Effects of principal stress rotation on wave-induced soil response in a poro-elastoplastic sandy seabed

In this study, a constitutive model is developed in order to investigate wave–seabed interactions. This model takes into account the impact of principal stress rotation (PSR) and is based on the generalized plasticity theory, in which plastic strain generated by PSR is considered an additional item in the constitutive relationship of soil. The normalized loading direction and plastic flow direction were determined based on the stress tensor invariant. Comparisons between the present model and previous Hollow Cylinder Apparatus tests and geotechnical centrifugal wave tests show good agreement. Numerical results show the effects of PSR on predictions of liquefaction potential due to: (a) the cumulative impact of plastic strain in the seafloor and (b) the buildup of pore pressure. Parametric study shows that the model parameters, including the wave and seabed parameters, have significant effects on the wave-induced soil liquefaction.

     

A semi-analytical method for the wave-induced seabed response

A general semi-analytical method is presented for the analysis of seabed response under wave action during a storm. The seabed is idealized as a poro-elastic medium filled with a single compressible fluid with anisotropic flow. The coupled process of fluid flow and deformation of soil skeleton is formulated in the framework of Biot's theory. The analysis for the response of homogeneous seabed of finite thickness under a plane progressive wave is developed first, followed by an extension for the case of a layered seabed. A generalization for three-dimensional response of seabed is also developed for a general wave field which provides the analyses for seabed response under short-crested or standing waves in the vicinity of a structure. Some numerical examples illustrating the proposed analyses are also presented.     

Wave-induced soil response in an unsaturated anisotropic seabed of finite thickness

An analytical solution for the wave-induced soil response is developed for a seabed of finite thickness subject to a three-dimensional (3-D) wave system produced by two intersecting waves of equal properties. These 3-D exact solutions for the pore pressure and effective stresses, proposed for a non-cohesive soil matrix of finite depth in a homogeneously unsaturated and anisotropic condition, are readily reducible to the limiting two-dimensional cases of progressive and standing waves, for which no explicit solutions are available for finite thickness. The effects of soil isotropy, degree of saturation, seabed thickness and grain size on the wave-induced pore pressure are discussed in detail. The explicit solutions presented in this study for the wave-induced pore pressure and effective stresses should benefit the laboratory experiments and field monitoring programs carried out in soil of finite depth.

运用随机波浪理论,基于广义Biot动力固结理论,建立了能够考虑波浪荷载随机特性影响的计算海床动力响应及液化深度的解析数值模型,并从时域上进行求解分析.通过与传统线性规则波浪荷载作用下海床动力响应及液化深度的数值结果的对比分析,详细讨论了考虑波浪荷载的随机特性对于求解海床动力响应及液化深度的影响程度.结果表明,根据随机波浪理论计算得到的海床中的超孔隙水压力、水平有效应力、竖向有效应力、剪应力表现出较强的不规则性,其幅值沿着海床深度方向的变化趋势与根据线性规则波浪理论计算得到结果的变化趋势基本相同,但在同数量级上更大,同时计算得到的海床最大液化深度明显大于根据线性规则波浪理论计算得到的结果.因此,在海洋地基设计和自由场地安全评估时应该合理地考虑波浪荷载的随机特性.

Oscillatory soil response and liquefaction in an unsaturated layered seabed

The subject of wave-induced soil response in a real seabed has attracted the attention of geotechnical and coastal engineers over the last three decades, for which several basic theories have been developed. However, the evaluation of soil liquefaction has not been attempted theoretically in a seabed with multiple sub-layers, in which homogeneity in soil properties can be assumed within each layer. In this study, a semi-analytical approach is presented for obtaining solutions for the pore pressure and effective stresses in a non-cohesive layered seabed of finite thickness subject to a system of three-dimensional waves. Based on the numerical results for a layered seabed, influences of soil characteristics (relative layer thickness, permeability ratio and shear modulus) on seabed responses are described. Special attention is given to the effect of placing a coarser material as a top layer for protecting an underlayer of finer sediment. Although only a three-layered seabed is explicitly solved in this study, the procedure outlined can readily be extended to a multi-layered soil system. The three-dimensional solutions can also be applied to the two-dimensional progressive or standing wave systems.     

近海欠密实砂质海床内波致渐进液化特征研究

利用一个经过广泛验证的数值模型FSSI-CAS 2D为计算工具,采用砂土的高级本构模型Pastor-Zienkiewicz-Mark III (PZIII) 描述海床砂土的动态力学行为,定量研究松散海床地基土在波浪作用下,其内部的液化过程和特征,以加深对波致海床液化特征、性质的认识。计算结果分析表明,开发的耦合数值模型FSSI-CAS 2D能够很好地捕捉到波浪作用下欠密实海床的动力响应特征,以及海床内的累积液化过程等一些列的非线性物理现象。研究表明,波浪导致的松砂海床液化是一个渐进过程,海床表面首先液化,并逐渐向下扩展。     

