利用室内水槽模拟黄河三角洲快速沉积环境,并进行了黄河水下三角洲快速沉积粉土层中单桩水平承载特性模型试验,获得桩身弯矩、位移,以此得到适用于快速沉积粉土层中的桩基p y曲线,与API规范的p-y曲线相比,发现浅层土极限土抗力要大于黏土与砂土,而深层土极限土抗力则介于两者之间。并进行多组试验,讨论了桩的不同埋置方式对p-y曲线的影响,发现贯入桩p-y曲线与预埋桩p-y曲线相比具有较小的初始刚度,以及较大的极限土抗力;同时,相较于预埋桩,贯入桩对浅层土极限土抗力的影响更为显著。     

黏土中海上风电水平受荷大直径单桩设计方法的思考

文章回顾了目前风电大直径单桩基础水平受荷静力响应分析的p-y 曲线规范方法,结合现有成果探讨了该方法会高估桩侧初始刚度并低估极限承载力的原因。为解决其不足,文章介绍了一种基于土体应力应变关系的p-y 曲线方法,它不但能较为正确地反映桩侧刚度,还能跟踪桩周土体的平均塑性应变的累积。在此基础上探讨了桩基在循环疲劳状态下的规范方法,由于其无法精确反映循环次数和幅值对于桩侧刚度弱化的影响,因此,进一步介绍了基于静力p-y 骨干曲线的滞回曲线构造方法,最后,基于上述分析方法,提出了一些大直径单桩优化设计的建议。     

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。     

水平荷载作用下砂土中非柔性桩的p-y曲线修正

中国近海风机大多采用长径比10～20范围内的非柔性桩基础,而现有规范方法主要针对长径比大于20的柔性桩,对我国风机基础的适用性一直存在争议。本文利用有限元法研究砂土中非柔性桩的水平受荷响应,主要关注容许范围内的桩基倾斜,因此采用硬化土小应变本构模型描述砂土的应力应变关系。建立钢管桩-土三维有限元模型进行变参数分析,探究土体相对密实度、桩基直径对初始地基反力模量的影响;讨论了正切双曲线函数和双曲线函数描述土体弹簧刚度(即p-y曲线)的合理性;最终提出了适用于砂土中非柔性桩的修正p-y曲线表达式,并通过与三种不同砂土相对密实度与桩基组合工况下的有限元结果对比,验证了修正p-y公式的合理性。结果表明：土体相对密实度、桩基直径与初始地基反力模量均呈正相关;双曲线函数更适合描述非柔性桩的p-y曲线;修正后的p-y公式提高了水平荷载作用下非柔性桩响应的预测精度。     

桩基尺寸对砂土中水平受荷桩-土作用力的影响

p-y 曲线法在水平受荷桩的设计中得到了广泛应用,然而近年来在海上风机超大直径单桩基础设计中受到了学术界和工程界的质疑,当前研究表明,桩基尺寸是产生这一问题的主要原因。本文通过三维数值仿真技术,研究了砂土地基中水平受荷桩-土作用特征的演变规律,探讨了当前超大直径单桩设计方法存在的主要问题及产生的原因。计算结果显示：超大直径单桩基础因其桩径大、长径比（入土长度与直径的比） 小的尺寸特征,在水平荷载作用下桩土作用具有明显的三维空间效应,即除受水平向土反力外,还受到桩端水平向的摩擦力、沿桩身不均匀摩阻力产生的抵抗力矩及桩底不均匀土反力提供的抵抗力矩;进一步研究表明,后三类抗力对桩基水平承载力的贡献占比与桩基尺寸有关,即桩基直径越大、长径比越小,这些抗力的贡献越大。因此,在水平受荷超大直径单桩承载特性计算与分析的过程中,除当前水平向p-y 弹簧提供的抗力外,还应考虑桩底的水平剪力、桩身摩擦力和桩底反力不平衡产生的抵抗力矩。     

