砂土中群锚锚周土体变形特性模型试验研究

群锚是常见的基础形式应用较为广泛,由于群锚之间的相互作用,群锚上拔过程中锚周土体的变形破坏机制比较复杂。采用非接触式数字图像相关方法（DIC）对群锚上拔过程开展模型试验研究,分析了群锚上拔过程中上拔力-位移关系曲线特征和锚周土体变形破坏机制。试验结果表明,密实度和埋深对群锚上拔力-位移关系曲线特征具有显著影响,在相同密实度、相同埋深率下浅埋与深埋群锚与同条件下的单锚具有相似的上拔力-位移关系曲线特征;群锚抗拔承载力具有明显的叠加效应,且砂土密实度、埋深和锚间距等参数因素对群锚效应具有显著影响。通过变形场的研究,得出了砂土密实度、埋深以及锚间距对群锚效应的影响规律。

针对山区和丘陵等复杂地形下浅埋锚板抗拔承载力计算问题,基于极限分析上限定理、非线性Mohr-Coulomb强度准则及其关联流动法则,构造了斜坡浅埋水平条形锚板的曲线型破裂机制和机动许可速度场,采用变分极值原理获得了其上方土体破裂面方程和抗拔承载力的上限解,分析了斜坡倾角和锚板埋深对锚板抗拔承载力的影响。结果表明:随着斜坡倾角的增大,锚板抗拔承载力逐渐减小,此时其上方两侧土体破裂面不再对称且整体向下坡侧偏移;锚板抗拔承载力及其上方两侧土体破裂面宽度均随着埋深增大而增加;锚板埋深越小,斜坡倾角对其抗拔承载力的影响越大,应在计算中予以考虑,以更合理地反映斜坡浅埋水平条形锚板的抗拔承载特性。     

非均质地基浅埋水平条形锚板承载力上限分析

考虑地基土体的非均质特性,采用非线性Mohr-Coulomb强度准则及其关联流动法则构造了浅埋水平条形锚板的曲线型破裂机制与机动许可速度场,根据极限分析上限定理推导了条形锚板抗拔承载力的表达式。利用变分极值原理求得了锚板抗拔承载力及其上方土体破裂面的上限解,分析了锚板埋深、土体非均质和非线性强度特性对锚板抗拔承载特性的影响,并将该上限解与已有计算方法进行了对比。结果表明:锚板埋深、土体非均质和非线性强度特性对其抗拔承载力与破裂面特征具有明显的影响。锚板埋深和土体非均质系数越大以及土体非线性强度系数越小,锚板抗拔承载力和土体破裂面深度、宽度均是越大。该上限解与极限平衡和极限分析有限元方法的计算结果基本一致,验证了所采用的曲线型破裂机制和地基非均质变化规律有效性,为条形锚板设计提供了一定的参考。     

基于DIC技术的砂土中圆形锚板上拔土体变形特性试验研究

针对福建标准砂,采用非接触式数字图像相关技术(digital image correlation, DIC),通过一系列室内模型试验研究了圆形锚板上拔时锚周土体的变形特性,重点分析了盘径、埋深比和砂土相对密实度的影响。试验结果表明,随着盘径的增加,同一埋深比条件下,上拔力峰值和出现上拔力峰值时的位移水平均明显增大,而上拔承载力系数N_γ则随着盘径的增加而减小,但盘径变化不影响上拔时锚周土体位移影响区的形状,且以上规律不受砂土相对密实度变化的影响。对于密砂,锚周土体位移影响区形状随着埋深比的增加由倒梯形向U字形发展,土体剪切破坏面为沿锚板边缘向外侧斜上方演进的直线型破坏面,且与竖直方向的夹角约为1/4φ_p(φ_p为土的峰值摩擦角);随着锚板的上拔,锚板上方土体出现较为明显的体积膨胀。对于松砂,随着埋深比的增加,锚周土体位移影响区形状由延伸至土体表面的矩形向内置于土体的贝壳形发展;浅埋时,土体剪切破坏面沿锚板边缘垂直向土体表面开展;深埋时,土体剪切破坏面沿锚板边缘向内侧斜上方发展,与水平方向的夹角约为45°+1/2φ_p。无论何种埋深比,锚板正上方均观测到小范围的体积膨胀区,其上为体积收缩区,且随着埋深比的增加体积收缩量逐渐增加。

