多层加筋尾矿砂三轴压缩试验

分别对含筋层数为1、2、4层的尾矿中砂和细砂进行三轴压缩试验,给出了不同增强层数下尾细中砂的邓肯-张模型参数。2层以下加筋时,土工织物对尾矿砂的横向变形约束作用较小,尾中细砂均表现为剪切破坏特征;在2～4层增强时,尾中细砂均表现为拉应力破坏特征;拉破坏条件下和剪切滑移破坏条件下,均发现加筋后的尾矿,凝聚力随加筋层数非线性增大,而内摩擦角基本不变。定义了增强效果系数,层数与该系数呈非线性关系。轴向应变小于5%～8%时,尾矿砂处于弹性变形阶段;轴向应变大于8%时,出现弹塑性耦合变形。     

尾矿砂的堆存特征及其抗剪强度特性

以国内多座尾矿库的勘察试验资料为基础 ,从坝体尾矿砂堆存的物理特征出发 ,对尾矿砂沿尾矿库纵、横方向的颗粒变化规律 ,尾矿砂的粒径、含水量、孔隙比以及相对密度与尾矿砂的内摩擦角的关系进行探讨。结果表明 :孔隙比和相对密度对尾矿砂内摩擦角影响较大 ,且表现为线性相关 ;尾矿砂的内摩擦角和堆存深度的相关性不强 ;增大尾矿砂的相对密度或减小其孔隙比对提高坝体抗剪强度非常有利 ;在尾矿砂中铺设土工织物可显著地提高其粘聚力数值     

土工织物-砂土界面的叠环式剪切试验

针对土工合成材料界面特性试验易受试验装置影响的特点,采用大型叠环式剪切仪进行土工织物与砂土的界面剪切试验。对比砂土本身、土工织物与砂土的两种剪切试验结果发现,土工织物-砂土剪切引起的叠环位移较小;叠环的水平位移变化规律与土体的剪胀性具有密切联系,土工织物限制了下剪切盒内土颗粒的运动,对达到峰值强度时的土体剪胀也具有抑制作用。由试验结果可知,筋-土界面的剪切带远小于剪切的影响范围,土工织物在界面剪切中的作用不能仅通过剪切带反映,还应考虑土工织物的屏蔽作用和对于土体剪切带形成的影响。     

软土地基上土工织物加筋堤的离心模型试验研究

以黄骅港防波堤工程为依托,对有、无土工织物加筋垫层及不同织物加筋条件下堤坝和软土地基的变形与稳定进行了离心模型试验对比研究。得到了地基土体的竖向与水平位移分布规律以及孔隙水压力的消散特性。研究表明：土工织物加筋垫层的加筋机理源于其对土体的侧限效果,铺设土工织物后能有效地减小地基的沉降,并能够限制浅层土体的侧向变形;为使土工织物的加筋效果能够得以充分发挥,要求织物的强度及模量要与垫层的界面强度相匹配。     

单轴压缩条件下锚杆对含三维表面裂隙试样的锚固效应试验研究

在岩石相似材料试件中设置三维表面裂隙,制作不同锚固方式的试件,对其进行单轴压缩试验,研究锚杆对试件强度以及预置裂隙扩展模式的影响。试验结果表明,与无锚试件相比,4种加锚试件的抗压强度和压缩弹性模量均有不同程度的提高,而且锚杆对压缩弹性模量的增强效果比对抗压强度的增强效果更显著。4种加锚试件的残余强度大体相等,比无锚试件的残余强度提高了2.0～2.5倍。加锚试件的破坏过程大致分4个阶段:孔隙裂隙压密阶段、弹性变形至微弹性裂隙发展阶段、非稳定破坏阶段和破裂后阶段,试件表面宏观裂纹均出现在破裂后阶段。由于锚杆的加固止裂作用,预置裂隙的扩展模式发生变化,加锚试件内部出现了弧形破裂面和剪切薄弱面。试验中共出现3种裂纹:张拉裂纹、剪切裂纹和拉剪复合裂纹。     

