利用单剪SHANSEP试验方法测定了南海某石油平台场址两种粘性土层的不排水剪切强度。通过对比单剪SHANSEP试验结果、原位静力触探(CPT)试验结果和三轴不固结不排水(UU)试验结果,表明通过单剪SHANSEP试验确定的粘土不排水强度与现场CPT解释结果更趋于一致,同时也表明了SHANSEP方法适合于中国南海粘性土强度的评价。因此利用单剪SHANSEP试验能够克服土样扰动对粘土强度的影响,更加客观评价粘性土的强度,为工程设计提供可靠的数据。     

长江口门附近海域潮周期内悬沙质量浓度变化及其动力机制探讨

为了探讨潮周期内悬沙质量浓度变化的动力机制,于2010-04和2011-01(正常风况条件下)在长江口门附近海域3个测点(水深8~20m)进行了全潮(1次/h)动力泥沙观测,计算了流剪切应力(τc)、浪剪切应力(τw)、流-浪联合剪切应力(τcw)、底床沉积物临界侵蚀应力(τcr),并进行了悬沙质量浓度变化和动力因子变化的关联分析。结果表明:τc与τcw之比值大于0.81,说明在非风暴天气条件下研究区的水动力以流为主;τc在潮周期内存在1~2个数量级的波动,说明研究区的水流动力主要受到潮流控制;τcw既有大于τcr的时间段(约60%),也有小于τcr的时间段(40%),说明研究区底床和水体之间存在频繁的泥沙交换过程;τcw与悬沙质量浓度之间的统计相关性不显著,说明基于每小时观测的悬沙质量浓度变化主要反映平流作用而不是受局地动力条件变化引起的沉降-再悬浮过程的影响。     

海底管道冲刷势流模型的改进

对LiCheng的势流模型在数值方法、床面平衡条件及冲刷床面调整技术做出了3方面的改进。采用边界元法代替差分法求解Laplace方程,前者可以准确地拟合地形与管道边界,因而可以准确反映固壁边界对流态的影响,此外,还具有数据准备简单,降低计算维数,计算速度快等优点。LiCheng模型以床面水流切应力等于泥沙起动切应力,τ_b=τ_c,作为床面平衡条件,这只适用于清水冲刷。以沿程输沙相同作为平衡剖面条件,理论上,将模型推广到了动床冲刷。此外,为了提高模型的收敛性,提出了最速下降法与牛顿迭代法相结合的床面调整技术。采用实验资料对模型进行了检验,计算的冲刷深度与实验结果符合良好。

Penetration Depth of Torpedo Anchor in Two-Layered Cohesive Soil Bed by Free Fall

The penetration depth of torpedo anchor in two-layered soil bed was experimentally investigated. A total of 177 experimental data were obtained in laboratory by varying the undrained shear strength of the two-layered soil and the thickness of the top soil layer. The geometric parameters of the anchor and the soil properties (the liquid limit, plastic limit, specific gravity, undrained shear strength, density, and water content) were measured. Based on the energy analysis and present test data, an empirical formula to predict the penetration depth of torpedo anchor in two-layered soil bed was proposed. The proposed formula was extensively validated by laboratory and field data of previous researchers. The results were in good agreement with those obtained for two-layered and single-layered soil bed. Finally, a sensitivity analysis on the parameters in the formula was performed.     

Shear strength of soil berm during lateral buckling of subsea pipelines

The soil resistance developed during temperature- and pressure-induced large lateral movements of shallowly embedded subsea flowlines is an important input parameter for the structural design process. A major source of uncertainty in calculation of the soil resistance is the undrained shear strength of the soil berm produced as the flowline moves across the seabed, which is affected by the level of remoulding. To investigate the effect of pipeline embedment and displacement amplitude on the shear strength of the berm, a set of centrifuge model tests was conducted on kaolin clay, involving laterally moving pipelines with constant embedments in the range 5%–35% of the pipe diameter. Back-analysis of the test results, using finite element limit analysis, showed that the shear strength of the soil berm is a function of pipe displacement amplitude, pipe embedment, and soil sensitivity. On the basis of these results, we propose that the overall berm undrained shear strength may be determined as a convolution of the shear strengths of its constituent soil elements. Finally, a formula is presented for calculating the shear strength of soil elements within the soil berm, and this is used to back-analyse the overall soil berm resistance from the model tests.     