土工格栅加筋土地基平板载荷试验研究

在近年来的岩土工程实践中,土工合成材料加筋土技术得到越来越广泛的应用。采用平板载荷板试验方法,进行了多组加筋砂土地基模型试验,监测和分析了不同加筋材料（双向格栅与四向格栅）和加筋层数对土工格栅加筋土地基承载特性的影响。研究结果表明：土工格栅加筋土地基与无筋地基相比,承载性能得到改善,双层加筋明显优于单层加筋;土工格栅加筋限制了浅层地基的侧向变形,相同荷载下地基沉降减小,可恢复变形增大;模型试验中测得加筋材料应变和拉力很小,与土工格栅强度相比,拉伸模量对加筋土地基承载力的贡献更大。     

基于Hoek-Brown破坏准则的浅埋条形锚板抗拔力上限分析

现有的锚板极限承载力研究大多是采用线性或非线性Mohr-Coulomb破坏准则在砂质地基中进行的,然而Mohr-Coulomb破坏准则并不适合分析岩质地基中的抗拔结构。采用Hoek-Brown破坏准则构建了一个曲线型的破坏机制,根据极限分析上限定理求出了条形锚板抗拔力的表达式。通过变分计算,得到了极限状态下条形锚板的抗拔力和岩体破裂面的上限解。为了证明所采用方法的有效性,当材料参数B =1时,采用与Mohr-Coulomb破坏准则等效的土体参数,计算了曲线型破坏机制下条形锚板的极限抗拔力,并与已有计算结果进行了比较。结果表明,采用曲线型破坏机制得到的锚板极限抗拔力与直线型多块体破坏机制的结果基本一致,证明了所采用的曲线形破坏机制是正确的。参数研究表明：在其他参数不变的情况下,锚板极限抗拔力和破坏面都随岩体参数B的增大而减小。     

基于耦合欧拉-拉格朗日法的锚板在黏土中的极限承载力数值分析

当结构在土体中运动时,往往导致土体发生较大的变形,此类问题采用大变形数值分析方法更为恰当。耦合欧拉-拉格朗日（Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian, 简称CEL）法是大变形数值分析方法中的一种,在分析大变形问题时具有很强的适用性,但在国内尚未开展CEL法分析锚板承载力的研究。以方形锚板在均质土及线性土中的拔出试验为原型,基于CEL法建立数值模型,对锚板的极限承载力及破坏机制进行研究,并通过用户自定义子程序,实现了线性土的强度分布随锚板拔出而变化。计算结果表明,土体杨氏模量越大,锚板的极限承载力越大;随着位移增大,锚板的抗拔力先增大,后降低;当埋深小于临界埋深时,土体发生整体破坏;当埋深大于等于临界埋深时,土体发生局部破坏。数值计算反映的规律与试验结果基本吻合,体现了CEL法模拟锚板在海床中大位移响应的出色能力。     

锚板抗拉破坏机制试验研究

锚板上拔过程是一个复杂的锚土相互作用过程,锚板周围土体在上拔过程中的变形破坏机制对于锚板抗拔力的可靠预测具有重要意义。为了对锚板破坏机制进行量化分析,基于LabVIEW软件开发环境,开发了力、位移和图像同步采集系统,该系统由力传感器、位移传感器、相机和一台计算机组成,可对锚板上拔过程中的力、位移和图像进行自动同步采集,从而保证了力、位移和图像的一一对应关系。基于PIV（particle image velocimetry）无干扰测量技术对砂土中锚板在上拔过程中的图像进行了测量分析,得到了锚板周围土体的位移场、剪切应变场和体积应变场。变形场试验结果表明：锚板上拔过程中,锚板上部土体中间部分位移大、两边小,最终形成一个倒置的梯形;剪切应变场显示锚板上拔过程经历了局部剪切带形成,扩展并最终在锚板两侧形成一个倾斜向上并贯通到地面的对称剪切带,剪切过程中剪切带内伴随着剪涨。在峰后阶段,剪切带形状由峰值点内倾转为外倾,锚板两侧边缘处出现局部土体流动软化。该试验结果可为锚板上拔预测模型建立以及设计提供参考依据。     

