地震作用下预应力锚索边坡的稳定性分析

稳定性分析对边坡工程具有重要的意义。为探究地震对预应力锚固边坡的影响,基于预应力锚索具有安全储备的特点,分析了地震作用下边坡的分阶段模型。在传统Newmark法的基础上,采用拟动力计算,推导了顺层岩质边坡的位移、锚固力和安全系数计算公式。结合工程两个算例,探究了不同锚索模型和地震累积作用下的边坡变形规律。由结果可知,当锚索锚固力取固定值时,边坡计算位移偏大,随时间呈线性增长。当考虑锚索的安全储备时,位移增长速率随时间逐渐减小,最后趋近于定值。不同锚索模型对位移影响较大,锚索储备作用不可忽略。同时地震会对预应力锚固边坡产生永久性影响。当再次发生扰动时,其表现为临界滑动阈值的提升,位移增长率与受震经历的加速度幅值呈反指数变化。以露天矿区边坡为背景,在抗震设防标准下确定最佳支护方案。

变荷载作用下碎石桩复合地基固结简化分析

用碎石桩对软弱土进行地基处理是一种常用的地基处理方法,桩间土的固结问题是碎石桩复合地基中非常关注的问题,该问题在不同假设条件下的研究也取得了大量成果。在考虑桩土模量比（即应力状态稳定时的桩土应力比）及碎石桩面积置换率影响的前提下,基于等应变假设,将任意变荷载转化为傅里叶级数,从而推导出了变荷载作用下碎石桩桩间土固结解析解,给出了任意时刻桩土承担的应力变化关系,对现有理论进行了合理的修正。通过算例与现有理论对比分析表明,本算法合理可行,当碎石桩面积置换率及桩土模量比比较大时应该考虑其对固结的影响。此外,根据上述理论对Carrillo假设进行了分析,证明竖向和径向固结分别独立考虑的假设并不精确,但得出的总体规律与实际较为接近。     

Numerical analysis of the installation effects on the behaviour of soft clay improved by stone columns

This paper addresses the installation effects of stone columns in soft soils. Focus is made on the lateral expansion of stone material using the vibro displacement and substitution techniques by means of numerical simulations. The behaviour of reinforced soil after stone column installation is investigated to show how the properties of soft soils can be improved prior to final loading. The effect of such an improvement on the prediction of reinforced soil settlement is evaluated. The axisymmetric unit cell model (UCM) served for the comparison between numerical predictions made by the Mohr-Coulomb and hardening soil constitutive laws adopted for the soft soil. An equivalent group of end bearing columns model was investigated in the axisymmetric condition to predict the settlement of reinforced soil by adopting the Mohr-Coulomb constitutive model for soft clay. The reduction of settlements predicted by the unit cell and group of columns models, due the improvement of the Young’s modulus of soft clay, were compared. It is concluded that a significant reduction of settlement is expected when the group of columns model is considered.     

循环荷载下红层泥岩土的动态特性

针对红层泥岩土这种特殊的粒类材料,通过动三轴试验研究了其在循环荷载下的动态特性。分析了应变和围压对动态参数(动模量、阻尼比)的影响,在对动模量归一化的基础上,并考虑最大阻尼比与围压的关系,提出了一个阻尼比的计算方法。引入了动应力水平的概念,由试验数据得到红层泥岩土的临界动应力水平为30%左右。动强度随围压增加而增大,而随振次的增加减小;在较小的破坏应变标准下,动应力对动强度的影响起主导作用,破坏应变标准增大时,振次的影响起主要作用。根据累积应变曲线的发展趋势,把红层泥岩土的累积变形分为稳定型和破坏型,分析了产生不同变形曲线的原因,并分别采用不同的经验公式对两种累积变形进行计算,得到了各参数的取值范围。     

Three-dimensional DEM analysis of single geogrid-encased stone columns under unconfined compression: a parametric study

Three-dimensional discrete element method (DEM) was employed in this study to analyze the behavior of single geogrid-encased stone columns under unconfined compression. Four important parameters were investigated to understand and evaluate their effects on the behavior of the encased columns by seven DEM models. The biaxial geogrid used as an encasement material for stone columns was simulated using parallel-bonded particles, and the aggregate in the stone column was simulated using graded particles. Both the macroscopic responses (e.g., vertical pressure–strain curves) and the microscopic interactions (e.g., contact force, coordination number, and sliding fraction) of the columns under unconfined compression were analyzed and are presented in this paper. The numerical results show that the geogrid encasement with high tensile stiffness could provide high confining stresses and then effectively increased the bearing capacity of the column. The short column yielded quickly even though its column modulus at a small deformation was relatively high. The modulus of the column slightly decreased with an increase in the column diameter due to high circumferential strains mobilized in the geogrid encasement. The column with large aggregate was stiffer and deformed less than the column with small aggregate. Selecting aggregate with a size larger than the geogrid aperture size was an effective way to achieve better interlocking between the aggregate and the geogrid and to minimize mass loss for the geogrid-encased stone column under loading. Due to limited deformation allowed by the geogrid encasement, a coefficient of radial stress equal to half of the coefficient of passive earth pressure was suggested to estimate the ultimate bearing capacity of the geosynthetic-encased stone column.     

