条形荷载作用于挡土墙的侧压力计算

挡土墙受连续铅直均布荷载作用时的侧压力以往只是按朗肯作图法近似计算,其中存在不阔问题。本文从计算附加应力的布西涅斯克解答出发,假定条形作用荷载是矩形作用荷载的特殊情况,分别讨论条形铅直均布荷载生趣于挡土墙和平行于挡土墙作用时,在墙背处引起的侧压力计算公式。     

矩形基础受垂直荷载作用下地基土中任意点的竖向附加应力系数计算公式

矩形基础受垂直均布荷载作用下,地基土中任一点的附加应力虽然可以通过角点法和应力叠加原理求得,但是除了矩形角点下各点计算较容易外,其余的点计算均较繁琐;矩形基础受垂直三角形分布荷载作用下,矩形基底面积垂直投影范围内地基土中各点的附加应力虽然可以通过角点法和应力叠加原理求得,但是除基底荷载分布为零的边的角点下各点计算较容易外,其余的点计算都很繁琐,而矩形基底面积外的点则无法计算。本文通过推导得出两个公式,借助电脑,能很容易地计算矩形基础受垂直荷载作用下地基土中任意点的附加应力系数,并通过计算对比,验证了公式是正确的。     

挡土墙受局部连续荷载作用的附加土压力

求解附加应力的布西涅斯克解答和弗拉曼解答与朗肯土压力理论结合,可用来计算挡土墙受矩形铅直均布荷载和条形铅直均布荷载作用,在墙背处引起的附加主动土压力和附加被动土压力的变化情况,这种计算方法可以较准确的考虑荷载作用型式,作用位置,作用范围和极限平衡状态的影响,可以反映外荷通过填土传递过程的变化,得出的附加土压力较小。

Y型桩桩端阻力产生附加应力的分析计算

Y型沉管灌注桩截面形式复杂,截面几何特性存在4个独立控制变量、8个积分区间。Y型桩桩端均布荷载在地基内部任意点产生附加应力系数的解析表达式求解困难,目前尚无得出简单的解析表达式。借助数学分析软件Mathematica的NIntegrate数值积分功能,以及Geddes推导应力解的思想,得出了Y型桩桩端均布荷载作用在地基内部任意点竖向附加应力系数的数值计算方法,经校核有很高精度。分析了Y型截面4个独立变量外包圆半径R、模板弧度?、开弧间距s、夹角度数? 对附加应力系数的影响及采用Geddes应力解计算产生的误差。分析了随荷载作用面积变化、计算深度变化Y型、三角形、矩形、方形、圆形、圆环、H形、T形截面桩端均布荷载作用在地基内部时截面中心点下附加应力系数的差异及变化规律。将考虑Y型桩截面形状的附加应力计算方法应用于Y型桩单桩的沉降计算,计算结果与静载荷试验数据吻合较好。     

非线性被动土压力

用双曲线数学模型描述被动土压力变化和挡土结构位移变化的关系。基于Mindlin弹性解,推导了土体某深度矩形区域作用均布水平荷载时该矩形区域内任意点水平位移的表达式,并用该表达式确定双曲线模型初始刚度。应用对数螺旋线被动土压力理论求解被动土压力,把该法求解的做图过程转化为数学迭代过程。算例表明,这样的被动土压力理论概念明确,结果准确。      

竖向圆形荷载作用下弹性地基半空间问题的解析解

竖向圆形荷载作用下弹性半空间问题的位移和应力解是桩基分析的基础。利用Hankel积分变换,首先导出了弹性地基半空间位移与应力的积分形式的通解。通过适当地引入边界条件和界面位移和应力的连续条件,求得了内部作用竖向圆形荷载时弹性地基半空间位移与应力的积分形式解。在此基础上,给出了不同深度处荷载作用投影范围内竖向位移和竖向正应力的平均值。数值结果验证了解析解的正确性。     

条形荷载下黏性土主动土压力计算

依据库仑土压力理论假设,挡土墙土压力由墙后填土在极限平衡状态下出现滑动楔体产生,推导出考虑滑裂面上填土的黏聚力、墙土间黏聚力、黏性土表面出现张拉裂缝、条形荷载下的黏性土主动土压力计算式,并给出临界破裂角的显式解答。当墙后作用有连续均布荷载或不考虑黏性填土表面出现裂缝时,只需取条形荷载到墙顶的距离或计算的裂缝深度为0即可按相同的方法求解。研究表明,由于未考虑条形荷载对临界破裂角的影响,规范方法得到土压力值偏小。该公式适用范围广,尤其对于条形荷载作用墙后任意位置时均可应用,对实际工程中挡土墙的设计计算具有一定应用价值。     