Study on the shear property of nano-MgO-modified soil

To study the relationship between nano-MgO and soil shear property, the nano-MgO was evenly mixed in the soil to perform the triaxial consolidation draining shear test. Then the microscopic soil granules on the shear planes were observed through the scanning electron microscope. The soil water content was 10% and soil dry density was 1.5?g/cm³, different dosages of nano-MgO, i.e., 0, 2, 4, and 6% were put into the soil samples. The result of triaxial consolidation draining shear test showed that, under low confining pressure and more nano-MgO dosage, the stress–strain relationship of nano-MgO-modified soil turned from hardening to softening. The incorporation of nano-MgO can effectively improve the soil failure strength and cohesive force, and the increasing dosages of nano-MgO had a positive effect on soil shear strength and cohesive force, but little effect on internal friction angle. The analysis of scanning electron microscopy showed that the dosage of nano-MgO can reduce the void ratio of soil and reinforce the cementation between soil granules to change the shear property of soil.     

Mechanical Behavior of Light-Weight Soil Under Consolidated Drained Shear Condition

To reveal the influence of material composition on mechanical properties of light-weight soil, stress-strain -volumetric strain characteristics and Poisson's ratio of mixed soil were researched by consolidated drained shear tests. The results show that light-weight soil is a kind of structural soil, so its mechanical properties are affected by mixed ratio and confining pressure, and mixed soil possesses structural yield stress. When confining pressure is less than the structural yield stress, strain softening occurs; when confining pressure is more than the structural yield stress, strain hardening is observed. There are two kinds of volume change behavior: shear contraction and shear dilatancy. Shear dilatancy usually leads to strain softening, but there isn't an assured causal relationship between them. Poisson's ratio of mixed soil is a variational state parameter with the change of stress state, it decreases with increased confining pressure, and it increases with increased stress level. When axial strain is near 5%, Poisson’ ratio is gradually close to a steady value. The main range of Poisson's ratio is 0.25～0.50 when confining pressure changes from 50 to 300 kPa. When unconfined compressive strength of mixed soil is less than 328 kPa, its stress-strain-volumetric strain characteristics can be predicted very well by Duncan-Chang model (E-B model). However, when the range of unconfined compressive strength is [328 kPa, 566 kPa], the model can't predict stress-strain characteristics accurately when confining pressure is under 200 kPa, and it also can't predict the strong shear dilatancy phenomenon of mixed soil under low confining pressure.     

The prediction of traveling jet trenching in stiff clay based on the erosion failure mechanism

The performance of traveling jet trenching in stiff clay was tested. All the key parameters varied in the experiment, including the jet velocity, the shear strength of clay, the diameter of the nozzle, and the translational velocity of the nozzle. The jet–soil interface was found to be an arc. An equation was given to describe the interface. On the basis of the erosion failure mechanism, a new method is presented for predicting jet trenching depth. We first calculated the trajectory of the jet–soil interface and then predicted the distribution of the boundary layer shear stress along the jet–soil interface. The point where the wall shear stress was equal to the critical shear strength of clay was the ultimate trenching depth. The predictive results were found to fit the experimental results well.     

Mineralogy and Geotechnical Properties of Ultrasoft Soil from a Nearshore Mine Tailings Sedimentation Pond

An engineering geological study was undertaken to determine the engineering properties, and mineralogy of ultrasoft soils (USS) obtained from a nearshore mine tailings sedimentation pond. The USS is a high plasticity clay of high water content and low shear strength. Marine bathymetric and seismic reflection surveys were undertaken in the sedimentation pond located in the foreshore of the Eastern part of the Republic of Singapore. Specimens collected from the bore holes were tested to determine the engineering and mineralogy properties of the USS. Field vane shear tests were undertaken just adjacent to the sampling bore holes to determine the shear strength properties of the USS. The mineralogical properties of the USS were determined using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope techniques. The USS is under consolidated soil where higher density and lower water content were found at deeper depth. The USS had three different compression indices under three log cycles of effective stress between 1–10, 10–100, and 100–1,000 kPa. This is the main characteristic of USS, which diverts from reconstituted soil. The outcome of this research is fundamental for understanding the compression behavior and subsequently the development of a constitutive model for USS, typical found in sedimentary pond.
