均匀黏弹性地基中现浇X形桩低应变动测响应数值模拟

建立现浇X形桩(XCC桩)桩-土体系三维有限元模型,对XCC桩低应变检测动力响应进行数值模拟,得到完整桩和缺陷桩的桩顶速度响应结果,并分析完整桩及缺陷XCC桩桩顶速度响应特性及规律。计算结果表明:XCC桩低应变瞬态动测时桩顶速度响应存在明显的三维效应,桩心(激振点)附近点的入射波峰值较大,且到达时间较早;距离桩心越远点的入射波峰到达时间越滞后,入射波峰值从桩心到尖角边界先减小后增大。桩顶距桩心距离相同的环向上各点的入射波和反射波区别不大,而各点所受的高频干扰情况并不相同。变模量桩的入射波和完整桩相同,反射波峰值较完整桩小,反射波峰对应时间较完整桩滞后。局部缺陷桩桩顶距桩心距离相同环向各点的第一个缺陷反射波有微小差别,而第二个缺陷反射波有较大差别。     

Wave equation analyses of tapered FRP–concrete piles in dense sand

Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP)–concrete composites provide an attractive alternative to conventional pile materials such as steel, concrete and wood by improving the durability of deep foundations. In the current study, FRP tubes with different taper angles are filled with self-consolidating concrete (SCC) and driven into dense sand that is enclosed in a large pressurized soil chamber. Driving tests are conducted on FRP–SCC composite piles to determine how the pile material and geometric configuration affect its driving performance. Dynamic data is employed to determine the soil parameters in the TNO model (i.e., soil quake and damping constant) using the DLTWAVE signal-matching program. The driveability of FRP–SCC and traditional pile materials is compared using the wave equation analysis program PDPWAVE. The experimental data and the wave equation analyses indicate that the taper shape has a favourable effect on the driveability and static resistance of piles. It is also found that the driveability of FRP–SCC composite piles is similar to that of conventional prestressed concrete and steel piles. However, empty FRP tubes required a much higher driving energy. Their low flexural resistance along with risk of buckling can hinder their driveability in different soil conditions.

桩身材料阻尼对波传播特性影响的小波分析方法

理论计算及实测资料表明,反射波法基桩动测激振信号近似为半周期正弦波,不同激振方式产生的桩顶速度脉冲信号宽度不同,相应频率成分也就不同。桩身内阻尼对不同频率谐波的幅值衰减及频散规律不同,使得不同激振方式产生的复合脉冲在同一桩中会有不同变化规律,为了使不同激振方式测试资料具有可比性,应采用相同频带进行对比。为此利用小波分析的时-频特性,通过对测试信号进行时频分解,就桩身内阻尼对不同频带信号的吸收系数及波速的影响规律进行了研究。对实测资料分析的结果表明,预制桩不同频带信号波速变化不大,但衰减系数随频率增大近似线性增加。     

An elastic-wave-based full-wavefield imaging method for investigating defects in a high-speed railway under-track structure

In geotechnical engineering, defect detection for concrete structure can be simplified as a multi-layered media problem in most cases. The types of defects are mainly identified as cracks inside the concrete, interlaminar peeling, and loose bedding voids. The study of the wave propagation phenomenon in multi-scale layered media and the effects on defects merits investigation. The present research focuses first on the analysis of this phenomenon using numerical methods. The wave propagation characteristics of the multi-layered model with defects are assessed with dynamic FEM analyses under three-dimensional conditions. The analysis is obtained in the time domain and allows the consideration of multiple wave reflections between layers. Based on this analysis, a full-wavefield imaging detection method is developed and then applied to reveal the defects in the under-track structure of a high-speed railway. This testing system integrates the point-source/point-receiver scheme with the multi-directional imaging technique to achieve an effect analogous to that achieved with scanning. It is equipped with an impacting hammer, a series of three-component velocity transducers and a signal capturing unit. To evaluate the feasibility of this system for detecting defects in the under-track structure of the high-speed railway, a full-scaled high-speed railway model test with pre-setting defection is conducted. The data are analyzed according to characteristics of waveform and wave energy. The average amplitude is used to evaluate the defect area. It is concluded that the full-wavefield imaging detection method exhibits high potential for inspecting the defects of the under-track structure of high-speed railways by imaging.     

