基于DIC技术的砂土中圆形锚板上拔土体变形特性试验研究

针对福建标准砂,采用非接触式数字图像相关技术(digital image correlation, DIC),通过一系列室内模型试验研究了圆形锚板上拔时锚周土体的变形特性,重点分析了盘径、埋深比和砂土相对密实度的影响。试验结果表明,随着盘径的增加,同一埋深比条件下,上拔力峰值和出现上拔力峰值时的位移水平均明显增大,而上拔承载力系数N_γ则随着盘径的增加而减小,但盘径变化不影响上拔时锚周土体位移影响区的形状,且以上规律不受砂土相对密实度变化的影响。对于密砂,锚周土体位移影响区形状随着埋深比的增加由倒梯形向U字形发展,土体剪切破坏面为沿锚板边缘向外侧斜上方演进的直线型破坏面,且与竖直方向的夹角约为1/4φ_p(φ_p为土的峰值摩擦角);随着锚板的上拔,锚板上方土体出现较为明显的体积膨胀。对于松砂,随着埋深比的增加,锚周土体位移影响区形状由延伸至土体表面的矩形向内置于土体的贝壳形发展;浅埋时,土体剪切破坏面沿锚板边缘垂直向土体表面开展;深埋时,土体剪切破坏面沿锚板边缘向内侧斜上方发展,与水平方向的夹角约为45°+1/2φ_p。无论何种埋深比,锚板正上方均观测到小范围的体积膨胀区,其上为体积收缩区,且随着埋深比的增加体积收缩量逐渐增加。

土工格栅加筋砂土中水平锚板抗拔特性试验研究

土工格栅加筋能够有效改善锚板的抗拔承载力,然而锚板在上拔过程中的破坏机制及其影响因素尚需进一步研究。针对砂土中水平锚板的抗拔特性,开展了多组锚板上拔试验,分析了砂土密实度、锚板埋深、土工格栅布设层数和位置等因素的影响,结合粒子图像测速（particle image velocimetry,简称PIV）技术探究了锚板周边土体的变形破坏机制。研究结果表明：单层接触式格栅加筋对锚板的抗拔承载力有明显的提升,且其对土体性能的改善优于非接触式格栅加筋情况,其原因与土工格栅变形量和上覆土体重力有关;当采用双层土工格栅加筋时,下层格栅可充分发挥限制土体侧向变形和均化应力分布的作用,上层格栅相对而言贡献不大;采用土工格栅加筋后,锚-土界面附近土体的变形模式发生了明显的变化,其破坏面相比未加筋前向内侧收敛,且剪应变分布更为均匀。     

锚板抗拉破坏机制试验研究

锚板上拔过程是一个复杂的锚土相互作用过程,锚板周围土体在上拔过程中的变形破坏机制对于锚板抗拔力的可靠预测具有重要意义。为了对锚板破坏机制进行量化分析,基于LabVIEW软件开发环境,开发了力、位移和图像同步采集系统,该系统由力传感器、位移传感器、相机和一台计算机组成,可对锚板上拔过程中的力、位移和图像进行自动同步采集,从而保证了力、位移和图像的一一对应关系。基于PIV（particle image velocimetry）无干扰测量技术对砂土中锚板在上拔过程中的图像进行了测量分析,得到了锚板周围土体的位移场、剪切应变场和体积应变场。变形场试验结果表明：锚板上拔过程中,锚板上部土体中间部分位移大、两边小,最终形成一个倒置的梯形;剪切应变场显示锚板上拔过程经历了局部剪切带形成,扩展并最终在锚板两侧形成一个倾斜向上并贯通到地面的对称剪切带,剪切过程中剪切带内伴随着剪涨。在峰后阶段,剪切带形状由峰值点内倾转为外倾,锚板两侧边缘处出现局部土体流动软化。该试验结果可为锚板上拔预测模型建立以及设计提供参考依据。

根据悬索桥隧道式锚碇系统预应力岩锚原位试验及模拟计算结果,分析了锚索的锚固长度、自由长度、锚固注浆压力以及锚注体与围岩界面结合程度对岩锚极限抗拔力的影响。比较了群锚与单锚作用下的岩锚本身及宿主介质的荷载、位移分布特征。群锚约束岩体向临空面变形,具有增韧止裂的根状效应,受埋深(自由长度)、间距、初始预应力、加载历史等影响。锚索的锚固长度控制着岩锚的极限承载力,而自由段长度控制着其在隧道式复合锚碇系统中参与荷载分担的贡献值和时机,自由段长度对有效传递和分散围岩应力有关键作用。指出群锚整体破坏形态存在传递多米诺效应。     

