The purpose of this study is to investigate SH wave in the periodic cement-based piezoelectric layered barrier to meet the needs of vibration control in complex engineering environments and improve the application of periodic vibration isolation barrier in civil engineering. The governing equation of SH wave in periodic barrier is established based on the periodic theory of phononic crystals. The band structures are calculated by plane wave expansion method, the transmission characteristics are computed by transfer matrix method, and the attenuation effect of the periodic barrier is verified by finite element method. The effects of geometric parameters, material parameters and initial stress on band structures are analyzed in details. The numerical results show that the number of unit cells, initial stress and material parameters of the periodic barrier have significant effects on the band gap. As the lattice constant of the structure increases and the equivalent elastic modulus decreases, the lower boundary and the width of the band gap decrease. With the increase of tensile stresses, whether the lower and upper boundary or the width of the band gap will all increase, while they are decrease with the increase of compressive stresses. This work provides an alternative avenue for the design of periodic layers as wave barriers.