基于现场试桩的海上大直径桩侧摩阻力研究

海上风机基础长期受到巨大的水平荷载和倾覆力矩,设计的基础结构需要具有足够的刚度和抗压强度来抵抗风、波浪、海流等环境荷载。依托某海上风电场试桩工程,通过现场基桩轴向抗压静载试验,分析土层的荷载位移曲线,并根据位移突变段确定基桩的极限荷载。借助拟合法和API规范法,分别得到τ-s曲线,从而计算出基桩的极限侧摩阻力以及初始刚度。分析对比可以看出软黏土土层和砂土土层在不同深度通过拟合法和API规范法计算得到的结果不同,二者有不同的适用范围。因此需要进一步研究桩基侧摩阻力的各种确定方法,才能最大限度地开发利用桩基的承载能力。     

江苏海岸辐射沙洲地层中大直径钢管桩基础承载性能试验研究

江苏海岸辐射沙洲是江苏重要的海上风电规划区域,该海域的地层资料和试桩资料极为缺乏。通过钢管桩的现场静荷载试验,对江苏海岸辐射沙洲地层中大直径钢管桩基础承载性能进行研究,以揭示各地层的主要承载性能参数。试桩结果表明,江苏海岸辐射沙洲地层中钢管桩实际的轴向极限承载力明显小于高应变动测结果,只有高应变动测结果的79.09%。总侧摩擦阻力占总承载力的95.61%,而桩端阻力只占总承载力的4.39%。桩内土对管壁的侧摩阻力作用很小,主要是桩外土对管壁的侧摩阻力在发挥作用。辐射沙洲地层中粉土夹粉质黏土的承载性能一般,不适应作为钢管桩的持力层。轴向抗压静载试验得到的极限侧摩阻力高于静力触探的测试结果和API法的计算值。浅部砂层实际的极限水平土体抗力高于API法计算值,在水平荷载作用下上部砂层的p-y曲线具有明显软化效应,土体的软化效应在设计时需进行考虑。     

循环荷载下饱和粉土地基单桩水平承载特性试验研究

在饱和粉土地基中进行了单桩水平静力和循环加载室内模型试验,实测得到静载和循环荷载下桩身弯矩与深度的关系、桩身最大弯矩与循环次数之间的关系等,推导出静载和循环荷载下粉土的p-y曲线,并结合API规范给出了针对粉土地基的相关参数。单桩循环加载试验结果表明,在一定深度内随着循环次数增大,粉土极限抗力显著减小,文中给出了不同循环次数和深度下粉土地基极限抗力的折减系数建议值。     

海上风电大直径加翼桩水平承载性能研究

为改善海上风电大直径钢管桩的水平承载性能,基于ABAQUS有限元软件对单桩改进形式的加翼桩结构进行了系统研究,计算分析了软黏土地基中加翼桩在水平荷载作用下桩身弯矩、应力、位移、桩身泥面处倾斜率和极限承载力,研究了加翼桩面积、形状、埋深和刚度等翼板参数对加翼桩水平承载性能的影响规律,根据加翼桩的桩-土作用机理,参考现行规范模式提出适用于软黏土地基大直径钢管桩的P-Y曲线。研究结果表明,加翼桩通过在泥面处设置翼板可降低桩基泥面处倾斜率50%、提高桩基极限承载力60%以上,加翼桩水平承载性能明显优于单桩。     

桩-筒组合基础在单层黏土中水平承载性能分析

桩-筒组合基础是将单桩基础与筒型基础组合的一种新型海上风电基础形式,其受力模式不同于传统桩基基础,优点是可通过合理减小桩长、桩壁厚等途径提高承载性能。基于极限地基反力法,提出单层黏土中桩-筒组合基础受力模式及水平承载力的计算方法。利用力加载和位移加载两种控制方法进行数值分析,研究水平承载性能的影响因素。结果表明,在一定范围内,桩-筒组合基础水平承载性能随桩入土深度、桩壁厚、筒外径的增大而提高。基于实际工程,对等用钢量的单桩基础与组合基础进行比较计算,结果表明,桩-筒组合基础可有效降低基础倾斜度和位移,提高承载性能。     