Uplift response of symmetrical anchor plates in reinforced cohesionless soil

The uplift response of symmetrical anchor plates with and without geogrid reinforcement layers has been evaluated in model tests and numerical simulations using PLAXIS. Many parameters of the reinforcement layers were used to reinforce the sandy soil over circular, square, and rectangular symmetrical anchor plates of various sizes. In the current research, different parameters, such as relative density of sand and embedment ratios, in conjunction with geogrid reinforcement layer parameters including size, number of layers, and the proximity of the layer to the circular anchor plate, were investigated in a scale model. The failure mechanism and the associated rupture surface were observed and evaluated. Test results showed that using geogrid reinforcement layers significantly improves the uplift capacity of symmetrical anchor plates. It was found that inclusion of one geogrid layer resting directly on top of the symmetrical anchor plate was more effective in enhancing the symmetrical anchor capacity than the layer itself. It was also found that the inclusion of one geogrid layer on the symmetrical anchor plate improved the uplift capacity more than the same symmetrical anchor plate embedded without a reinforcement layer. The single geogrid layer was also more effective in enhancing the uplift capacity compared to the multiple geogrid layer reinforcement approach. In general, the results show that the uplift capacity of symmetrical anchor plates in loose and dense sand can be significantly increased by the inclusion of geogrid layers. It was also observed that the inclusion of geogrid layers reduces the requirement for a higher L/D ratio to achieve the required uplift capacity. The results of the laboratory and numerical analysis are found to be in agreement in terms of the breakout factor and failure mechanism pattern.     

A state boundary surface model for improving the dilatancy simulation of granular material in reinforced anchors

It is acknowledged that for extending the experimental results to real scale design, it is necessary to use an appropriate numerical analysis. The good analysis in geotechnical problems needs to adopt a suitable constitutive model for the materials. This paper presents a modeling approach to investigate the complex behavior of granular trench and reinforcement system. For this purpose, an experimental and numerical investigation has been carried out on the behavior of pullout resistance of an embedded anchor (circular plate) with and without geogrid reinforcement layers in stabilized loose and dense sand using a granular trench. Different parameters have been considered, such as number of geogrid layers, embedment ratios, relative density of soil, and height ratios of granular trench. Finite element analysis with Hardening Soil Model was utilized for sand and CANAsand constitutive model was used for granular trench to investigate failure mechanism and the associated rupture surfaces. Results showed that, when soil was improved with the granular-geogrid trench, the uplift force significantly increased, but in geogrid-reinforced granular trench condition, the ultimate pullout resistance at failure increased as the number of geogrid layers increased up to the third layer, the fifth layer had a negligible effect in comparison with the third layer of reinforcement. The ultimate uplift capacity of anchor plate and the variation of surface deformation for all the tests indicated a close agreement between the experimental and numerical models.     

Three-dimensional numerical and analytical study of horizontal group of square anchor plates in sand

In this paper, numerical and analytical methods are used to evaluate the ultimate pullout capacity of a group of square anchor plates in row or square configurations, installed horizontally in dense sand. The elasto-plastic numerical study of square anchor plates is carried out using three-dimensional finite element analysis. The soil is modeled by an elasto-plastic model with a Mohr–Coulomb yield criterion. An analytical method based on a simplified three-dimensional failure mechanism is developed in this study. The interference effect is evaluated by group efficiency η, defined as the ratio of the ultimate pullout capacity of group of N anchor plates to that of a single isolated plate multiplied by number of plates. The variation of the group efficiency η was computed with respect to change in the spacing between plates. Results of the analyses show that the spacing between the plates, the internal friction angle of soil and the installation depth are the most important parameters influencing the group efficiency. New equations are developed in this study to evaluate the group efficiency of square anchor plates embedded horizontally in sand at shallow depth (H = 4B). The results obtained by numerical and analytical solutions are in excellent agreement.     

Transient loading-related settlement of a square foundation on geogrid-reinforced sand

Summary Laboratory model test results are presented that determine the effectiveness of using layers of geogrids as reinforcement in sand to reduce the settlement of square surface foundations subjected to transient loading. The model tests were conducted with only one type of geogrid at one relative density of compaction of sand. The maximum intensity of the transient load applied always exceeded the static ultimate bearing capacity of the foundation when supported by unreinforced sand. The settlement reduction factors for various depths of reinforcement have been determined.     