波浪导致黄河口海床沉积物超孔压响应现场试验研究

黄河口海床特殊的工程地质性质与复杂的工程动力稳定性问题,均与海床沉积物在波浪荷载作用下的孔压动力响应密切相关。在现代黄河水下三角洲潮间带岸滩选择4个典型研究点,现场模拟波浪作用对原状海床沉积物实施循环加载,利用孔隙水压力观测、沉积物强度测试、样品采集与实验室土工测试等方法手段,测定黄河口原状海床沉积物在循环荷载作用不同阶段的孔压响应与强度变化。研究发现,黄河口原状海床沉积物在经历循环加载过程中,典型的超孔压响应可分为逐渐累积、部分消散、快速累积、累积液化和完全消散5个阶段,分别对应沉积物强度的衰减、增大、衰减、丧失和恢复过程,沉积物的粒度组成与结构性强弱决定了超孔压的具体响应模式。波浪导致原状海床液化深度受沉积物的干密度、孔隙比、饱和度等初始物理性质影响显著,细颗粒组分的相对含量高低也在很大程度上控制着沉积物的液化特性。     

非线性波浪作用下海底管线-海床动力响应分析

确定波浪荷载作用下海底埋置管线和海床的响应是海底管线设计中的关键问题。目前大多数研究只是考虑了管线、海床在线性推进波作用下的响应,并没有考虑管线与海床之间的相互作用效应。采用接触摩擦理论,考虑管线与海床之间的相互作用效应,基于有限元方法研究了非线性波浪作用下海底埋置管线和多孔海床相互作用问题。数值计算结果表明,在计算中如果忽略波浪非线性项,既有可能低估海底管线内应力及管线周围海床中孔隙水压力,也有可能高估海底管线内应力及管线周围海床中孔隙水压力。

The axisymmetric consolidation of a semi‐infinite transversely isotropic saturated soil

This paper presents an exact analytical solution to fully coupled axisymmetric consolidation of a semi‐infinite, transversely isotropic saturated soil subjected to a uniform circular loading at the ground surface. The analysis is under the framework of Biot's general theory of consolidation. First, the governing equations of consolidation are transformed into a set of equivalent partial differential equations with the introduction of two auxiliary variables. These partial differential equations are then solved using Hankel–Laplace integral transforms. Once solutions in the transformed domain have been obtained, the actual solutions in the physical domain for displacements and stress components of the solid matrix, pore‐water pressure and fluid discharge can be finally obtained by direct numerical inversion. The accuracy of the numerical solutions developed is confirmed by comparison with an existing exact solution for an isotropic and saturated soil that is a special case of the more general problem addressed. Numerical analyses are also presented to investigate the influence of the degree of material anisotropy on the consolidation settlement. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Numerical modelling of transient contaminant migration problems in infinite porous fractured media using finite/infinite element technique. Part I: Theory

The leakage effect in porous fissured media has been considered in a general sense by introducing a new expression of the leakage term in this paper. The double porosity concept is employed and the related expressions are formulated using the upwind finite element approach. Considering the infinite extension of the problem domain, a mapped transient infinite element has been presented to simulate the far field of the infinite medium. Since the mass transfer function of the present mapped transient infinite element is dependent on both space and time variables, the mechanism of transient contaminant migration problems in infinite porous fractured media can be rigorously simulated because the property matrices of the element are evaluated at any time of interest. By comparing the current numerical results with the analytical ones, the accuracy, correctness and effectiveness of the present method have been established. Three different time discretization schemes were examined and it was found that either the central difference or the backward difference approximation is suitable for the upwind finite element simulation of transient contaminant migration problems.     

Numerical modelling of transient contaminant migration problems in infinite porous fractured media using finite/infinite element technique. Part II: Parametric study

Using the numerical model presented in the first paper of this research,¹ a parametric study has been carried out in this paper to investigate the effect of several important parameters on the transient contaminant transport in infinite porous fractured media. From the related numerical results, it has been demonstrated that: (1) transmissive coefficient between the porous block and the fissured network has a significant influence on the value of the concentration but has little effect on the speed of contaminant transport; (2) porosities in the porous block and fissured network have a significant influence on the maximum value of the concentration; (3) average linear velocity of flow has a significant influence on both the concentration distribution and speed of contaminant transport; (4) dispersion coefficient of the medium affects not only the shape of the concentration versus time curve but also the peak value of the concentration.     

Dynamic response of a pile embedded in a porous medium subjected to plane SH waves

In this paper, the frequency domain dynamic response of a pile embedded in a porous medium subjected to SH seismic waves is investigated. The surrounding porous medium of the pile is described by Biot’s poro-elastic theory, while the pile embedded in the porous medium is treated as a beam and described by a beam vibration theory. Using the Hankel transformation method, the fundamental solution for a half-space porous medium subjected to a horizontal circular patch load is established. According to the fictitious pile methodology, the second kind of Fredholm integral equation for the pile is established in terms of the obtained fundamental solution and free wave field. The solution of the integral equation yields the dynamic response of the pile to plane SH waves. Numerical results indicate that the parameters of the porous medium, the pile and incident waves have considerable influences on the dynamic response of the pile and the porous medium.