袋装石土工袋剪切力学特性试验研究

袋装石土工袋堆叠过程中在土工袋接触面形成的咬合和嵌固作用,对土工袋剪切力学强度和破坏形式有较大的影响。通过一系列直剪试验研究了咬合和嵌固作用的影响,试验结果表明：袋装石土工袋层间咬合和嵌固作用能够增大土工袋抗剪强度;咬合作用随着土工袋上部竖向应力的增大有所减小,而嵌固作用则有所增大;袋装石土工袋在剪切过程中会产生两种破坏形式,分别为土工袋袋体自身变形和层间滑动破坏;土工袋组合体在受到水平剪切力时会发生整体变形,随后在组合体内部产生阶梯型滑动面,滑裂面的形状随着竖向荷载的增大而有所不同,相应的抗剪强度也会随着滑动面的改变而变化。     

土与土工织物接触面力学特性的试验研究

在大型土与结构接触面循环加载剪切仪上添加了拉拔试验模块,进行了大尺寸的粗粒土与土工布接触面的单调和往返剪切试验以及土工布拉拔试验。剪切试验结果表明,粗粒土与土工布接触面出现了一定程度的应变软化,相对法向位移的变化受法向应力影响很大,并表现出异向性。土工布拉拔试验结果表明,由于土与土工织物接触面的剪胀造成该类接触面的抗剪强度与法向应力不再是线性关系;将接触面剪切试验和拉拔试验方法结合起来是研究土与土工织物接触面力学特性较为全面和合理的手段。     

剪切速率和材料特性对筋-土界面抗剪强度的影响

土工合成材料与填料之间的界面强度参数是加筋-土工程设计的关键技术指标,筋-土界面的直剪试验和拉拔试验在界面剪切特性试验研究中应用最为广泛。利用土工格栅、土工织物与砂土的直剪试验和拉拔试验,研究了剪切速率和筋材性质对筋-土界面强度的影响。研究结果表明,当剪切速率不超过一定界限（如7.0 mm/min）时,其对直剪试验结果的影响可以忽略;筋-土界面强度受加筋材料及砂土特性的影响,双向聚丙烯土工格栅和土工织物与砂土之间的内摩擦角与纯砂接近,界面强度较高,而玻纤格栅因其延伸率低和网格尺寸较小,与砂土的界面强度比较低。

分形节理岩体强度与变形尺度效应的试验研究

根据强度与变形尺度效应的研究需要,试验研究了脆性岩石相似模拟材料的配比,提出了预置材料产生模拟节理的方法,解决了随机分布节理试件的制作问题。采用分形分布节理模拟材料试件,研究了脆性岩体轴向抗压强度与变形的尺度效应,获得的规律与实际岩体尺度效应规律一致,并发现岩体变形的尺度效应并非完全由节理闭合和剪切破坏引起,在节理剪切破坏之前,主要是由节理的剪切变形增大引起的。     

尾矿坝筑坝模袋力学性能试验研究

模袋法是解决上游法细粒尾矿堆坝难的一种新方法。为研究模袋法尾矿坝筑坝模袋的基本力学性能,采用与云南省某尾矿坝施工现场一样的土工布和尾砂,通过斜坡滑移、直剪、无侧限压缩试验,对固结不同时间的小尺寸尾矿坝筑坝模袋进行了摩擦和受压性能的试验研究。斜坡滑移试验表明,若含水率相对较低,则模袋间的摩擦系数较大;直剪试验测得固结8 d的模袋间内摩擦角约为28º,黏聚力约为40 kPa;在无侧限压缩条件下,固结1 d和3 d的模袋在受压过程中,其弹性模量都表现为“大-小-大”的变化形式。由于土工布和尾砂的共同作用,模袋的极限抗压强度远大于单纯尾砂堆积体的极限抗压强度。当压应力达到模袋所能承受的极限荷载时,通常会在模袋底部靠近模袋边缘处发生土工布的撕裂破坏,采用主动土压力理论分析了发生破坏的原因。本试验研究可以为模袋法尾矿坝的实践提供理论指导。     