A numerical study of the pullout behavior of grout anchors underreamed by pulse discharge technology

Pulse discharge technology (PDT) is an innovative construction method used to enhance the bearing capacity of piles and the resisting capacity of anchors by underreaming using a high-pressure shockwave induced by an underwater electric discharge. This study numerically analyzes the pullout behavior of a grout anchor underreamed by PDT. A series of finite element analyses were performed to examine the pullout behavior of the anchor based on successive simulations from underreaming to subsequent pullout tests. The electric blasting and shockwave generation by PDT was equivalently modeled using the underwater explosion (UNDEX) model, and the appropriate UNDEX parameters were determined by benchmarking the laboratory PDT tests. Full-scale PDT underreaming and the subsequent pullout tests in dry sand deposits reported in the literature were then simulated on the basis of fluid–structure interaction (FSI) analyses and static uplift analyses. The predicted expansion of the borehole and the pullout behaviors were compared with field test results to validate the numerical model. Moreover, the results from a parametric study conducted to investigate the influence of soil and anchor characteristics on the uplift behavior of the PDT underreamed anchor are discussed.     

The ultimate uplift capacity of multi-plate strip anchors in undrained clay

Soil anchors are commonly used as foundation systems for structures requiring uplift resistance such as transmission towers, or for structures requiring lateral resistance, such as sheet pile walls. Anchors commonly have more than one plate or bearing element and therefore there is a complex interaction between adjacent plates due to overlapping stress zones. This interaction will affect the failure mode and ultimate capacity. However, no thorough numerical analyses have been performed to determine the ultimate pullout loads of multi-plate anchors. By far the majority of the research has been directed toward the tensile uplift behaviour of single anchors (only one plate). The primary aim of this research paper is to use numerical modelling techniques to better understand plane strain multi-plate anchor foundation behaviour in clay soils. A practical design framework for multi-plate anchor foundations will be established to replace existing semi-empirical design methods that are inadequate and have been found to be excessively under or over conservative. This framework can then be used by design engineers to more confidently estimate the pullout capacity of multi-plate anchors under tension loading.     

基于数字图像分析的土工合成材料加筋砂土拉拔试验研究

由于加筋土界面作用的复杂性,加筋土工程建设中铺设土工格栅时往往采用经验的方法,很大程度上造成了土工格栅的浪费及工程安全隐患,理清不同填料筋土界面作用的影响范围,有助于确定加筋土结构的合理加筋间距。为了揭示不同填料筋土界面作用的影响范围,采用4种不同类型的砂土与格栅在不同法向应力下进行了一系列的拉拔试验,并结合数字图像量测技术,分析了不同类型砂土下界面剪切带厚度、颗粒位移矢量、格栅拉拔阻力峰值及应变等演变规律。研究表明：界面剪切带厚度H随法向应力σ_v与砂土平均粒径d₅₀的增加而增大,通过多变量拟合的方法,得到了H、σ_v与d₅₀三者之间的函数表达式;格栅在拉拔过程中,砂土颗粒位移矢量以土工格栅为界有着显著的差别,格栅上部的颗粒位移矢量明显大于下部颗粒,且在格栅上下一定范围内会形成颗粒位移矢量集中带;拉拔阻力峰值随σ_v及d₅₀的增加而增大;不同类型砂土各区段的格栅应变均表现出由前向后依次递减的趋势。

吸力式沉箱基础极限拉拔承载力的数值分析

作为新型的深水海洋基础型式,吸力式沉箱基础被广泛地用于系泊深水海洋设施中,从而承受巨大的倾斜上拔荷载。在上拔荷载水平分量与竖向分量的共同作用下,吸力式沉箱的承载特性及其工作性能评价是海洋工程设计与建设中的关键技术问题之一。然而现有的理论分析与试验研究并不能满足工程实践的需要,因此,对吸力式沉箱基础的极限承载力分析建立了有限元数值计算方法。当沉箱基础在快速拔出过程中,正常固结黏土处于完全不排水状态,沉箱基础发生整体破坏时表现出反向地基承载力失稳模式,此时沉箱基础所发挥的极限承载能力往往最大。为此,在数值计算中直接假定沉箱基础及其周围土体处于完全不排水状态,针对不同的沉箱长径比,分别确定了在竖向上拔荷载和水平拉拔的单独作用下沉箱基础极限承载力。对比发现：竖向上拔极限承载力有限元解能够较好地与理论计算结果相符合,而水平极限承载力解与理论计算结果存在一定的差异。
