采用有限元强度折减法分析岸坡稳定是目前比较前沿的研究成果,该方法在获得抗力分项系数的同时,可以得到岸坡土体的应力、位移场、塑性区以及桩基对岸坡稳定的影响。对国内某突堤码头建立了有限元模型,土体采用与Mohr-Column准则匹配的Drucker-Prager弹塑性准则,首次利用强度折减有限元法分析了在桩基影响下的成层土岸坡稳定问题,并给出了抗力分项系数、塑性区和位移场,从而为高桩码头岸坡的稳定性计算提供参考依据。     

沙质岸坡上波浪传播变形及动力响应特性研究

波浪作用对水库岸坡稳定性有重要影响。为了解波浪在岸坡地形中的传播演变机制和孔隙水压力响应特性,在波浪水槽末端铺设长6 m、坡度1∶16的斜坡沙床进行试验。通过改变入射波浪参数,测量斜坡段各处波面形态,采集斜坡段不同位置处孔隙水压力,分析了波浪在沙质岸坡上浅水变形区域内波面变化特征、波能演变规律以及岸坡土体孔压特征。结果表明：随着入射波浪厄塞尔数的增大,波浪浅水变形更加明显,波形不对称性加剧,各阶谐波之间互相作用更加强烈;水深较大区域,岸坡渗透作用大于浅水变形作用,波高呈现减小趋势;浅水变形剧烈区,浅水变形作用大于岸坡渗透作用,波高呈现增大趋势,最终破碎;孔压随入射波高与波周期的增大而增大,岸坡不同位置处孔压沿深度衰减速率和随波高增长速率均不同;岸坡孔压沿深度衰减速率与入射波周期呈现出正相关关系,与波高并无太大关系。     

埕岛海区水下岸坡沉积物不稳定运动的区域差异性

埕岛海区水下岸坡是海底不稳定活动的频发地带,存在着海底差异冲蚀、残留岗丘、沉积物块体运动等灾害地质,对海上工程设施造成极大威胁.通过对海区多波束、声呐、浅剖等声学调查资料的分析,结合前人研究成果,对水下岸坡沉积物块体运动的区域差异性进行了研究.认为埕岛水下岸坡区沉积物块体运动极为发育,受海区波浪诱发因素的控制,岸坡上部水深3～6 m的区域中,海底沉积物块体运动沿坡向深水方向水平运动的趋势明显,对海洋工程设施影响较大;岸坡下部,沉积物块体运动主要表现为向深部地层的扰动和区域性的失水塌陷压实作用.     

考虑软土蠕变对强度影响的高桩码头岸坡时变可靠度分析

考虑软土蠕变导致的土体抗剪强度的衰减效应,建立了软土长期强度模型,用以量化由于土体蠕变导致的土体抗剪强度参数随时间的变化规律。将时变可靠度理论结合有限元强度折减法,提出了考虑软土蠕变对强度影响的高桩码头岸坡时变可靠度算法。采用拉丁超立方抽样方法来改进传统蒙特卡罗法的随机抽样过程,提高计算效率。针对某一岸坡实例,将采用本文算法计算得到的可靠度结果与其他算法评估的结果进行对比分析,验证本文算法的可靠性。最后以我国沿海某高桩码头岸坡为例,基于本文算法评估了该码头岸坡的时变可靠度,分析了岸坡稳定性的时变规律。文中提出的时变可靠度分析方法不仅可以为在役高桩码头岸坡的安全评估提供强有力的技术支撑,同时也能为一些新建工程项目提供一定的参考应用价值。     

舟山岱山水道西部海床冲淤演变分析

根据1979,1996和2009年3个时期水深地形数据,利用GIS软件分析了岱山水道西部潮滩、水下岸坡和深槽区2个时段的冲淤变化。结果显示:1979-1996年的17 a间,研究区大部分区域冲淤幅度-般在±1 m以内,只有深槽局部区域冲刷大于2 m;1996-2009年的13 a间,潮滩区冲淤变化与1979-1996年间类似,有±1 m冲淤变化,而水下岸坡和深槽区的冲刷幅度明显加大,水下岸坡平均冲刷幅度达2 m,深槽区平均冲刷幅度达3 m。据分析, 1996年以后,水下岸坡和深槽区冲刷幅度明显加大的主要原因有两个:-是岱山水道水流流速较快,粘土质的底质容易遭受冲刷;另-个是在潮滩区至水下岸坡间建设了码头和栈桥,浅水区水流部分受阻,导致深水区域流速加大,从而加剧了水下岸坡和深槽区域的冲刷幅度。

泉州市砂质海岸侵蚀特征及原因分析

基于泉州市沿岸岸滩侵蚀状况调查,结合海岸动力地貌学知识研究,分析泉州市沿岸岸滩侵蚀状况.调查岸段有32个,对其进行采样拍照及侵蚀现状描述,对7个岸段进行了剖面调查及沉积物分析.研究表明泉州市沙质海岸以岬控岸和沙坝--泻湖为主,岬控岸的沉积物和剖面表现为中细粒沉积和岸坡由近岸向海变平缓,而沙坝--泻湖岸则以粗粒沉积和岸坡起伏不平为特征,沉积物特征、沿岸输沙、平衡剖面及动力地貌均反映了泉州砂质海岸的侵蚀状况.在全球海平面上升的大背景下,除特大自然灾害影响,泉州近海域的人为活动恶化了海岸侵蚀的程度,其中以海砂开采最为严重.     