系梁对桩柱式基础反射波法检测影响的计算及现场试验

Cyclic behavior of laterally loaded concrete piles embedded into cohesive soil

Modern seismic design codes stipulate that the response analysis should be conducted by considering the complete structural system including superstructure, foundation, and ground. However, for the development of seismic response analysis method for a complete structural system, it is first imperative to clarify the behavior of the soil and piles during earthquakes. In this study, full‐scale monotonic and reversed cyclic lateral loading tests were carried out on concrete piles embedded into the ground. The test piles were hollow, precast, prestressed concrete piles with an outer diameter of 300 mm and a thickness of 60 mm. The test piles were 26 m long. Three‐dimensional (3D) finite element analysis was then performed to study the behavior of the experimental specimens analytically. The study revealed that the lateral load‐carrying capacity of the piles degrades when subjected to cyclic loading compared with monotonic loading. The effect of the use of an interface element between the soil and pile surface in the analysis was also investigated. With proper consideration of the constitutive models of soil and pile, an interface element between the pile surface and the soil, and the degradation of soil stiffness under cyclic loading, a 3D analysis was found to simulate well the actual behavior of pile and soil.

Centrifuge modelling of raked piles

Inclined piles are prohibited by many codes in seismic areas. Nevertheless the battered effect has not yet been clarified because very few data are available. The present work is a comparison, at reduced scale in the centrifuge, of the response of two simplified pile groups: a 1 × 2 vertical piles and 1 × 2 pile group with one inclined pile. Two configurations are considered: end-bearing and floating pile group, both with pile heads rigidly fixed with a massive cap. First, repeatability tests under horizontal cyclic loading were performed on both floating pile groups. Secondly, repeated horizontal impact tests were performed on both end-bearing pile groups. These impact tests, which highlight the influence of inclined piles on the inertial response of a group, are a first step for the more complex analysis of the performance of such groups under seismic loads where inertial and kinematic interactions are combined. The first part of this work revealed the influence of sand structure around the inclined pile tip on the repeatability of the tests performed on floating pile groups. The second part highlighted differences in the dynamic response between the two end-bearing pile groups through measurements of the pile cap acceleration, the bending moment profile and the axial load in the piles.     

Characteristics of non-uniform cross-section piles in drivability

A numerical analysis of pile driving for tapered piles is presented in this paper. A three-dimensional finite difference analysis for tapered angle and geometry effects has been used on pile driving response of tapered piles. The simulation considers an idealization for pile–soil system in drivability. The vertical pile is assumed to have linear and elastic behavior. It is also assumed that the soil is elasto-plastic material and its failure stage is controlled using the Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion. At the soil–pile contact surfaces along the pile shaft and pile toe, slip is allowed to occur during the driving procedure using interface elements. Quiet boundaries are used to prevent waves traveling in the lateral and vertical directions for the soil. Cylindrical, fully tapered, and semi-tapered piles were analyzed. The results obtained from numerical analyses were compared with those obtained from available laboratory tests and also other available numerical data, resulting in a satisfactory agreement. The results have shown that among piles of the same length and material volume, with increasing the taper angle from zero (representing a cylindrical pile), the driving stresses decrease and the permanent pile toe settlement (set) increases. These are interesting in pile driving and are on the safe side for driven piles and increasing the driving efficiency. It has also been found that the geometry of the pile can generally influence the pile drivability. Generally speaking, tapered and partially tapered piles offer better drivability performance than cylindrical piles of the same volume and length.

Response of pile foundations to rayleigh waves and obliquely incident body waves

The paper presents results of a study on the harmonic response of piles and pile groups embedded in a halfspace to various forms of seismic waves. These include the Rayleigh wave as well as obliquely incident P, SV and SH waves. The pertinent mixed boundary value problems of pile-soil-pile interaction are solved by a numerical model of the boundary integral nature. All modes of foundation vibrations, i.e. translational, rocking and torsional, are included in the model. The results presented are used to highlight the salient features of the seismic response of piles. In addition, the influence of certain pile-soil parameters, such as pile rigidity and pile spacing, on the seismic behaviour of pile foundations is investigated.
