采用有限元强度“折减”的基本原理,给出了地基承载力确定的数值模拟方法,并讨论了剪胀性材料的地基承载力与材料剪胀角的变化关系。算例表明,地基承载力随剪胀角的增大而增大。因此,求解地基承载力时,需要考虑剪胀角的影响。     

复合加载情况下双层地基极限承载力研究

在复合加载情况下精确求解层状非均质地基的极限承载力,具有很强的工程实用与理论参考价值。基于土体极限平衡理论与通用有限元软件ABAQUS,针对复合加载情况下上硬下软的双层不排水饱和软黏土地基的极限承载力,进行了大量的数值计算,得出了上层土临界深度Hcr的计算公式、竖向极限承载力Pv的计算公式以及复合加载情况下地基破坏时的破坏包络面方程。研究结果表明：上层土临界深度Hcr取决于土层间强度比Su1/Su2;竖向极限承载力Pv与破坏包络面取决于土层间强度比Su1/Su2、上层土深度H1与基础型式。     

吹填场区双层软黏土地基承载特性及破坏模式

针对天津滨海地区围海造陆工程所形成的上软、下硬双层软黏土地基,利用室内载荷试验和数值模拟开展了双层软黏土地基的承载特性及破坏模式研究。研究表明：由于下层沉积土的补强效应,双层软黏土地基的P-S曲线会出现明显的凹凸转折点,其出现的位置与宽厚比密切相关,宽厚比越小,转折点出现的时间越靠后,下层沉积土的补强效果越不明显。数值结果表明：双层软黏土地基破坏模式随着上覆土厚度的变化相差不大,均为整体剪切破坏。随着载荷板宽度的增加,双层软黏土地基以冲剪破坏模式过渡为局部剪切破坏,当载荷板宽度大于3.0 m时,表现为整体剪切破坏。     

临近边坡的条形基础地基极限承载力数值分析

建筑物或构筑物基础临近边坡置放的情况在实际工程中十分普遍,但目前对于临近边坡基础的地基承载力及破坏模式尚缺乏深入研究。采用不连续布局优化（DLO）极限分析法建立数值模型,分析边坡几何尺寸、土体参数和基础位置对临坡条形基础的极限承载力和边坡破坏模式的影响,并对国内外现行规范推荐的计算方法进行评价。结果表明：极限承载力随边坡高度和边坡倾斜角的增大而减小,当坡高超过临界高度后,极限承载力将不受其影响;极限承载力随土体黏聚力和内摩擦角的增大而提高,滑动面随黏聚力的增大而变浅,随内摩擦角的增大而变深;极限承载力随基础与坡肩相对距离的增大而提高,当基础置放位置超过某临界距离后极限承载力不受边坡影响。在土体强度高、坡角较大时,《建筑地基基础设计规范》规定的临坡基础最小置放距离偏于危险,设计时仍需考虑边坡对承载力的减损作用;在土体强度较低、坡角较小时,规范规定值偏于保守。美国AASHTO规范对边坡地基极限承载力的取值在砂土边坡时较为可靠,但其仅适用于坡面破坏模式的情况;饱和黏土边坡的承载力曲线有悖于理论解,对临界距离的规定同样存在低估。     

压实填土地基承载力深度修正系数研究

软弱土层上的压实填土地基作为一种非均质地基广泛应用,但目前关于这种地基的破坏模式和承载力机制的研究还不够深入,工程中仍采用现行规范深度修正系数取值为2的方式进行设计。采用有限差分方法建立数值模型,研究了影响压实填土地基承载力深度修正系数的因素,并与现行规范推荐方法的取值进行对比。结果表明：填土越深、基础外超载越大,参与地基剪切破坏运动的土体体积越大,地基极限承载力越高;而随着填土宽度的增大,地基极限承载力先提高,后趋于稳定;砂土内摩擦角的增大也会提高地基极限承载力。总体来说,规范中的推荐值是偏于保守的,会造成承载力的浪费;而在下卧层强度很小、填土深度较大时该推荐值可能高估压实填土地基承载力,存在偏于不安全的可能,在工程设计时应予以考虑。     

各向异性和非均质黏土粗糙地基承载力上限计算

通过构建一种网格状多刚性块破坏机制,利用上限法研究了黏土地基各向异性和非均质对粗糙条形基础地基承载力的影响。该破坏机制允许滑动面和速度矢量沿破坏区域过渡区的径向和切向发生变化,形成了更为精确的破坏机制和塑性流动速度场。根据上限定理得到各向异性和非均质性黏土上条形基础极限承载力的目标函数,将其转化为非线性规划问题,并通过编程对该计算模型进行求解。与已有研究成果对比分析表明,两者具有较好一致性,且优于现有同类方法。文中亦探讨了黏土地基非均质、各向异性以及其他相关参数对地基承载力的影响。     