基于耦合欧拉-拉格朗日法的锚板在黏土中的极限承载力数值分析

当结构在土体中运动时,往往导致土体发生较大的变形,此类问题采用大变形数值分析方法更为恰当。耦合欧拉-拉格朗日（Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian, 简称CEL）法是大变形数值分析方法中的一种,在分析大变形问题时具有很强的适用性,但在国内尚未开展CEL法分析锚板承载力的研究。以方形锚板在均质土及线性土中的拔出试验为原型,基于CEL法建立数值模型,对锚板的极限承载力及破坏机制进行研究,并通过用户自定义子程序,实现了线性土的强度分布随锚板拔出而变化。计算结果表明,土体杨氏模量越大,锚板的极限承载力越大;随着位移增大,锚板的抗拔力先增大,后降低;当埋深小于临界埋深时,土体发生整体破坏;当埋深大于等于临界埋深时,土体发生局部破坏。数值计算反映的规律与试验结果基本吻合,体现了CEL法模拟锚板在海床中大位移响应的出色能力。     

非均质地基浅埋水平条形锚板承载力上限分析

考虑地基土体的非均质特性,采用非线性Mohr-Coulomb强度准则及其关联流动法则构造了浅埋水平条形锚板的曲线型破裂机制与机动许可速度场,根据极限分析上限定理推导了条形锚板抗拔承载力的表达式。利用变分极值原理求得了锚板抗拔承载力及其上方土体破裂面的上限解,分析了锚板埋深、土体非均质和非线性强度特性对锚板抗拔承载特性的影响,并将该上限解与已有计算方法进行了对比。结果表明:锚板埋深、土体非均质和非线性强度特性对其抗拔承载力与破裂面特征具有明显的影响。锚板埋深和土体非均质系数越大以及土体非线性强度系数越小,锚板抗拔承载力和土体破裂面深度、宽度均是越大。该上限解与极限平衡和极限分析有限元方法的计算结果基本一致,验证了所采用的曲线型破裂机制和地基非均质变化规律有效性,为条形锚板设计提供了一定的参考。     

锚板在正常固结黏土中的承载力

在岩土工程中,锚板通常被用来提供竖直或水平抗拔力,比如发射塔的基础、板桩墙结构和悬浮式海洋平台的基础。采用弹-塑性有限元方法对正常固结不排水黏土中的条形锚板进行数值分析,以图表形式给出了不同埋深率、不同上拔倾角、不同锚-土黏结形式下条形锚板的承载力系数和周围土体的流动机构,分析了土体自重对锚板承载力的影响,并给出了不同情况下锚板的极限承载力系数。采用基于重新划分网格并插值状态变量的大变形分析方法（RITSS）,分析了正常固结黏土中锚板在连续拔出过程中的承载力变化以及土重对锚-土分离模式的影响。     

软土中浅埋法向承力锚位移破坏标准模型试验

为确定浅埋软黏土中法向承力锚的位移破坏标准,利用实验室自行开发的电动伺服加载控制装置,对埋置在饱和软黏土中深度为3倍锚板宽度、系缆力角度为30°的法向承力锚模型进行了荷载和位移控制的静力加载试验。依据试验结果,以极限承载力与锚板宽度为参考,对锚板法向荷载与位移进行归一化处理,通过归一化曲线确定了法向承力锚的位移破坏标准,即破坏位移约为0.38倍锚板宽度。另外,依据锚板的尺寸、埋深及试验土体的强度条件,利用经验公式对锚的极限承载力进行了计算。结果表明,以该位移破坏标准确定的极限承载力与经验公式计算结果基本一致,两者相差均不超过10%,初步验证了该位移破坏标准的合理性。     

