, except that the individual site horizontal peak accelerations are less than the vertical. When the blast distance is 7. m and 1. m, under the effect of different loads, first order vibration main frequency are concentrated in 15. Hz-17. Hz and. Hz-5. Hz. With the same blast energy, the source of vibration location, the composite foundation form and the size of the upper load make an effect on the main frequency of composite foundation test points. The vibration main frequency is depending on the soil and the pile property between the source of vibration and test points. When the blast distance is different, the max damping ratio of test point on the soil and the pile are respectively.1 and.59, which is in contrast to the actual law, maybe it is the interaction result of the load, the soil and the pile property between the source of vibration and test point. Key words: CFG pile, composite foundation, field test, peak accelerations, main frequency, damping ratio. 1. Introduction In recent years, because of many times earthquake disaster, the dynamic characteristics of composite foundation were paid attention by the earthquake engineering. The vibration peak acceleration, main frequency and damping ratio are very important parameters of the dynamic characteristics of composite foundation experiments. Qi Jianfeng, Luan Maotian, Yang Qing, Ma Tailei, Yuan Ying [1] through a series of tests on saturated clay, the effect of stepped loading history and coupled cyclic stress on dynamic shear modulus and damping ratio under large strain was examined. Xiaoming Yuan, Rui Sun, Jing Sun, Meng Shangjiu, Shi Zhaoji [] using the natural resonant column test method gives domestic conventional soil type dynamic shear modulus ratio and damping ratio with the average dynamic shear strain change curve, the recommended value and envelope. Wang Weiyu, Zhao Tuo, Ding Jihui, Meng Yanjie [3-5] research dynamic characteristics and the rule of the dynamic response of the single pile composite foundation and nine piles composite foundation through blasting experiments. Ding Jihui, Wang Weiyu, Zhao Tuo, Feng Junhui [-] has designed three kinds of composite foundation based on the standpoint of optimizing the pile: CFG long pile and CFG short pile, CFG long pile and soil-cement pile, and CFG core pile and soil-cement ring pile. They studied the dynamic performance and the rule of the dynamic response of three combined composite foundation. This article focuses on the

6 Dynamic Characteristics on Composite Foundation with CFG Pile 19. Conclusion Through the field test of dynamic characteristics on composite foundation, getting the following conclusions: (1) The horizontal peak accelerations of test points are smaller than vertical peak accelerations except for few test points which are out of boundary, and they are decreasing with the increasing of the distance. Out of composite foundation, the peak acceleration decreases obviously along with increasing of the load on the test points of the soil. In the boundary of composite foundation, with the increasing of load, the peak acceleration decreases, but not sharply. On the same load, the distance between earthquake source and the edge of composite foundation is farther, the vibration peak acceleration is smaller. () When the blast distance is 7. m and 1. m, the first order vibration frequency are respectively concentrated in the 15. Hz-17. Hz and. Hz-5. Hz under the different loads. When the blast energy is same, earthquake source, the form of composite foundation and upper load all have effect on the main frequency of test points on the composite foundation. The vibration frequency depends on the soil and pile property between earthquake source and test points. (3) When the blast energy is same, under the effect of different load and blast distance, the max damping ratio of measuring points on the soil is.1, the max damping ratio on the pile is.59, which is in contrast to actual rule, maybe it is the interaction result of the load, the soil and pile property between vibration location and test point.
