1 Introduction
Now we have recognized that traditional seismic techniques used by "Ying Kang" measures, that is used to strengthen the structure, bold elements section, even be reinforced components, and other methods to improve structural rigidity to resist earthquakes, ultimately because of the greater stiffness , the greater the earthquake, not the economy, not necessarily safe. The traditional seismic design "minor earthquake, the earthquake can repair, earthquake is not down" of the seismic fortification goal, the structure may be under strong earthquakes seriously damaged and can not guarantee the time of severe earthquake safety of life and property. The use of seismic isolation, energy dissipation and other control techniques are consistent with current performance-based seismic design, a better guarantee strong earthquake occurs, personnel, equipment, apparatus safety, has been showing good prospects for the development and application .
structure of the Department of isolation purposes, are mattresses layer isolation of the area, its isolation, damping mechanism and base isolation method is different compared to the current standard recommended by the base isolation rubber bearing isolation method, sand, stone cushion method isolated more low cost, construction simple, although some of China's ancient architecture (such as the famous arch bridge) by this method successfully to resist occurred several times in history, earthquakes and other natural disasters, and stand tall, but the sand cushion the vibration theory currently In the study, only in some rural towns have houses built in the use of sliding sand cushion technology has not been adopted by national norms, only the formulation of Shaanxi and Liaoning provinces on the corresponding sliding technology, local standards, but also enrich the theory, also need more validation experiments and engineering practice.
foundation; in the role of a major earthquake under the sand cushion significant damping effect. Enter the EI-Centro, wave, equivalent to 8 degrees in the intensity of earthquake situation best, and maximum shock absorption 23%. However, the acceleration peak 50gal, enter the EI-Centro wave acceleration slightly enlarged, but add no more than 4% of earthquakes. Bo and Parklield wave input to move, regardless of the size of peak acceleration, can play a role in reducing the earthquake. Liu Xiaoli, etc. Also on the sand cushion stiffness on seismic response of the ground has been studied[3], the study will cushion thickness on the value, change the stiffness of cushion (to cushion the shear wave velocity measured value) , in 120, 150, 180,200, 230, 250, 280, 300m / s shear wave velocity of the 8 cases, the input EI-Centro wave, moved to Bo and Parkfield wave (peak acceleration, respectively 200ga1, 100ga1 and 200ga1), Under the assumption in its model to calculate the stiffness of sand cushion in less than 200 ~ 250m / s (in secret), the acceleration value increases with the stiffness of sand cushion the increase, over this range but decreased after the acceleration , then curve to flatten (300m / s to drop by less than 5%). Also calculate the dense sand cushion under different damping ratio, on average, concluded that the loose sand cushion in the state (120m / s) under the damping effect is better, especially in Parkfield damping effect of wave action best, 39.8%; sand blanket in the dense state (150-250m / s) and dense state (280-300 m / s) under, EI-Centro wave damping effect of the best, followed by Parkfield wave, moving Bo worst. Douyuan Ming and other properties of the sand cushion vibration isolation table test[4], confirm with the sand cushion density (sand cushion stiffness) increases, damping effect has been reduced; input EI-centro wave, sand cushion thickness, vibration reduction increased input sine wave, the thickness has little effect on the damping effect. Zhao Shaowei, also using sine wave and the EI-Centro wave in the shaking table test of[5] found that the relative effect of a single particle size of the isolation is better graded, also found that a single particle size than in the 5.0mm 2.5mm of the effect, regardless of the changes in the thickness of sand cushion, 5.0 mm diameter sand cushion can always be ideal isolation effect. analyze the reasons is the larger size of sand cohesion between the poor's sake, If you use pellets sand screening, isolation may have better results. Liu Darong Isolation of sand cushion in its[8], considering the load and the isolation and other factors made the isolation of sand cushion design for non-collapsible region isolation design of some reference effect.