长江口横沙北侧岸坡冲刷特征与趋势分析

根据2018年多波束测深系统、双频ADCP获得的横沙岛北侧岸坡水下地形与水动力实测数据,并结合历史地形资料分析该区域冲刷特征与发展趋势。结果表明:横沙北侧岸坡存在近岸冲刷坑,最大冲深约7 m;2002—2018年期间,冲刷坑附近河床经历冲-淤-冲的演变模式,整体呈冲刷状态;2007年后冲刷坑开始形成,并向下游延伸。这主要是因为青草沙水库工程的建设导致北港上段束窄,下段主流南移贴岸,使得近岸河床冲刷加剧。另外,横沙东滩促淤圈围工程抑制了北港与北槽间的水量交换,横沙岛近岸水域水动力进一步增强,也是岸坡冲刷的原因之一。分析表明大潮期间水流处于次饱和状态,岸坡表层泥沙起动流速略小于落急时刻水流流速,横沙北侧岸坡的冲刷可能会继续发展。     

横向荷载作用下桩侧极限土抗力的上、下限分析

比较和分析了几种典型的P-Y曲线后发现,桩侧土体在横向荷载达到或接近极限土抗力后会发生塑性流动或软化。因此,极限土抗力的合理取值将影响桩侧土体的稳定性分析。将横向荷载下桩土相互作用的三维解问题简化为二维解处理,并运用土体塑性极限分析理论,采用摩尔-库仑屈服准则和相关联的流动法则,构造机动许可的应变率场和静力许可的应力场,推导出横向荷载作用下适用于粘性土的桩侧极限土抗力的上、下限解。利用南海某平台场址的工程地质钻探资料,计算了横向荷载作用下桩侧极限土抗力的真正极限荷载(Pu),并与由典型的P-Y曲线计算的Pu值作了比较。计算结果表明:在不排水抗剪强度较大的土层,由极限分析上、下限解计算的Pu值与由Reese硬粘土P-Y曲线、Matlock软粘土P-Y曲线和Sullivan统一法P-Y曲线计算的Pu值相差较大;在不排水抗剪强度较小土层,由极限分析的上、下限解计算的Pu值和由其它几种典型的P-Y曲线计算的Pu值吻合较好。极限分析上、下限解受深度影响,深度对桩侧极限土抗力的影响是随其增加而逐渐增大的。验证结果表明,计算的极限土抗力上、下限解的合理性较好,这对高层建筑、核电站、近海采油平台、海岸码头等建筑工程的桩基础设计具有重要的工程意义。     

莱州湾东岸三山岛段砂质海岸沉积物运移动力机制

通过对三山岛岸段冬夏重复的地形测量和表层沉积物的粒度分析,研究了其地貌特征与地形变化规律、沉积物类型、粒度特征、运移趋势,并探讨了沉积物运移的动力机制。结果表明:该岸段可根据1985黄海高程-1.2m(低潮水位)和-6.5m(闭合深度)平面划分为海滩、水下岸坡和浅海陆架三个地貌单元,各地貌单元表层沉积物分布规律与地形变化特征区别显著。其中水下岸坡和浅海陆架地貌单元主要受潮流作用,海滩地貌单元主要受波浪作用。在西向落潮流和西南向潮余流的作用下,水下岸坡地貌单元发育一个中等规模潮流通道-沙脊沉积系统。表层沉积物以向西运移的趋势为主,少数滞留于西部潮流沙脊处,与地形"东侵西淤"的变化规律相符,这些西向运移的沉积物最终离开研究区,补给莱州浅滩。     

黄骅港地区潮滩过程与港口选址

对黄骅地区潮滩过程的基本特征进行了讨论,结果表明,该区潮滩发育主要受黄河泥沙的控制,黄河从本区或其附近入海期间是潮滩迅速淤涨期,当黄河远离本区时,潮滩便开始退缩进入调整期。目前本区潮滩过程的主要物质是潮滩本身的沉积物。漳卫新河的来沙是本区的主要物源。本潮滩的潮下带宽达9km以上,破波带外界在约4．0m水深处,港址选在泥沙活跃的破波带内是值得商榷的。建议港口建设应尽量避开破波带．     

Lateral Bearing Capacity of Multi-Bucket Foundation in Soft Ground

The bucket foundation is a new type of foundation for offshore application to intermediate-depth waters. It has advantages over conventional ones. However, there is no consensus in the analysis and design of this type of foundation. In this paper, the lateral bearing capacity and the failure mechanism of multi-bucket foundations are studied with different connection stiffness and bucket spacing by use of a three-dimensional finite element method. Based on the numerical analysis results, a limit analysis method of plasticity for evaluating the lateral bearing capacity of large-spacing multi-bucket foundation with rigid connection in soft ground is proposed. This method provides a simple procedure that gives results comparable to those from the finite element analyses.