筋土界面特性宏细观分析试验仪器研制与应用

为了更全面地分析筋土界面相互作用特性,改制了一台可视加筋土界面特性宏细观分析的试验仪器,可开展不同土工合成材料与填料的直剪和拉拔试验;该仪器改进了试验箱的尺寸,可方便两种试验的对比分析,增加了图像摄录系统,可进行试验过程的细观分析。使用新研制仪器分别进行了土工合成材料（土工格栅和土工布）加筋尾矿砂的直剪和拉拔试验,试验结果表明:两种试验条件下,土工格栅与尾矿的界面参数（似黏聚力和似摩擦角）及似摩擦系数均比土工布与尾矿的界面参数和似摩擦系数大;直剪试验下筋材网孔的有无对筋-尾矿界面参数均有较大影响,拉拔试验下筋材网孔有无对筋-尾矿界面参数似黏聚力的影响较为显著,对似摩擦角的影响较小。随着宏观变量法向应力的增加,细观参数孔隙率减小,平均接触数增加,反映在宏观上的现象就是填料颗粒被压密,筋材需要克服的阻力增大。该试验仪器能够较好地分析筋土界面宏细观特性,获得关键技术指标以用于加筋结构的设计。      

巫山加筋土的三轴试验研究

用常规三轴仪，研究了巫山县集仙中路1号加筋土挡墙加筋填土在不固结、不排水条件下的变形破坏机理和抗剪强度性质。试验结果表明，该加筋填土的抗剪强度性质虽较不加筋土有一定提高，但由于筋带表面网格细微，与土体之间的咬合摩擦力较弱，易在筋带与土体之间产生人为的滑动面，从而造成加筋土抵抗小，变形的能力减低；同时试验还表明，加筋层数和围压也是决定加筋土性质的重要因素。     

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.     

Laboratory Investigation of the Influence of Geotextile on the Stress–Strain and Volumetric Change Behavior of Sand

This paper presents the results of triaxial tests conducted for the investigation of the influence of geotextile on both the stress–strain and volumetric change behavior of reinforced sands. Tests were carried out on loose sand. The experimental program includes drained compression tests on samples reinforced with different values of both geotextile layers (1 ≤ Ng ≤ 3) and confining pressure (\(\upsigma_{\text{c}}^{\prime }\)) varying from 50 to 200 kPa. Tests show that the contribution of geotextile is negligible until an axial strain threshold that range between 2.5% for a confining pressure of 50 kPa to lower than 1% for 100 and 200 kPa confining pressure. At higher values of ε_a, geotextile induces a quasi-linear increase in the stress deviator (q) and volume contraction in the reinforced sand. Tests show a negligible influence of the number of geotextile layers (Ng) on the contribution of geotextile to both stress–strain and volumetric change, when normalized with Ng. Tests also show that the contribution of geotextile to the stress–strain mobilization augments with the increase in the confining pressure, while its contribution to the volume contraction decreases with the increase in the confining pressure. The reinforced soil becomes contracting in the case of 2 and 3 geotextile layers.     

Behaviour of Cellular Reinforced Sand Under Triaxial Loading Conditions

Cellular reinforcement is a three dimensional reinforcement used for reinforced soil structures. Behaviour of such reinforcement is important for its use in actual practice. Present paper focuses on the behavior of cellular reinforcement in sand under the triaxial loading conditions. Series of triaxial tests are performed on unreinforced and reinforced sand with single layer as well as double layers of cellular reinforcements with 75 mm sample diameter. Six different reinforcement heights of cellular reinforcements (varying from 3 to 50 mm) are used along with one sheet reinforcement of thickness 1 mm. From the experimental failure patterns of the triaxial samples, multiple zones of failure are observed as an effect of cellular reinforcement. Deviator stress–strain curves are studied for single and double layers of cellular reinforcement under three different confining pressures. Peak deviator stress is found increasing with increasing height of cellular reinforcement, which shows the confining effect of cellular reinforcement. Shear strength parameters are evaluated and are found increasing with increase in height of cellular reinforcement, also cellular reinforcement with heights 10 mm and more have showed increased shear strength parameters, as compared to 1 mm thick sheet reinforcement. This assures better behavior performance of cellular reinforcement over the planar one. Failure patterns are also visualized by finite element analysis and found in accord with experimental observations Horizontal displacement for reinforced samples visualized multi-zoned failure pattern. Finite element results for deviator stress–strain relationship are found in reasonably good accord with experimental results.     