I believe that this assumption the model is problematic, perhaps because reference on Maximum Qing-Shan Li, etc. carried out on the sand cushion closed underground explosion measured[9] The reasons for the model. Single degree of freedom of the system to represent the spring with a sand cushion of flexibility, the prior condition is fixed the upper sand cushion can provide the basis and level of force, in fact, easy flow of sand can not pass the level of tensile stress, while the literature[9] in the shock isolation bed system, is composed of viscous dampers and spring isolation devices can not be simply applied to the calculation of sand cushion isolation building model. Sand cushion damping system represents the actual damping force most of the internal friction of sand cushion and the base itself and the friction between the surrounding constraints. Should be simplified model[6] in the model, &0 + & &) + F = 0 . shown in Figure 2. The equation of motion should be used as reference[7]: m( & x x Where F is frictional force, F = sgn( x) f k mg , f k is dynamic sliding friction coefficient,
Reference[6] also presented a model of multi-mass system, shown in Figure 3, the equation of motion should reference[7] using the equation expressed in matrix form and instructions. 4.2 Isolation of sliding sand and gravel bedding deformation Many scholars believe that the basis of a simple sliding can not solve the excessive slip deformation and the problem can not be reset, so isolation device should be equipped with adequate damping (such as lead rubber bearings, such as mild steel dampers ) to provide resilience against the unpredictable effect of strong earthquakes occurred in a large displacement. However, these results show that the sand cushion under strong earthquake has obvious damping effect, and the other by the peak in the literature[10], using the equivalent linearization method, given by the stochastic model of rigid frictional base isolation Structure slip response spectrum (see Figure 4). a m is maximum acceleration of seismic ground mean, we can see even more than 9 degrees corresponding to the ground acceleration, to 750cm/s2, the dynamic friction coefficient of sand cushion the maximum slip value of 0.2 responses (single-particle displacement relative to ground), but about 7cm , while the calculations described in the evidence with great credibility, such as[11] to the proof in the epicenter of the 1976 Tangshan earthquake intensity of the urban culture of 10 degrees the same way two three-story brick building, a collapse, one does not collapse, This is a building foot of the wall did not collapse the entire building has a level of office crack, cracks can be seen clearly in the sliding traces of brick walls between the upper and lower part of the residual displacement 6cm. The author believes that as long as the structural integrity after the earthquake, resulting in less than 15cm slip displacement on such a small building used has little impact on the general structure of architectural fashion and the peak to some extent to allow the horizontal displacement across sand cushion earthquake should also be allowed housing housing relative to some extent sand cushion slip. This is also the future research in this area

and the development of standards or norms should be added to the content. 4.3 Definition of vibration reduction ratio Different scholars in their research, to facilitate their research defines the different damping rates, such as Liu Xiaoli in the literature[3] definition of damping rate a = [baseline profile output maximum acceleration - a sand cushion the maximum output acceleration] / baseline profile of the maximum acceleration of output x 100%, while Zhao Shaowei in the literature[5] definition of damping ratio = [input acceleration absolute - the absolute value of the output acceleration] / input acceleration absolute value, I believe that what indicators to use how scientific and reasonable measure of the damping effect of sand cushion is worth studying.

WANG Yayong in the literature[12] discussed the design acceleration response spectra for seismic design of the limitations of the energy method using velocity response spectrum and response spectrum analysis of the feasibility of displacement. This is because the building used for functions and earthquake damage, it has been generally agreed that the structure of the deformation or displacement by force than the structures more important. Do not fall down and decided to housing more directly the deformation or displacement, rather than internal forces, while the displacement and energy (potential energy) linked to, force and acceleration are related. The paper quoted the analysis shows that single degree of freedom system in the different energy distribution of seismic waves in the elastic stage, the maximum instantaneous input energy and maximum displacement has a good relationship, seismic wave energy distribution and structure ductility have little impact, structural plastic into more complicated

situation after the seismic wave energy distribution and structure of the natural cycle has an impact on this relationship are, for the energy on the edge of the seismic waves of short period structure and energy distribution of seismic waves (such as EI-Centro and artificial waves) under the long-period structure, the maximum instantaneous input energy and maximum displacement has a good relationship. For the analysis of single degree of freedom system has proven that a relationship exists. Because the instantaneous energy reflects the characteristics of seismic waves, in theory, should also be multi-degree of freedom system has a corresponding relationship exists. In particular, the earthquake, the isolated structure because most of the deformation occurred in the soil and the cushion or slip on the deformation of the structure itself is relatively small, making the general structure of the elastic state. From this analysis, the future of various isolation or energy dissipation structure of the damping effect, with a shock absorber damping measures, measures and no two structures, or internal forces of change in acceleration compared to measure the damping effect is inadequate Department, and the change of displacement is more desirable in the literature[10] for the rigid structure of sliding friction base isolation displacement response spectrum in the future research of great value, I believe that the rate and vibration damping and non-isolation of the maximum rate of change of displacement between layers is more realistic.
5 Conclusion
This paper reviews the use of isolation technology isolated sand cushion some of research results; in the analysis of the sand cushion of isolation mechanism, the computational model of some scholars questioned whether the right; and based on seismic design and slip displacement spectra data have been proposed in the research and development of isolated sand cushion the housing standards or norms should be allowed to have some sand cushion housing relative displacement, a measure of how scientific and reasonable damping sand cushion damping rate effects and the definition put forward their own proposals. As sand, stone cushion method isolated more low cost, simple construction methods, in the future the use of natural materials in isolated areas of the foundation needed to continue in-depth, state standards have yet to be formed.