Gamma-ray bursts as a result of the interaction of a shock from a supernova and a neutron-star companion

A supernova explosion in a close binary system in which one of the components is a compact magnetized object (neutron star or white dwarf) can form a narrow “tail” with length l _t ～10⁹ cm, width h _t ～10⁸ cm, and magnetic field B _t ～10⁶, due to the resulting shock wave flowing around the magnetosphere of the compact object. The energy released by the reconnection of magnetic field lines in this tail can accelerate electrons to relativistic speeds (γ≈10⁴), creating the conditions required for powerful synchrotron radiation at energies from hundreds of keV to several MeV, i.e., for a gamma-ray burst (GRB). The duration of this radiation will depend on the power of the shock that forms during the supernova. If the shock is not sufficiently powerful to tear off the magnetosphere tail from the compact object, the duration of the GRB will not exceed l _t /V _A ≤1 s, and the conditions necessary for an “afterglow” at softer energies will not arise. If the shock is more powerful, the tail can be torn from the magnetosphere, forming a narrow ejection, which is perceived in its relativistic motion toward the observer(Γ～10⁴) as an afterglow whose duration grows from tens of seconds at gamma-ray energies to tens of days in the optical. This may explain why afterglows are observed only in association with long GRBs (T ₉₀>10 s). Very short GRBs (T ₉₀<0.1 s) may be local, i.e., low-power, phenomena occurring in close pairs containing compact, magnetized objects, in which there is again an interaction between the magnetosphere of the compact object and a shock wave, but the shock is initiated by a flare on the companion, which is a red-dwarf cataclysmic variable, rather than by a supernova.     

Coupled consolidation of a porous medium with a cylindrical or a spherical cavity

This paper presents a theoretical approach to analyse coupled, linear thermoporoelastic fields in a saturated porous medium under radial and spherical symmetry. The governing equations account for compressibility and thermal expansion of constituents, heat sink due to thermal dilatation of water and thermal expansion of the medium, and thermodynamically coupled heat–water flow. It has been reported in the literature that thermodynamically coupled heat–water flows known as thermo-osmosis and thermal filtration have the potential to significantly alter the flow fields in clay-rich barriers in the near field of a underground waste containment scheme. This study presents a mathematical model and examines the effects of thermo-osmosis and thermal-filtration on coupled consolidation fields in a porous medium with a cavity. Analytical solutions of the governing equations are presented in the Laplace transform space. A numerical inversion scheme is used to obtain the time-domain solutions for a cylindrical cavity in a homogeneous or a non-homogeneous medium. A closed form time-domain solution is presented for a spherical cavity in a homogeneous medium. Selected numerical solutions for homogeneous and non-homogeneous media show a significant increase in pore pressure and displacements due to the presence of thermodynamically coupled flows and a negligible influence on temperature. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Physical properties of a horizon of a white hole and a Kruskal wormhole

The possible application of a Rindler type reference frame for studies of physical processes near the horizons of black and white holes is considered. New similar reference frames inside black and white holes in the region T of a Kruskal wormhole are introduced.     

Propagation of a shear crack in a compressed plane with a circular hole

The problem of the equilibrium of a plane with a circular hole and a shear crack is considered to model failure of an excavation (borehole or circular opening) in rocks weakened by discontinuities (planes of weakness). It is assumed that sliding occurs in a part of the plane of weakness when the Mohr–Coulomb friction criterion is satisfied due to the stress redistribution caused by the excavation. The method of singular integral equations is employed to solve the boundary value problem. Geomechanical problems concerning borehole breakout and rockburst caused by fault-opening interaction are discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Scattering of a plane wave by a lined cylindrical cavity in a poroelastic half-plane

The focus of this contribution is to develop a complex variable function method to solve the two-dimensional scattering of plane waves by a lined cylindrical cavity in the poroelastic half-plane. The poroelastic half-plane is based on Biot’s dynamic theory, and the governing equations are solved by reduction to three Helmholtz equations. The lining structure can be treated as an elastic material and decoupled into two Helmholtz equations. Here, the large circle assumption is applied to simulate the half-plane boundary. By using appropriate boundary conditions and continuity conditions, the unknown coefficients in the potentials can be determined. Selected numerical results are presented in this paper.     