聚丙烯纤维加筋灰土的三轴强度特性

加筋技术作为20世纪一项重大发明,广泛运用于挡土墙、堤坝、桥台、护坡等工程中。加筋技术的快速发展推动了加筋材料的快速演变,催生了土工织物、土工格栅、土工格室等一大批土工合成材料,但加筋材料有一弱点：即筋材与填料间容易出现潜在破坏面。过去填料使用的是黏土、砂土,其强度都比较稳定,时间对其强度的影响极小。对于灰土这一类材料,其强度受时间影响较大,是否适于作为加筋土填料需进行研究。选取聚丙烯纤维作为加筋材料,研究了聚丙烯纤维加筋灰土的强度与变形特性。试验中,将3种不同百分比（0.05%,0.15%和0.25%）的聚丙烯纤维分别掺入到灰土比为1：9,2：8,3：7的灰土试样中,配制试样。通过三轴试验研究了不同纤维加筋率、不同灰土比、不同龄期及不同围压对加筋灰土的影响。试验结果表明：与普通的灰土相比,聚丙烯纤维加筋灰土其峰值偏应力和抗剪强度均有不同幅度提高     

Shear Strength Response of a Geotextile-Reinforced Chlef Sand: A Laboratory Study

During the last earthquake that occurred in Chlef (El Asnam 1980, Algeria), a significant decrease in the shear strength has caused major damages to several civil and hydraulic structures (earth dams, embankments, bridges, slopes and buildings), especially for the saturated sandy soil of the areas near Chlef valley. This paper presents a laboratory study of drained compression triaxial tests conducted on sandy soil reinforced with horizontal layers of geotextile, in order to study the influence of geotextile layer characteristics both on shear stress–strain and on volumetric change–strain. Tests were carried out on medium and dense sand. The experimental programme includes some drained compression tests performed on reinforced sand samples, for different values of the geotextile layers number (N _g), of confining pressure (\( \sigma_{\text{c}}^{\prime } \)) and relative density (D _r). The test results have shown that the contribution of the geotextile at low values of the axial strain (ε ₁) is negligible, for higher values of (ε ₁); geotextile induces a quasi-linear increase in the deviator stress (q) and leads to an increase in the volume contractiveness within the reinforced samples. A negligible influence of geotextile layers number (N _g) on the stress–strain behaviour and the volumetric change has been shown, when normalized with N _g. The results indicate that the contribution of geotextile to the stress–strain mobilization increases with increasing confining pressure, while its contribution to the volume contraction decreases with the increase in the confining pressure.     

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.     

麦秸秆加筋石灰固化盐渍土的破坏形态分析

土的破坏形态是其受力大小与状态的综合反映,也是其内部结构变化的宏观体现。对比分析了不同养护时间、布筋方式和围压下的盐渍土、麦秸秆加筋盐渍土、石灰固化土、麦秸秆加筋石灰固化土试样的三轴剪切破坏形态。结果显示:①盐渍土和麦秸秆加筋盐渍土均呈塑性破坏。其中,盐渍土呈典型的"鼓胀"破坏;受到加筋的约束,加筋土的横向变形小于盐渍土的。②养护前期,石灰同化土和麦秸秆加筋石灰固化土均呈塑性破坏;养护后期,均呈脆性破坏。麦秸秆加筋石灰同化土的破裂面较石灰固化土的不规则,没有类似石灰同化土的对称性破裂块。③低围压下,加筋土的约束力主要来自筋土间的摩阻力,土的破裂纹形态较高围压下的复杂。高围压下,约束力来自筋土摩阻力和围压的共同作用。④麦秸秆的加筋作用可有效地约束和阻止裂纹的发生和扩展。分区布筋时,土样的破坏主要发生于未加筋部位。麦秸秆和石灰共同加筋固化能有效地提高土的抗变形能力,是改善滨海盐渍土的一种可行的处理方法。