基于上限法的地基极限承载力计算模式探讨

当前地基极限承载力理论研究及实践应用的基本框架,仍采用的是Terzaghi所建议的三项叠加法,即分别考虑土体粘聚力、超载和地基土重对承载力的贡献,然后将三项进行叠加,由于土体并非线弹性材料,应用叠加原理在理论上是欠妥的。从理论上讲,采用整体考虑影响承载力的各种因素直接进行极限承载力计算更为恰当。为探讨采用三项叠加法与整体考虑各种影响因素直接计算的差别,基于多块体上限方法,分别采用两种计算方法对中心荷载作用下粗糙及光滑基础地基极限承载力问题进行了计算,探讨两种计算方法的差异,并从地基破坏面所反映出的信息揭示了两种计算存在差异的内在原因。     

有关砂土地基承载力数值解析问题的讨论

以砂土地基的极限承载力为对象,讨论了古典理论解与室内模型实验值之间的差异,并结合试验中所观察到的现象对其原因进行了简要的分析,最后,利用有限元解析对各种极限承载力的计算方法进行了客观地评价.砂土材料强度具有明显的各向异性以及软化特性,并与周围压力大小以及密度相关.另外,砂土地基的破坏呈渐进性,砂土的粒径大小影响它的承载力以及变形破坏.结果表明,只有考虑砂土以上的各种特性的数值解析方法才能合理地得到砂土地基的极限承载力.     

利用抗剪强度计算地基承载力特征值方法探讨

利用不同地层情况的计算实例,分别采用抗剪强度指标厚度加权平均法和附加应力面积法对地基承载力特征值进行计算,对计算结果进行分析,对不同的计算方法的理论原理进行了剖析,提出利用附加应力系数法计算抗剪强度指标标准值的结论。同时提出抗剪强度指标应采用不固结不排水剪指标,当持力层为粉土时应对其抗剪强度指标进行75%的折减的方法和建议。为合理利用抗剪强度指标计算地基承载力特征值提供了有益的参考。     

局部剪切破坏模式下的无重地基承载力

局部剪切破坏是一种常见的地基破坏模式,该破坏模式下的地基承载力理论计算方法尚不完善,对无重地基局部剪切破坏的极限承载力理论进行了研究。首先从破坏时破裂面延伸位置的角度完善了浅基础3种破坏模式的划分标准。对于局部剪切破坏,土体强度并未完全发挥出来,潜在破坏区处于非极限状态,所以将土体强度逐渐发挥的概念引入地基承载力中,通过适当的假设,建立了局部剪切破坏模式下无重介质地基承载力的理论计算方法,并与已有的经典成果进行比较分析,印证了该方法的合理性。研究成果为解决局部剪切破坏模式下地基承载力的计算提供了理论参考。     

Elasto-viscoplastic finite element study of the effect of degradation on bearing capacity of footing on clay ground

The bearing capacity of footing has been studied by both conventional and numerical methods by many researchers. However, degradation of the microstructure of material, that is, a change in the microstructure of the soil, has not been adequately taken into account. Degradation of microstructure causes strain softening of materials and it leads to strain localization such as shear bands and slip bands. From an engineering point of view the strain localization is crucial because it is a precursor of failure. In the present study, finite element analyses of the bearing capacity of a shallow foundation on homogeneous and inhomogeneous saturated clay strata have been conducted using an elasto-viscoplastic soil constitutive model of microstructure change. A series of analyses of footing on clay deposit with different microstructure parameters have been carried out. Numerical results show that strain localization can be predicted during the loading of rigid footing on highly structured soil and strain localization affects the footing–soil interaction. The effects of footing roughness on the failure mechanism are also discussed in the study.     

Seismic Bearing Capacity of Shallow Strip Footing with Coulomb Failure Mechanism using Limit Equilibrium Method

In this paper, an effort is made to evaluate the seismic bearing capacity of shallow strip footing resting on c–ф soil. The formulation is developed to get a single coefficient of bearing capacity for simultaneous resistance of weight, surcharge and cohesion. Limit equilibrium method in Pseudo-static approach with Coulomb mechanism is applied here to evaluate the seismic bearing capacity. The seismic bearing capacity of footing (q_uE) is expressed in terms of single coefficient N_γE. The effect of various parameters viz. angle of internal friction of soil (ф), angle of wall friction (δ), cohesion (c), ratio of depth to width of footing (d_f/B₀), seismic acceleration (k_h, k_v) are studied on the variation of seismic bearing capacity co-efficients.     