On a controversial method for modeling a coregionalization

This paper reviews two alternative approaches for modeling the (cross) variograms in a coregionalization: (1) fitting the traditional linear model of coregionalization. or (2) deducing the crossvariogram model as a linear combination of prior direct (auto) variogram models while checking the Cauchy-Schwarz inequalities. We show that the second approach has no practical advantage over the traditional one and may not be valid if more than two variables are involved. In such case. Cauchy-Schwarz inequalities are necessary but not sufficient conditions for validity of a coregionalization model.     

The Behaviour of a Reinforced Soil Mattress Spanning a Cavity Modelled in a Geotechnical Centrifuge

Sinkholes can occur on land underlain by dolomite and cause substantial damage to buildings and even loss of life. More than four million people work or reside on dolomite land in South Africa and it is therefore important to be able to construct safely on dolomite land and to minimise the risk of damage to infrastructure and loss of life. Compacted soil mattresses are often used to found structures on areas underlain by dolomite. This study investigated the effect of tensile reinforcement on the behaviour of a soil mattress spanning an underlying water filled cavity designed to impose a cover subsidence sinkhole. Three small-scale models, each consisting of a soil mattress with a cover subsidence sinkhole forming underneath, were constructed and tested in a geotechnical centrifuge. In the first test, an unreinforced soil mattress was tested and in two more tests, reinforced soil mattresses with different reinforcement strengths were tested. The settlement of the unreinforced soil mattress was initially less than that of the reinforced soil mattresses up to the point at which it failed suddenly. Neither of the reinforced soil mattresses failed suddenly, but both experienced large surface settlements that would have led to substantial damage to an overhead structure.     

Impact force to a rigid obstruction from a granular mass sliding down a smooth incline

The impact force to a rigid obstruction from a granular mass sliding down a smooth incline provides insights into the solid-like and fluid-like behaviors of granular avalanches and useful information for risk assessment and engineering design against landslides. In this study, a series of 2-D flume tests were performed to systematically investigate the effects of inclination angle, sliding distance, and initial relative density on the flow front velocity and impact force on a rigid obstruction. The experimental results show that for inclination angles smaller than the critical state friction angle of sand, an increase in the sliding distance and/or initial relative density results in smaller impact forces; for higher inclination angles, the trend is reversed. Based on the experimental results, an analytical equation is proposed to estimate the flow front velocity and an empirical approach is presented to estimate the maximum impact force based on elastic solid and hydrodynamic methods. The proposed equations are found to provide more accurate predictions for the maximum impact force than similar equations in the literature.     

露头处具有淤泥层的滨海含水层系统中海潮引起的水头波动

滨海地区社会与经济的发展引发了各种各样的水文地质问题, 因此对滨海地区的水文地质条件, 尤其是地下水与海水之间的水力联系的研究尤为重要.本文考察了海底露头处具有淤泥层的滨海含水层系统中由海潮引起的水头波动.该系统由潜水含水层、承压含水层和介于其间的弱透水层构成.建立了该系统的数学模型, 得到了该模型的解析解.该解析解包含2个无量纲参数: 弱透水层的相对越流系数和淤泥层的相对透水系数.解析解表明, 淤泥层使各处的水头波幅被缩小了一个常数倍(波幅缩减因子), 并使各处的波动相位产生了一个不超过45°的正位移常数(时滞).该时滞对半日潮不超过1.5h, 对全日潮不超过3h.波幅缩减因子和正位移常数只与弱透水层的相对越流系数和淤泥层的相对透水系数有关.当这两个无量纲参数取某些特殊值时, 本次研究的解和前人考虑的几种较简单情形所对应的解一致.承压含水层中水头波幅随着淤泥层的相对透水系数的递增而严格递增, 随弱透水层的相对越流系数的递增而严格递减; 波动相位随着这2个无量纲参数的递增均严格递减.分析表明弱透水层的越流和淤泥层的存在均对承压含水层水头波动有显著影响.      

Locating a point on a spherical surface relative to a spherical polygon of arbitrary shape

An algorithm for determining if any given point,P, on the surface of a sphere is located inside, outside, or along the border of an arbitrary spherical polygon,S, is described. The polygon is described by specifying coordinates of its vertices, and coordinates of some pointX which is known to lie withinS. The algorithm is based on the principle that an arc joiningX andP will cross the border ofS an odd number of times ifP lies outsideS, and an even number of times ifP lies withinS. The algorithm has been implemented as a set of FORTRAN subroutines, and a listing is provided. The algorithm and subroutine package can be used with spherical polygons containing holes, or with composited spherical polygons.
