黏土颗粒间液桥从形成至断裂时毛细力的演化规律

颗粒间的毛细作用以及吸应力特征曲线分析

颗粒之间的毛细作用是分析湿颗粒体系力学特性的一个重要方面。考虑两球形颗粒与粒间弯液面的相互作用,采用打靶法求解得到了粒间气-液-固交界面的几何形状与基质吸力关系的精确解答,并与环形近似方法和数据拟合方法得到的粒间作用力进行了比较,分析了两种简化方法的精确度。在此基础上,分析了不同粒间间距、液-固接触角以及基质吸力时,两球形颗粒间由毛细作用引起的吸应力特征曲线。分析结果表明,当液体体积较小时,拟合方法得到的结果更好,而当液体体积较大时,采用环形近似得到的结果要比拟合方法更接近精确解,为非饱和土中吸力的认识以及非饱和土力学微观分析提供了一定的理论指导。

考虑围岩软化特性和应力释放的圆形隧道黏弹塑性解

将围岩的塑性应变软化特性引入到考虑应力释放的圆形隧道黏弹塑性解中,并且在围岩的软化和残余强度阶段考虑围岩的塑性体积膨胀特性,提出了考虑塑性软化以及塑性体积膨胀和围岩应力释放的圆形隧道弹塑性解。当软化系数k = ∞、膨胀系数h = s时,该解转化为黏弹-脆塑性解;当k = 0、h = s时,则转化为黏弹-理想塑性解,进一步令h = s = 1,则转化为不考虑塑性体积膨胀的黏弹-理想塑性解。通过具体实例计算,分析了掌子面与研究断面间距x、围岩的软化系数k、膨胀系数h和s、支护结构等对围岩塑性区、破碎区半径和变形的影响。当开挖面与研究断面间距x在(0~4)D（D为隧道直径）范围内,随着时间增加塑性圈和破碎区迅速增大;超过4D,塑性区和破碎区半径增量逐渐变小,趋于稳定值;围岩中包含塑性区和破碎区时,二者半径的比值只取决于围岩的性质,与支护结构无关,但支护结构可以限制塑性区及破碎区的范围;考虑应变软化和塑性体积膨胀时,围岩径向位移和塑性区及破碎区半径均大于不考虑应变软化和塑性体积膨胀时的结果;软化系数k增大,围岩位移、塑性区和破碎区半径增加、塑性区半径和破碎区半径之间的比值变小。得到的结果对于隧道工程设计和施工具有一定的指导性和参考价值。     

考虑土拱效应的管棚合理间距计算方法

管棚作为隧道安全穿越不良地质地段的超前支护结构,依靠土拱效应发挥其支护作用,管棚间距与成拱效应密切相关。通过引入合理拱轴线,并考虑侧向土压力的影响,结合管棚间土拱破坏条件给出了管棚合理间距的计算方法,通过凤咀江隧道工程实例和离散元对比分析,验证了计算方法的合理性。进一步分析了管棚间距随管棚所处位置的变化规律以及管棚直径、土体参数等对管棚间距的影响规律。结果表明：当侧向土压力系数较小时,拱腰至边墙处管棚间距可适当调大;当侧向土压力系数较大时,拱顶至拱腰处管棚间距应适当减小。管棚间距随管棚直径和土体黏聚力的增加而线性增加,且与土体内摩擦角数呈正相关关系,随内摩擦角增大,对管棚间距的影响也越来越大。     

EPS颗粒混合轻量土无侧限抗压强度特性试验研究

为研究EPS颗粒混合轻量土的密度、强度和变形特性,对不同水泥掺量、EPS颗粒掺量、含水率和龄期的轻量土进行密度无侧限抗压强度试验。试验配置轻量土无侧限抗压强度范围为103.2~1359.0 kPa,且随水泥掺量的增大呈指数关系增大的趋势,随EPS颗粒体积比的增大而呈线性关系减小的趋势。在大于最优含水率情况下,含水率越高,无侧限抗压强度越低,两者为指数关系,而龄期的增长能够使得轻量土的无侧限抗压强度呈双曲线增大的趋势。EPS颗粒混合轻量土的应力-应变关系曲线主要表现为应变软化型,含水率和EPS颗粒体积比的增大会使得轻量土的应力-应变关系曲线逐渐向硬化型转化。水泥掺量和龄期的增大能够增强轻量土的脆性特征,增大刚度。而含水率和EPS颗粒体积比的增大则使得轻量土的延性特征增强,刚度减小。研究成果对实际工程应用具有参考价值。     

