description Because of its special material composition, formation environment and special structure, special soil usually shows different seismic response characteristics from general soil, and sometimes causes serious seismic disasters. Therefore, the study of seismic response characteristics of special soil has important practical significance for engineering construction and disaster prevention in special land areas, and a site seismic response analysis is an important way to study the impact of site conditions on ground motions. Based on the existing research work, the uniform and single ideal soil layer profiles of three special soils are established, and the seismic response analysis program of the soilquake soil layer is used to study the effects of the dynamic shear module ratio, damping ratio and shear-wave velocity of soft soil, loess and laterite on the characteristic period and platform value of the design response spectrum under different input ground motion intensities. At the same time, three typical actual drilling data values are selected to establish the calculation model of the site soil layer. On the basis of the seismic response analysis and calculation of the soil layer, three special soil dynamic characteristics are compared from the aspects of peak acceleration and characteristic parameters. Based on the research results of this paper, the recommended values of the dynamic shear module ratio and damping ratio of three special soils are given. This work has important reference value for seismic design in soft soil, loess and laterite areas, and also enriches the research results of soil dynamic parameters.