Performance of square footing with structural skirt resting on sand

The paper presents the performance of a square footing with a structural skirt resting on sand and subjected to a vertical load through an experimental study. A series of tests were conducted in a model test tank to evaluate the performance in terms of improvement in bearing capacity and reduction in settlement of a square footing with and without a structural skirt. The results of the study reveal that this type of reinforcement increases the bearing capacity, reduces the settlement and modifies the load settlement behaviour of the footing. The various factors influencing the bearing capacity improvements and settlement reduction using a structural skirt are identified. Skirt factors are proposed which can be introduced into the general ultimate bearing capacity equation for a square footing resting on sand. The predictions made through the modified equation are in reasonable agreement with the experimental results. The bearing capacity of square footing is increased in the range of 11.2 to 70%. The improvement in bearing capacity decreases with the increase in base roughness of the footing. Further, an equation for a settlement reduction factor is proposed which can be used to calculate the settlement of the square footing with structural skirt resting on sand. The settlement reduction factor (SRF, defined as the ratio of settlement of footing with structural skirt to the settlement of footing without structural skirt at a given load) was in the range 0.11 to 1.0 depending on applied load and skirt depth ratio with the use of a structural skirt. The results further reveal that for a given depth of the skirt, the settlement reduction factor decreases with the increase in applied load. The improvement in the bearing capacity and reduction in settlement of a square footing with a structural skirt resting on sand are dependent on the geometrical and structural properties of the skirt, footing, sand characteristics and interface conditions of the sand–skirt–footing system.     

Stability of eccentrically loaded footings on slopes

The stability of eccentrically loaded strip footings on slopes was investigated using the method of finite element analysis based on the theory of elasto-plasticity. The analysis was done for two different soils involving three levels of slope angle, six footing locations, and two levels of load eccentricity plus central vertical loading. The strip footing analysed was a 3-ft (0.9 m) wide reinforced concrete footing embedded to a depth of 3 ft (0.9 m). The analysis focused on footing settlement, plastic yielding of soil, and ultimate bearing capacity. The results of analysis show that the influence of load eccentricity on footing pressure vs. footing centre settlement is negligibly small. However, the progressive soil yielding and ultimate bearing capacity are greatly affected by load eccentricity. Furthermore, the effect of load eccentricity differs considerably with the load location relative to the footing centre and slope crest. The ultimate bearing capacity for the eccentric load located on the slope side is significantly greater than that for the load located on the other side of the footing centre. For a 2(H): 1(V) slope in silty clay, the effect of slope on footing stability decreases with increasing footing location from slope crest as would be expected, and diminishes when the footing is located from the crest at about 5-times the footing width.     

Bearing Capacity of Eccentrically–Obliquely Loaded Footings Resting on Fiber-Reinforced Sand

This paper presents the method proposed to calculate the bearing capacity of a square footing under oblique and eccentric oblique loading condition (satisfying both shear failure and settlement criteria) resting on fiber reinforced sand layer underlain by sand with geosynthetic/fabric sheet at the interface. Large direct shear tests were carried out to investigate the shear strength parameters of sand and randomly distributed fiber reinforced sand (RDFS) and soil-plastic fabric sheet bond. The ultimate bearing capacity of RDFS was determined using direct shear results. Non-dimensional charts proposed by Kumar (Behaviour of eccentrically–obliquely loaded footing on reinforced earth slab. Ph.D. thesis, University of Roorkee, Roorkee, India, 2002) were used to consider the contribution of plastic fabric sheet in increasing the bearing capacity. Also, for calculating the settlement, horizontal deformation and tilt at a given pressure the regression analysis of plate load test data have been carried out. The predicted values of ultimate bearing capacity, settlement, horizontal deformation and tilt are compared with the experimental values which are in good agreement with each other. There appeared to be an increase in the residual shear strength and angle of internal friction of RDFS.     

横-竖立体加筋地基中附加应力的分析计算

建立了横-竖立体加筋（H-V筋）地基的有限元模型,通过分析地基中的竖向应力分布、水平向位移分布以及筋-土界面相互作用,发现横-竖立体加筋地基中的竖向应力在筋材下方出现扩散和重分布,并逐渐向土体下部传递,使得土体中整体的应力分布更加均匀;同时,横-竖筋材中的竖筋类似于一个侧壁,其提供的垂直侧向力约束了介于竖筋间的土体,限制了土体的侧向水平位移,使得地基中筋材上部土体的侧向水平位移变小。基于有限元模拟对横-竖立体加筋地基加固机制的认识,将横-竖立体筋视为作用在地基上的一维弹性地基梁,通过弹性地基梁理论,根据弗拉曼解推导求解了横-竖立体加筋地基中任意一点竖向附加应力的计算表达式。将模型计算结果与有限元模拟所得结果进行对比发现两者吻合良好。     

Experimental Study of Bearing Capacity of Granular Soils,Reinforced with Innovative Grid-Anchor System