Assessing the Validity of Seismo-Acoustic Predictor Equations for Obtaining Seabed and Sub-Surface Sediment Physical Properties

The interdependence between the seismo-acoustic properties of a marine sediment and its geotechnical/physical parameters has been known for many years, and it has been postulated that this should allow the extraction of geotechnical information from seismic data. Though in the literature many correlations have been published for the surficial layer, there is a lack of information for greater sediment depths. In this article, a desktop study on a synthetic seafloor model illustrates how the application of published near-surface prediction equations to subsurface sediments (up to several tens of meters burial depth) can lead to spurious predictions. To test this further, acoustic and geotechnical properties were measured on a number of sediment core samples, some of which were subjected to loading in acoustically-equipped consolidation cells (oedometers) to simulate greater burial depth conditions. For low effective pressures (representing small burial depths extending to around 10 meters subsurface), the general applicability of established relationships was confirmed: the prediction of porosity, bulk density, and mean grain size from acoustic velocity and impedance appears generally possible for the investigated sedimentary environments. As effective pressure increases through, the observed relationships deviate more and more from the established ones for the near-surface area. For the samples tested in this study, in some instances increasing pressure even resulted in decreasing velocities. There are several possible explanations for this abnormal behavior, including the presence of gas, overconsolidation, or bimodal grain size distribution. The results indicate that an appropriate depth correction must be introduced into the published prediction equations in order to obtain reliable estimates of physical sediment properties for greater subsurface depths.     

A Review of Some Environmental Issues Affecting Marine Mining

This article reviews information recently available from existing marine and coastal mining for responses to environmental issues affecting marine mining at different depths. It is particularly but not exclusively concerned with those issues affecting seabed biodiversity impact and recovery. Much information has been gathered in the past 10 years from shallow mining operations for construction aggregate, diamonds, and gold, from coastal mines discharging tailings to shallow and deep water, and from experimental deep mining tests. The responses to issues identified are summarized in a series of eight tables intended to facilitate site-specific consideration. Since impacts can spread widely in the surface mixing layer SML, and can affect the biologically productive euphotic zone, the main issues considered arise from the depth of mining relative to the SML of the sea. Where mining is below the SML, the issue is whether it is environmentally better to bring the extraction products to the surface vessel for processing (and waste discharge), or to process the extraction products as much as possible on the seabed. Responses to the issues need to be sitespecific, and dependent on adequate preoperational environmental impact and recovery prediction. For deep tailings disposal from a surface vessel, there are four important environmental unknowns: (1) the possible growth of "marine snow" (bacterial flocs) utilizing the enormous quantities of fine tailings particles (hundreds or thousands of metric tons per day) as nuclei for growth, (2) the possibility that local keystone plankton and nekton species may migrate diurnally down to and beyond the depth of deep discharge and hence be subjected to tailings impact at depth, (3) the burrow-up capability of deep benthos and their ability to survive high rates of tailings deposition, and (4) the pattern and rate of dispersion of a tailings density current through the deep water column from discharge point to seabed. Actions to obtain relevant information in general and site-specifically are suggested.     

Increased Particle Fluxes at the INDEX Site Attributable to Simulated Benthic Disturbance

Particle fluxes were measured 7 m above the sea bottom during the predisturbance, disturbance, and postdisturbance periods by using time series sediment traps attached to seven deep-sea moorings deployed in the INDEX experiment site in the Central Indian Basin. The predisturbance particle fluxes varied between 22.3 to 55.1 mg m -2 day -1 . Increased and variable particle fluxes were recorded by the sediment traps during the disturbance period. The increase observed was 0.5 to 4 times more than the background predisturbance fluxes. The increases in particle fluxes (~4 times) recorded by the sediment trap located in the southwestern direction (DMS-1) were the greatest, which could be the result of preferential movement of resuspended particles generated during the deep-sea benthic disturbance along the general current direction prevailing in this area during the experimental period. Also, the traps located closer to the disturbance area recorded greater fluxes than did the traps far away, across the Deep Sea Sediment Resuspension System path. This variability in recorded particle fluxes by the traps around the disturbance area clearly indicates that physical characteristics such as grain size and density of the resuspended particles produced during the disturbance had an important effect on particle movement. The postdisturbance measurements during ~5 days showed a reduction in particle fluxes of ~50%, indicating rapid particle settlement.     