Limit analysis approach for accessing stability of three-dimensional (3-D) slopes reinforced with piles

The stabilization of slopes by placing piles is one of the most innovative and effective slope reinforcement techniques in the coastal engineering in recent years. Due to the simplicity and efficiency, limit analysis method is the most common approach for assessing the stability of slopes. However, the majority of existing limit analysis methods is limited to slope without the presence of piles. In this technical note, a novel upper-bound limit analysis method was proposed to access the stability of three-dimensional slopes reinforced with piles incorporating the admissible rotational failure mechanism where toe failure, face failure, and base failure were taken into account. The effects of key designing parameters, e.g., pile location, pile spacing, slope angle, slope width on the stability of earth slopes, and geometry of critical slip surface were presented and discussed. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach is more appropriate for assessing the stability of slopes reinforced with piles and can be also utilized in the design of piles stabilizing the unstable slopes.

Undrained Bearing Capacity of Suction Caissons for Offshore Wind Turbine Foundations by Numerical Limit Analysis

Determining the ultimate capacity of suction caissons in response to combined vertical, horizontal, and moment loading is essential for their design as foundations for offshore wind turbines. However, the method implemented for stability analysis is quite limited. Numerical limit analysis has an advantage over traditional limit equilibrium methods and nonlinear finite element methods in this case because upper and lower bounds can be achieved to ensure that the exact ultimate capacity of the caisson falls within the appropriate range. This article presents theories related to numerical limit analysis. Simulations are conducted for centrifuge model tests, the findings of which reveal the ability of numerical limit analysis to deal with the inclined pullout capacity of suction caissons. Finally, this article proposes an estimation of the ultimate capacity of a 3.5 MW offshore wind turbine foundation on normally consolidated clay based on the typical environmental parameters of Bothkennar, Scotland. Undrained failure envelopes and safety factors are obtained for suction caissons with different embedment ratios. Failure mechanisms, plastic zones, clay stress distributions, and the influence of the skin friction coefficients of caissons are discussed in detail.     

Rotation Center and Horizontal Bearing Capacity of the Bucket Foundation in Soft Ground

In the last 20 years, the bucket foundation has been developed as a new type of offshore platform structure. Because of its short period of application to engineering practices, the theoretical decision on the rotation center and horizontal bearing capacity of the bucket foundation has yet to be agreed. A limit analysis method is used to determine the updated rotation center position and horizontal bearing capacity to evaluate the failure mechanisms of the bucket foundations. The results are compared with numerical simulation and experiments, and also with other theoretical methods. The proposed method can satisfactorily consider the engineering conditions and the result is accurate in determining the rotation center and horizontal bearing capacity.     

Three-dimensional hydrodynamic model, study cases for quarter annular and idealized ship channel problems

An extended version of the three-dimensional hydrodynamic model, ADCIRC 3D-DSS, was utilized to simulate both horizontal and vertical flows in a (quarter) annular harbor (QATP and ATP) and rectangular basin with an idealized ship channel (RBSC). Comparison of horizontal and vertical solutions to the analytical solution and results of other researchers are in good agreement. The vertical velocity solution is highly sensitive to the horizontal velocity solutions. The presence of the sidewall boundary may also affect the vertical solutions. Around the sloping bank of RBSC channel with one-third gradient, the vertical velocity becomes important. The maximum vertical velocity approaches ±50% of the sediment fall velocity of fine sand.     

A composite numerical model for wave diffraction in a harbor with varying water depth

A composite numerical model is presented for computing the wave field in a harbor. The mild slope equation is discretized by a finite element method in the domain concerned. Out of the computational domain, the water depth is assumed to be constant. The boundary element method is applied to the outer boundary for dealing with the infinite boundary condition. Because the model satisfies strictly the infinite boundary condition, more accurate results can be obtained. The model is firstly applied to compute the wave diffraction in a narrow rectangular bay and the wave diffraction from a porous cylinder. The numerical results are compared with the analytical solution, experimental data and other numerical results. Good agreements are obtained. Then the model is applied to computing the wave diffraction in a square harbor with varying water depth. The effects of the water depth in the harbor and the incoming wave direction on the wave height distribution are discussed.