斜坡浅埋水平条形锚板抗拔承载力的极限分析

针对山区和丘陵等复杂地形下浅埋锚板抗拔承载力计算问题,基于极限分析上限定理、非线性Mohr-Coulomb强度准则及其关联流动法则,构造了斜坡浅埋水平条形锚板的曲线型破裂机制和机动许可速度场,采用变分极值原理获得了其上方土体破裂面方程和抗拔承载力的上限解,分析了斜坡倾角和锚板埋深对锚板抗拔承载力的影响。结果表明:随着斜坡倾角的增大,锚板抗拔承载力逐渐减小,此时其上方两侧土体破裂面不再对称且整体向下坡侧偏移;锚板抗拔承载力及其上方两侧土体破裂面宽度均随着埋深增大而增加;锚板埋深越小,斜坡倾角对其抗拔承载力的影响越大,应在计算中予以考虑,以更合理地反映斜坡浅埋水平条形锚板的抗拔承载特性。     

非完全粗糙平板锚旋转安装过程中的丢失埋深研究

吸力贯入平板锚被用于系泊深海浮式结构,实际应用中必须预估平板锚旋转安装过程中的丢失埋深。采用大变形有限元方法探索非完全粗糙平板锚在正常固结黏土中的旋转过程。大变形有限元法通过网格重剖避免平板锚大幅值平动和转动引起的土体单元扭曲。根据平板锚旋转到达的埋深,实时更新“锚-土”界面上的摩擦剪切强度。将数值模拟结果与离心机模型试验进行对比验证,表明高岭土中平板锚表面的粗糙系数约为0.3。平板锚丢失埋深随粗糙系数的减小而增大,但粗糙系数对丢失埋深的影响受平板锚厚度比和拉力偏心比的耦合作用。厚度比和偏心比越小,粗糙系数对丢失埋深的影响越显著。     

砂土中扩体锚杆承载特性模型试验研究

在25个室内模型试验基础上,研究了均质砂土中竖向拉拔扩体锚杆的几何尺寸及埋深对其承载特性的影响。试验结果表明,根据深径比的不同,扩体锚杆可以分为浅埋与深埋扩体锚杆2种形式,它们在拉拔过程中均经历了土体弹性变形阶段、非扩体锚固段-土界面剪切破坏阶段、土体弹塑性变形阶段以及剪切破坏阶段,破坏特征分别表现为整体剪切破坏与局部剪切破坏。通过扩体锚杆与普通拉力型锚杆模型试验对比发现：与普通拉力型锚杆相比,扩体锚杆极限承载力、承载比与安全性均有大幅度提高。而通过增大扩体锚固段直径的方式提高扩体锚杆承载力的优势较为明显。此外,根据承载比分析,扩体锚杆存在最优扩体锚固段直径,因此,在实际工程中应寻找一个满足需要的最优扩体锚固段尺寸以取得较好的经济效益。     

Horizontal Pullout Resistance for a Group of Two Vertical Plate Anchors in Clays

The horizontal pullout capacity of a group of two rigid strip plate anchors embedded along the same vertical plane in clays, under undrained condition, has been determined. An increase of cohesion with depth has also been incorporated. The analysis has been performed by using an upper bound finite element limit analysis in combination with linear optimization. For different clear spacing (S) between the anchors, the efficiency factor (η_cγ) has been determined to evaluate the group failure load for different values of (1) embedment ratio (H/B), (2) the normalized rate (m) which accounts for a linear increase of cohesion with depth, and (3) normalized unit weight (γH/c_o). The magnitude of the group failure load (1) becomes maximum corresponding to a certain spacing (S_cr) between the anchors, and (2) increases with an increase in the γH/c_o up to a certain value before attaining a certain maximum magnitude. The value of S_cr/B has been found to vary generally between 0.7 and 1.2. The maximum magnitude of η_cγ, associated with the critical spacing, (1) increases generally with increases in H/B, and (2) decreases with an increase in m. For a greater spacing between the anchors, the analysis reveals the development of a local shear zone around the lower anchor plate. The numerical results developed are expected to be useful for purpose of design.     

Three-dimensional numerical analysis of the keying of vertically installed plate anchors in clay

Plate anchors, such as suction embedded plate anchors and vertically driven plate anchors, offer economically attractive anchoring solutions for deep/ultra-deep water offshore developments. The rotation/keying processes of plate anchors will cause embedment losses, which lead to decreases of the uplift resistances of the anchors in normally consolidated soil. In the present paper, the keying processes of vertically installed strip and square plate anchors are simulated using the 3-D large deformation finite element method. The effects of loading eccentricity and pullout angle on the embedment loss during keying are investigated. Both the development of the uplift resistance and the soil flow mechanisms are presented. The numerical results show that the loading eccentricity e/B has a much larger effect on the embedment loss than the pullout angle does. The anchor shape has a minimal effect on the loss in anchor embedment. The shape factors (square/strip) are 1.05–1.09 for loss of embedment and 1.10–1.19 for capacity.     