邻近堆载作用下排桩负摩擦力特性研究

利用三维非线性弹性有限元方法研究了承受邻近堆载作用的排桩的负摩擦力特性,分析了排桩间距以及堆载与排桩之间距离的变化对桩身负摩擦力特性的影响,揭示了该类桩桩身轴力的变化规律。研究表明：随着堆载的增大,桩身轴力也随之增大,当堆载增至一定值时,桩间土产生土拱效应,桩身轴力略为减小,堆载继续增大时,土拱效应遭到破坏,桩身轴力再次增大;当堆载增大到一定值时,桩顶部产生局部拉应力,且随着堆载与桩之间距离的增大而增大,中桩的拉应力比边桩要大;桩身最大轴力点位于0.65～0.75倍的桩长处,边桩的轴力大于中桩;随着桩距的增大,桩身轴力也随之增大,而土拱效应削弱;当堆载距排桩一定距离时,桩身轴力达到最大。     

珊瑚砂高压力下一维蠕变分形破碎及颗粒形状分析

珊瑚砂是一种含钙极高的海洋生物成因材料,具有高棱角性、形状不规则、易破碎等特点。通过珊瑚砂的高压一维蠕变试验,研究颗粒破碎引起颗粒分布曲线和形状因子的演化规律。借助于高速动态图像的激光粒度粒形仪器,从统计学的角度分析试验前后颗粒形状随压力演化的关系,发现颗粒的形状因子,如长宽比、球形度和凹凸度等,随压力增加而逐渐增加。不同粒径的颗粒形状因子均向一个窄幅范围趋近,说明颗粒破碎具有无尺度性和自相似性的分形特性,分形维数随压力增加而逐渐增大,且趋近分形破碎极限。采用Hardin和Einav的方法计算相对破碎量,发现在两种计算方法下相对破碎量与压力呈幂函数关系,且幂指数相同。相对破碎量随时间增加的现象并不明显,说明在高压力下颗粒破碎主要为压缩破碎,且颗粒细化滑移填充孔隙引起的变形是造成蠕变的主要原因。     

Derivation of soil water retention curve incorporating electrochemical effects

Water retention of clayey soils with wide particle size distributions involves a combination of capillary and adsorbed layers effects that result into suction–saturation relations spanning over multiple decades of matric suction values. The present study provides a physics-based analysis to reproduce the water retention curve of such soils based solely on particle size distribution and porosity. The distribution of inter-particle pore sizes is inferred through a probabilistic treatment of the particle size distribution, which is then used, together with an assigned pore entry pressure, to estimate the inter-particle water volume at a given suction. The contribution to water content from adsorbed layers is also taken into account by considering the balance of electrochemical forces between water and clay material. The total water content is therefore found by summing up the contribution of inter-particle water, as well as adsorbed layers that form around clay particles and around the individual clay platelets. Comparisons with experimental results on nine different soil samples verify the capability of the model in accurately predicting the wide water retention curves without any prior calibration. Additional to capturing the essential features of the water retention curve with remarkable detail, the analytical model also provides insights into the relative contributions of capillary and adsorbed waters to the overall saturation at different suction regimes. Being based upon easily accessible information such as particle size distribution and void ratio, the model can therefore be considered as a substitute for costly and lengthy laboratory and in situ measurements of water retention curve.

     

Micromechanical aspects of the shear strength of wet granular soils

This paper presents a micromechanical model for the analysis of wet granular soils at low saturation (below 30%). The discrete element method is employed to model the solid particles. The capillary water is assumed to be in a pendular state and thus exists in the form of liquid bridges at the particle‐to‐particle contacts. The resulting inter‐particle adhesion is accounted for using the toroidal approximation of the bridge. Hydraulic hysteresis is accounted for based on the possible mechanism of the formation and breakage of the liquid bridges during wetting and drying phases. Shear test computational simulations were conducted at different water contents under relatively low net normal stresses. The results of these simulations suggest that capillary‐induced attractive forces and hydraulic hysteresis play an important role in affecting the shear strength of the soil. These attractive forces produce a tensile stress that contributes to the apparent cohesion of the soil and increases its stiffness. During a drying phase, capillary‐induced tensile stresses, and hence shear strength, tend to be larger than those during a wetting phase. The proposed model appears to capture the macroscopic response of wet granular materials and revealed a number of salient micromechanical mechanisms and response patterns consistent with theoretical considerations.

基于离散元法的砂土破碎演化规律研究

颗粒破碎是影响砂土宏-微观力学性质的重要因素。采用改进型的可破碎颗粒生成方法,通过设置不同强度的平行黏结键模拟不同强度的可破碎颗粒,并借用基于离散元方法（DEM）的双轴压缩试验详细研究了可破碎性土在剪切过程中颗粒破碎率/平均破碎程度、微观尺度上的能量耗散分配机制、剪切破碎带形成以及断裂键各向异性的演化过程。结果表明,颗粒破碎强烈地影响砂土在宏观尺度上的力学响应、颗粒尺度上的能量分配机制以及剪切过程中的颗粒的组织结构演化。颗粒破碎主要影响小应变阶段各能量耗散元的分配机制,而在临界状态下剪切带内的颗粒摩擦以及破碎耗能是消耗外界功的主要因素。数值结果亦表明,颗粒的破碎伴随着整个剪切过程,但破碎率的增长速度却随着剪切应变的发展逐渐降低。另外,在剪切过程中,对于低破碎性土,在临界状态下剪切破碎带基本形成,带内的原有组织结构被打乱,断裂键的各向异性也随之弱化。     