Consolidation and deformation around stone columns: Numerical evaluation of analytical solutions

Coupled finite element analyses of the consolidation and deformation around stone columns have been performed to assess the accuracy of different analytical solutions. The numerical model reproduces the hypotheses of the closed-form solutions. In the model, a rigid load is applied to a unit cell formed by a fully penetrating column and its surrounding soil, and simple elastic or elasto-plastic soil models are used. The surface settlement, the dissipation of the pore pressure and the vertical stress concentration on the column are studied. These soil responses are accurately estimated with closed-form solutions that properly include the radial and plastic strains in the column. However, the surrounding soil does not yield for usual conditions, which reasonably justifies the elastic soil behavior assumed in the analytical solutions. The differences between drained and consolidation analyses are also evaluated. Comparing the numerical results with the closed-form solutions illustrates the implications of the assumptions of each approach.     

地震作用下预应力锚索加固顺层岩坡极限分析

针对地震作用下预应力锚索加固顺层岩坡典型模型,提出了一种地震作用下预应力锚索加固顺层岩坡的极限分析改进方法,该方法考虑了边坡极限状态时锚索的受力变化。基于岩体刚性假设并考虑滑移过程锚索受力变化,结合极限平衡法推导出边坡加固预应力锚索的受力变化公式;地震作用仅考虑地震波传播至滑动面时产生的透射波对边坡稳定性的影响,从功率的角度出发,结合极限分析上限法与强度折减法,考虑预应力锚索受力变化,推导出地震作用下预应力锚索加固顺层岩坡的动安全系数计算理论公式;结合算例,采用考虑与不考虑滑移过程锚索受力变化两种计算方法,分析了在不同入射波波幅、入射角度及滑动面黏聚力、内摩擦角条件下两种方法计算结果的差异。算例结果表明：考虑与不考虑滑移过程锚索受力变化计算方法,计算得出的动安全系数变化规律一致,但考虑滑移过程锚索受力变化的改进计算方法得出的动安全系数动态变化幅度明显更小,反映了锚索的抗震作用效果,可为地震作用下该类型岩坡的预应力锚索加固设计分析提供参考。     

Failure modes and bearing capacity of strip footings on soft ground reinforced by floating stone columns

This study evaluates the failure modes and the bearing capacity of soft ground reinforced by a group of floating stone columns. A finite difference method was adopted to analyze the performance of reinforced ground under strip footings subjected to a vertical load. The investigation was carried out by varying the aspect ratio of the reinforced zone, the area replacement ratio, and the surface surcharge. General shear failure of the reinforced ground was investigated numerically without the surcharge. The results show the existence of an effective length of the columns for the bearing capacity factors N _c and N _γ. When certain surcharge was applied, the failure mode of the reinforced ground changed from the general shear failure to the block failure. The aspect ratio of the reinforced zone and the area replacement ratio also contributed to this failure mode transition. A counterintuitive trend of the bearing capacity factor N _q can be justified with a shift in the critical failure mode. An upper-bound limit method based on the general shear failure mode was presented, and the results agree well with those of the previous studies of reinforced ground. Equivalent properties based on the area-weighted average of the stone columns and clay parameters were used to convert the individual column model to an equivalent area model. The numerical model produced reasonable equivalent properties. Finally, a theoretical method based on the comparison of the analytical equations for different failure modes was developed for engineering design. Good agreement was found between the theoretical and numerical results for the critical failure mode and its corresponding bearing capacity factors.