Effect of shape on holding capacity of plate anchors buried in soft soil

Plate anchor is one of the most common varieties of anchors used in the construction and maintenance work of various on-land and offshore structures. An accurate estimation of the uplift capacity of anchor foundations is necessary for an economical design as well as for the safety and stability of structures. This paper outlines the effect of shape of anchor plates on their breakout capacity, through a series of model tests. Both shallow and deep anchor behaviours were investigated under conditions developing suction force and without suction force. The results of these tests are presented in terms of load-displacement behaviour, variation of breakout factors (with and without suction force) with depth of embedment, the critical embedment depth of anchors and variation of suction force with embedment ratio. Further, the variations of breakout factor ratio with aspect ratio and embedment ratio are reported. Based on the experimental results and the model test results of other investigators an empirical relationship has been suggested to determine the shape factor and holding capacity of plate anchors buried in saturated cohesive soils.     

均质黏土中圆形平板锚的抗拉承载力分析

基于网格重新生成和场变量映射的大变形有限元模型,探索了立即脱离和无脱离两种典型条件下均质黏土中圆形平板锚的抗拉承载力。与小变形有限元比较,大变形分析克服了锚周围土体初始网格畸变的不利影响,能够追踪平板锚整个拔出过程中抗拉力的变化。通过具体算例,考察平板锚表面摩擦性质和上覆土重等因素对立即脱离工况承载力的影响程度,指出有重土中深锚的承载力小于无重土中对应的承载力与上覆土重之和,其上限是无脱离条件下的承载力。计算结果表明：土重对无脱离条件下的承载力影响很小,进而给出了无脱离承载力系数与初始埋深的关系曲线。     

Numerical Investigation of the Inclined Pullout Behavior of Anchors Embedded in Clay

Two-dimensional plane strain finite element analysis has been used to simulate the inclined pullout behavior of strip anchors embedded in cohesive soil. Previous studies by other researchers were mainly concerned with plate anchors subjected to loads perpendicular to their longest axis and applied through the centre of mass. This paper investigates the behavior of vertical anchors subjected to pullout forces applied at various inclinations with respect to the longest anchor axis, and applied at the anchor top and through the centre of mass. The effects on the pullout behavior of embedment depth, overburden pressure, soil–anchor interface strength, anchor thickness, rate of clay strength increase, anchor inclination, load inclination and soil disturbance due to anchor installation were all studied. Anchor capacity is shown to increase with load inclination angle for anchors loaded through the centre of mass; greater effects are found for higher embedments. The results also show that anchor capacity improves at a decreasing rate with higher rates of increase of soil shear strength with depth. In addition, the capacity of vertically loaded anchors is shown to approximately double when the soil–anchor interface condition changes from fully separated to fully bonded. Similarly, disturbed clay strengths adjacent to the anchor following installation cause a significant reduction in anchor capacity. The results showed a significant effect of the point of load application for anchors inclined and normally loaded. The effects of other parameters, such as anchor thickness, were found to be less significant.     

Vertical Uplift Capacity of Equally Spaced Multiple Strip Anchors in Sand

The ultimate uplift resistance of a group of multiple strip anchors placed in sand and subjected to equal magnitudes of vertical upward pullout loads has been determined by means of model experiments. Instead of using a number of anchor plates in the experiments, a single anchor plate was used by simulating the boundary conditions along the planes of symmetry on both the sides of the anchor plate. The effect of clear spacing (s) between the anchors, for different combinations of embedment ratio (λ) of anchors and friction angle (ϕ) of soil mass, was examined in detail. The results were presented in terms of a non-dimensional efficiency factor (ξ_γ), which was defined as the ratio of the failure load for an intervening strip anchor of a given width (B) to that of a single strip anchor plate having the same width. It was clearly noted that the magnitude of ξ_γ reduces quite extensively with a decrease in the spacing between the anchors. The magnitude of ξ_γ for a given s/B was found to vary only marginally with respect to changes in λ and ϕ. The experimental results presented in this study compare reasonably well with the theoretical and experimental data available in literature.