干燥失水条件下膨胀土的细观裂隙演化特征研究

干燥失水现象是引起膨胀土裂隙萌生和扩展的关键性因素,裂隙的演化过程对土体结构完整性和地基的长期稳定与安全具有重要影响。为了研究膨胀土干缩裂隙的演化特点,对原状土试样开展显微CT扫描试验,结合图像分析技术获取了土体细观裂隙的二维/三维图像与特征参数,从定性和定量角度分析了干缩裂隙的演化规律。结果表明：三维重构后的数字模型还原了膨胀土在干燥过程中的体积收缩特征,与试样实测的体积有较好的一致性;从显微CT图像中可以提取细观裂隙的量化指标,如裂隙率、裂隙数量、裂隙体积与裂隙结构特征参数等;随着含水率从24.0%下降至12.0%,膨胀土的裂隙率、裂隙体积呈增大趋势,裂隙数量呈减小趋势;根据裂隙的体积和几何形态特征将其分为连通裂隙和独立裂隙,干燥过程中连通裂隙的体积占比显著提高,独立裂隙数量不断减少;球棒模型有效地模拟了膨胀土裂隙的几何形态特征,在干燥失水过程中等效孔隙半径、喉道半径、喉道长度与孔喉配位数均有增大趋势,裂隙连通性显著增强;SEM图像表明细观裂隙的连通与黏土颗粒排列形式、粒间孔隙发育程度等存在重要关联。     

Influence of liquid bridges on the mechanical behaviour of polydisperse granular materials

We investigate a polydisperse granular material in which the particle interactions are governed by a capillary force law. The cohesion force for a grain‐pair with unequal diameters is expressed as an explicit function of the inter‐particle distance and the volume of the liquid bridge. This analytical relation is validated by experiments on a reference material. Then, it is completed by a rupture criterion and cast in the form of a force law that accounts for solid contact, capillary force and rupture characteristics of a grain‐pair. Finally, in order to evaluate the influence of capillary cohesion on the macroscopic behaviour, radial and axial compression tests on cylindrical assemblies of wet particles are simulated using a 3D distinct element method.

Discrete element method simulations of the seismic response of shallow foundations including soil‐foundation‐structure interaction

A novel three‐dimensional particle‐based technique utilizing the discrete element method is proposed to analyze the seismic response of soil‐foundation‐structure systems. The proposed approach is employed to investigate the response of a single‐degree‐of‐freedom structure on a square spread footing founded on a dry granular deposit. The soil is idealized as a collection of spherical particles using discrete element method. The spread footing is modeled as a rigid block composed of clumped particles, and its motion is described by the resultant forces and moments acting upon it. The structure is modeled as a column made of particles that are either clumped to idealize a rigid structure or bonded to simulate a flexible structure of prescribed stiffness. Analysis is done in a fully coupled scheme in time domain while taking into account the effects of soil nonlinear behavior, the possible separation between foundation base and soil caused by rocking, the possible sliding of the footing, and the dynamic soil‐foundation interaction as well as the dynamic characteristics of the superstructure. High fidelity computational simulations comprising about half a million particles were conducted to examine the ability of the proposed technique to model the response of soil‐foundation‐structure systems. The computational approach is able to capture essential dynamic response patterns. The cyclic moment–rotation relationships at the base center point of the footing showed degradation of rotational stiffness by increasing the level of strain. Permanent deformations under the foundation continued to accumulate with the increase in number of loading cycles. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Experimental study on height simulation of capillary fringe

In this paper, the plexiglass experimental column was used to analyze the capillary fringe thickness of three kinds of lithologies-silty sand, silt and silty clay-providing a basis for defining the interface in the study of hydrodynamics at the water table between vandose water and groundwater. The capillary fringe generally refers to the subsurface layer in which the groundwater seeps up to the air-entry suction value due to capillary action, and is nearly saturated with water. The thickness of the capillary fringe varies with different lithologies. In this experiment, self-made stable water supply devices were used to study the height of capillary rise, capillary water volume and capillary fringe thickness of the three lithologies through capillary experiment and numerical simulation. Experimental results show as follows:(1) Rising height of capillary water is related to time, particle radius, volume, etc., and the relationship between height and time is in line with the Hill model.(2) The smaller the particle radius, the more water the pores contain, and the ratio of the unsaturated portion of capillary water to the total water content gradually rises. Experimental results obtained by numerical simulation, segmentation and actual measurement are consistent.(3) The thickness of the capillary zone is related to the lithology. The larger the particle size, the smaller the thickness of the capillary fringe, and vice versa. In silty sand, the thickness measures about 13 cm. The figure rises to 16 cm in silt, and 37 cm in silty clay. This work studies the law of soil water transport at saturated-unsaturated interface. Experimental results are of great significance to the study of soil water and salt transport and soil salinization control in unsaturated zone.