包裹碎石桩承载特性试验研究

为了研究包裹碎石桩的承载机制,开展了室内模型试验,对不同套筒长度和刚度的包裹碎石桩承载力、端阻力、变形和破坏情况等进行了分析。试验中利用自制的桩体径向变形测量仪监测了桩体的径向变形情况。试验结果表明：当桩体支承在坚硬土层时,全长包裹碎石桩有效提高碎石桩的承载力和刚度,且采用弹性模量较大的土工材料套筒,包裹碎石桩的极限承载力和刚度也较大,部分包裹碎石桩（包裹长度为0.6倍桩长）相对于碎石桩优势不明显。这是因为部分包裹碎石桩和全长包裹的承载特性、变形特点和破坏模式均存在差异。全长包裹碎石桩传递至桩底端的荷载大于部分包裹碎石桩和碎石桩的。与部分包裹碎石桩和碎石桩比较,全长包裹碎石桩桩身变形分布较为均匀,同一应力作用下,桩身最大径向变形量较小。此外,全长包裹碎石桩刺入顶部褥垫层发生破坏,而部分包裹碎石桩发生鼓胀破坏。     

竖向荷载下加筋碎石桩复合地基数值分析

采用三维有限元程序建立了一长为6 m、直径为0.8 m的加筋碎石桩复合地基流固耦合数值模型,分析了其在堆载和孔压消散过程中的荷载传递和变形特性。较传统碎石桩,加筋碎石桩复合地基桩土应力比显著增大,超孔压、沉降和桩身侧向变形显著减小,且随筋材刚度的增大,其性能进一步改善。加筋碎石桩复合地基在桩间土固结过程中产生明显的桩土差异沉降,形成土拱效应,使得堆载结束后桩土应力比变化很小。筋材长度对加筋碎石桩复合地基桩土应力比和沉降影响显著,应对其全长加筋才能保证桩体刚度和有效减少沉降。     

Numerical analysis of stone column supported foundations

In this paper, settlement and failure load of rafts resting on stone column reinforced soft clays are analyzed. The influence of the stone columns is assumed to be uniformly and homogeneously distributed throughout the reinforced region. It is also assumed that both columns and surrounding soil undergo the same total strains i.e. no slip occurs on the soil-column interface. A constitutive model is presented for an equivalent material. It combines different elasto-plastic laws, namely the Critical State model for clay and the Mohr-Coulomb criterion for gravel. Continuity of radial stresses is ensured by an additional pseudo-yield criterion. The model is incorporated in a finite element code and results for a circular footing are presented. The influence of dilatancy of the columns is highlighted together with the differences in the behaviour for columns situated at the centre or at the outer boundary of the footing. Flexible as well as rigid foundations are considered. It is emphasized that the finite element mesh is independent of the column spacing leading to considerable advantages in carrying out parametric studies.

包裹碎石桩和碎石桩复合地基抗震性能对比试验研究

包裹碎石桩是在碎石桩外包裹一层土工材料制成的一种新型桩体,由于包裹作用,碎石桩的刚度和抗剪强度得到了明显提高。然而,目前有关包裹碎石桩的研究较少,特别是其抗震性能方面。鉴于此,通过开展包裹碎石桩复合地基和碎石桩复合地基振动台模型试验,在考虑不同类型、幅值的地震波作用下,研究两种复合地基的加速度、桩土应力、破坏现象和位移,进而对比分析这两种复合地基的动力响应规律和抗震性能。试验表明:包裹碎石桩桩顶和桩间土水平方向加速度放大系数均约为碎石桩的2倍;相同地震波条件下,包裹碎石桩复合地基的峰值桩-土应力比约为碎石桩复合地基的3倍;与碎石桩复合地基相比,0.9g人工波加载后包裹碎石桩复合地基在较大区域内产生较窄裂缝;包裹碎石桩复合地基产生的总沉降较碎石桩复合地基减小了51%。因此,包裹碎石桩复合地基的抗震性能优于碎石桩复合地基。     

Numerical analysis of the seismic inertial and kinematic effects on pile bending moment in liquefiable soils

In an effort to study the seismic pile moment induced by the combined structure–pile inertial and soil–pile kinematic effects for single piles and pile groups in liquefiable ground, an extensive series of 3D finite element simulations are conducted in this paper. The roles that lateral inertial and kinematic interactions play on the pile moment are found to differ in different soil–pile–structure systems. Inertial structure force and kinematic soil displacement of the same direction could cause pile head moments of the same or opposite directions depending on the rotational constraint at the pile head. Kinematic interaction has a dominating influence on the pile moment for pile foundations with pile head rotation constrained by the existence of a pile cap, while inertial interaction is strongly influential for free-head piles. The coupling of inertial and kinematic interactions depends on the soil–pile–structure system configuration and the magnitudes of the inertial structure force and the kinematic soil displacement. Many current pseudo-static methods for calculating the seismic pile moment through summing a percentage of the kinematic induced moment with another percentage of the inertial induced moment could produce very inaccurate results under certain conditions.