The pull-out resistance of reinforcing elements is one of the most significant factors in increasing the bearing capacity of geosynthetic reinforced soils. In this research a new reinforcing element that includes elements (anchors) attached to ordinary geogrid for increasing the pull-out resistance of reinforcements is introduced. Reinforcement therefore consists of geogrid and anchors with cubic elements that attached to the geogrid, named (by the authors) Grid-Anchor. A total of 45 load tests were performed to investigate the bearing capacity of square footing on sand reinforced with this system. The effect of depth of the first reinforcement layer, the vertical spacing, the number and width of reinforcement layers, the distance that anchors are effective, effect of relative density, low strain stiffness and stiffness after local shear were investigated. Laboratory tests showed that when a single layer of reinforcement is used there is an optimum reinforcement embedment depth for which the bearing capacity is the greatest. There also appeared to be an optimum vertical spacing of reinforcing layers for multi-layer reinforced sand. The bearing capacity was also found to increase with increasing number of reinforcement layer, if the reinforcement were placed within a range of effective depth. The effect of soil density also is investigated. Finally the results were compared with the bearing capacity of footings on non-reinforced sand and sand reinforced with ordinary geogrid and the advantages of the Grid-Anchor were highlighted. Test results indicated that the use of Grid-Anchor to reinforce the sand increased the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow square footing by a factor of 3.0 and 1.8 times compared to that for un-reinforced soil and soil reinforced with ordinary geogrid, respectively.     

软黏土中张紧式吸力锚循环承载力简化计算方法

张紧式吸力锚是一种重要的深水浮式平台基础。深水环境中,海底浅层沉积物多为饱和软黏土。软黏土中平均荷载与循环荷载共同作用下吸力锚的循环承载力对其设计至关重要。根据最佳系泊点受倾斜荷载作用下吸力锚的破坏模式,假设不同破坏区土体具有相同的平均剪应力,且平均剪应力与循环剪切强度比等于吸力锚所受静荷载与静荷载和循环荷载之和的比值。结合室内土性试验获得的饱和软黏土样不固结不排水归一化循环剪切强度随归一化平均剪应力的变化关系曲线,建立了破坏区土体不排水循环剪切强度的确定方法。对不同破坏区土体阻力进行分析,按照水平应力具有连续性这一特点,构建了上部滑动楔体破坏区与深部平面流动破坏区交界深度的计算方法,进而提出了计算吸力锚循环承载力的简化极限平衡方法。采用该方法对竖向和水平破坏模式吸力锚循环承载力模型试验结果进行了预测,预测与试验结果基本吻合,最小和最大偏差分别为0.79 %和16.08 %,平均偏差为5.74 %,可较好地反映吸力锚循环承载力随循环破坏次数增加而减小的变化关系,验证了该方法的可行性。     

Drained bearing response of shallow foundations on structured soils

This paper examines the drained bearing response of circular footings resting on structured soil deposits. Numerical simulations have been carried out using a finite element formulation of the Structured Cam Clay model. A parametric study was conducted by varying the parameters that govern the behaviour of structured soils and guidelines are given for designers to identify when effects of the soil structure are important. Under fully drained conditions, deformation within the structured soil supporting the footing usually occurs as a local or punching shear failure due to high compressibility of the structured soil and the mobilised bearing pressure increases with the footing movement, without reaching an ultimate value. A novel approximate method is presented to obtain the load–displacement response of a rigid circular footing resting on the surface of a structured soil deposit. This requires the properties of the soil in the reconstituted state and two additional parameters, which govern the natural structure of the soil. The proposed method has been applied to a published case study, where plate load test results are given for rigid circular steel plates resting on structured soil deposits. Fair agreement is observed between the computed and experimental results, suggesting the approximate method may be useful in design studies of foundations on structured soil deposits.     

条形基础加筋砂土地基极限承载力计算

基于传统的极限平衡条分法,利用临界滑动场法计算了条形基础的加筋地基极限承载力。假定土体处于极限平衡状态时,土体与筋材间存在均匀的摩擦力,通过建立土体条块极限平衡方程,推导了地基承载力的递推关系式。首先,设定计算土体范围,并划分条块和离散状态点;其次,根据递推公式计算各个状态点的参数,并搜索临界滑面;最后,根据搜索出的滑面计算地基承载力。通过实例比较进一步验证了计算结果的可靠性,并分析了首层筋带埋深、铺设层数和长度对地基承载力和滑面位置的影响。研究结果表明：地基承载力随着筋带埋深的增加先增大后减小;随着层数和长度的增加先逐渐增大,最后趋于稳定;滑面位置的变化规律主要是垂直影响深度和水平影响范围增大或减小。该方法原理简单、易于编程,为条形基础加筋地基承载力的计算提供了一种新思路,是临界滑动场法在地基承载力计算中的推广应用。