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中桩周土强度弱化研究

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中,桩周土体受到强烈扰动而发生强度弱化,掌握桩周土体强度弱化规律对于准确预测打桩过程、保证工程安全具有重要意义。为研究土体强度弱化规律,开展了环剪试验模拟打桩对桩周土体的扰动,测试土体强度随剪切速率的变化规律,建立了描述土体强度弱化规律的拟合公式,引入到打桩分析软件中。研究结果表明：土体的强度折减程度不仅与土体本身的性质有关还受到土体的埋深和剪切速率的影响,埋深越深土体强度折减程度越低,剪切速率越高土体强度折减越高,在打桩分析中可采用这里推荐的线性折减方法来模拟不同深度处土体强度的折减规律。     

Determination of In Situ Sediment Shear Strength from Advanced Piston Corer Pullout Forces

The advanced piston corer (APC) has been used by the Ocean Drilling Program since 1985 for recovering soft sediments from the ocean floor. The pullout force measured on extracting the core barrel from the sediment is shown to correlate with the average shear strength of the sediment core measured in the ship's laboratory. A simple rule of thumb is derived relating the shear strength of the sediment to the pullout force. Multiple APC holes at individual sites allow the consistency of the pullout measurements to be assessed. The effects of different operational procedures during APC coring are also explored. Although generally applicable, the correlation between pullout force and laboratory measurements of shear strength breaks down for some APC holes, possibly because of the disturbance of some sediment types during the APC coring process. A better understanding of the physical process of APC coring, and its effect on the properties of the sediment both inside and immediately outside the core barrel, would indicate what confidence can be put on the measurement of pullout force as a way of evaluating the in situ shear strength of deep sea sediments.     

Interannual Sea Level Variations and Annual Tides in the Northwestern Pacific

Specific properties of the interannual sea level variations and annual tides in the Northwestern Pacific were studied. Several tide stations were monitored. The monthly mean sea level for the year of 1995 was analyzed at each tide station. A seismic event in 1995, some tectonic activity around the subject area, and the Kuroshio (the oceanic western boundary current) may possibly contaminate results which would have occurred from the astronomical annual tide alone.     

Flow Cytometric Analysis of Coastal Lagoon Bacterioplankton and Picophytoplankton: Fixation and Storage Effects

The effect of different fixation and storage protocols on the flow cytometric (FCM) simultaneous analysis of bacterioplankton and phytoplankton in coastal seawater samples (Mediterranean coastal lagoons) was investigated. FCM measurements (cell number, fluorescence and scatter characteristics) were obtained through DAPI staining. Three fixatives [glutaraldehyde (GA), formaldehyde (FA) and paraformaldehyde (PFA)] and two storage (3 months duration) methods (5 °C and −196 °C) were tested. Two dominant populations were detected in studied samples: bacteria and eukaryotic picophytoplankton. Adding fixatives (2% final concentration) appears necessary to obtain FCM exhaustive counts of all the bacteria and phytoplanktonic cells. This was related to the permeation effect of fixatives which allowed a better DAPI staining of the cells. Maximum fluorescence, i.e. optimal staining of the cells was obtained with FA or PFA, and significant lower fluorescences with GA. Fixed samples stored at 5 °C induced rapid cell loss. Only storage in liquid nitrogen of samples fixed with FA or PFA, allows mid-term (≥4 months) preservation of bacteria or picophytoplankton cell numbers, and limited evolution of DAPI-induced fluorescence and scatter characteristics.
