Propagation Behavior of P1-Wave Passing through Fluid-Saturated Porous Continuous Barrier in Layered Saturated Soil

The fluid-saturated porous continuous barrier has a better vibration isolation effect than the single-phase solid continuous barrier, and layer-forming saturated soils will have an impact on the vibration isolation effect of the barriers due to their irregular layer-forming distribution. Based on Biot’s theory of saturated porous media and Snell’s law, a dynamic model of a fluid-saturated porous continuous barrier in layered saturated soil is established in this study. By introducing the potential function and using the continuous boundary condition of the interface between the saturated soil and the barrier, the analytical solution of the inverse transmission amplitude ratio of a P1-wave passing through the fluid-saturated porous continuous barrier in stratified saturated soil is obtained. The rationality of the proposed method is verified by comparing the solution of the P-wave model at the interface between the elastic medium and the saturated coarse particle interlayer. The differences in the propagation characteristics of fluid-saturated porous continuous barriers in layered saturated soils, homogeneous saturated soils, and layered single-phase soils are analyzed via numerical examples, and the influence of changes in the physical and mechanical parameters of the fluid-saturated porous continuous barriers on the reflectance amplitude ratios under the conditions of a layered saturated soil foundation are also analyzed. The results show that the presence of fluid in the stratified saturated soil model changes the trend of the reflection amplitude ratio with the incidence angle. The reflection amplitude ratio of the P2-wave and the SV-wave increases first and then decreases with the increase in the incident angle, while the reflection amplitude ratio of P1-wave decreases first and then increases. Barrier thickness and porosity change the energy distribution relationship at the interface; a relatively thicker barrier thickness and a higher porosity would result in a higher amplitude of barrier reflections.
