Stability of anchored sheet wall in cohesive‐frictional soils by FE limit analysis

This study extends the limit analysis techniques used for the computation of strict bounds of the load factors in solids to stability problems with interfaces, anchors and joints. The cases considered include the pull‐out capacity of multi‐belled anchors and the stability of retaining walls for multiple conditions at the anchor/soil and wall/soil interfaces. Three types of wall supports are examined: free standing wall, simply supported wall and anchored wall. The results obtained are compared against available experimental and numerical data. The conclusion drawn confirms the validity of numerical limit analysis for the computation of accurate bounds on limit loads and capturing failure modes of structures with multiple inclusions of complex interfaces and support conditions.

对沿深度离散形成一系列均质的土层,应用传递矩阵法推导出单桩的动力阻抗。借助推求的桩-桩动力相互作用因子,研究承台板与群桩的竖向动力相互作用,通常假设承台板是刚性的,并充分考虑了承台板具有一定的刚度、可以变形的柔性承台板,提出承台板-群桩动力相互作用模型,然后推出其动力相互作用方程。通过算例说明了承台板的刚度对承台板的动力作用是有影响的。研究结果表明,振动频率越低,柔性承台板的振幅与刚性承台板的振幅相差越大;随着频率的增大,二者差别也减小,并逐渐趋于相等。

Dynamic response of a pile considering the interaction of pile variable cross section with the surrounding layered soil

Assuming that the pile variable cross section interacts with the surrounding soil in the same way as the pile toe does with the bearing stratus, the interaction of pile variable cross section with the surrounding soil is represented by a Voigt model, which consists of a spring and a damper connected in parallel, and the spring constant and damper coefficient are derived. Thus, a more rigid pile–soil interaction model is proposed. The surrounding soil layers are modeled as axisymmetric continuum in which its vertical displacements are taken into account and the pile is assumed to be a Rayleigh–Love rod with material damping. Allowing for soil properties and pile defects, the pile–soil system is divided into several layers. By means of Laplace transform, the governing equations of soil layers are solved in frequency domain, and a new relationship linking the impedance functions at the variable‐section interface between the adjacent pile segments is derived using a Heaviside step function, which is called amended impedance function transfer method. On this basis, the impedance function at pile top is derived by amended impedance function transfer method proposed in this paper. Then, the velocity response at pile top can be obtained by means of inverse Fourier transform and convolution theorem. The effects of pile–soil system parameters are studied, and some conclusions are proposed. Then, an engineering example is given to confirm the rationality of the solution proposed in this paper.

Numerical studies of anchored sheet pile wall behavior constructed in cut and fill conditions

The construction of sheet pile walls may involve either excavation of soils in front or backfilling of soils behind the wall. These construction procedures generate different loading conditions in the soil and therefore different wall behavior should also be expected. The conventional methods, which are based on limit equilibrium approach, commonly used in the design of anchored sheet pile walls do not consider the method of construction. However, continuum mechanics numerical methods, such as finite element method, make it possible to incorporate the construction method during the analyses and design of sheet pile walls. The effect of wall construction type for varying soil conditions and wall heights were investigated using finite element modeling and analysis. The influence of construction method on soil behavior, wall deformations, wall bending moments, and anchor forces were investigated. The study results indicate that walls constructed by backfill method yield significantly higher bending moments and wall deformations. This paper presents the results of the numerical parametric study performed and comparative analyses of the anchored sheet pile walls constructed by different construction methods.     

Effects of soil anisotropy on a soil structure interaction in a heat exchanger pile

A coupled thermal-hydro-mechanical computational modeling of actual field tests, which had been conducted on an end bearing heat exchanger pile, has been carried out. Results of a conventional triaxial test program, which was performed during the site investigation, indicated that two soil layers were anisotropic. A simplified form of a transverse isotropy was used to model the response of these layers. Additional analyses were carried out for completely isotropic soil layers. Comparisons between the measurements obtained during the field testing and predictions of the computational models showed a very good to excellent agreement. Overall the anisotropic model performed better than the isotropic model.     

Modelling of the mechanical interaction between anchored wire meshes and granular soils

In this paper a theoretical and numerical analysis of the mechanical interaction between an anchored deformable facing structure and the underlying granular soil is presented. The reinforcement system is mainly composed of wire meshes, geosynthetics, bars/ties, and spike steel plates. This is usually employed for stabilising potentially unstable slopes. The punching process that can occur locally is described by considering the complex interaction mechanisms arising among the different system elements and the soil. For the sake of simplicity, the soil stratum and the anchor are assumed to be horizontal and vertical, respectively. A simplified displacement-based approach is introduced with the main goal of evaluating both the maximum force that can be applied on the anchor and the correlated penetration of the spike plate within the soil. The approach is validated by means of experimental laboratory test results already available in the literature. Finally, in order to stress the role of the spike plates' spacing and the soil stiffness in influencing the mechanical response of the system, the numerical results of parametric analyses are discussed.

考虑桩桩相互作用的双排支护桩受力变形分析

双排桩支护结构的变形与内力计算是其设计计算的重要内容之一。双排支护桩结构是由前排桩、后排桩及桩顶连系梁组成的空间门架式结构。在承受水平荷载时,后排桩向坑内发生挠曲变形,挤压桩间土体,同时桩间土体又对前排桩产生推力,使得前排桩向坑内发生挠曲变形,挤压前排桩桩前土体,以致该支护结构在传递水平荷载时,前后排桩及桩间土体之间存在非常复杂的相互作用。本文基于上述双排桩支护结构受力变形特性,将前、后排桩均视为竖向放置的弹性地基梁,以欧拉伯努利双层梁理论考虑前后排桩的相互作用,以水平向弹簧模拟桩间土相互作用,以朗肯土压力计算作用于后排桩的主动土压力,以弹性抗力法计算作用于前排桩基坑底面以下的被动土压力,以基坑底面为界人为将前、后排桩分为上下部分,并通过桩身各段的受力平衡建立前后排桩的挠曲变形控制微分方程,然后通过桩端约束及基坑坑底平面处的连续条件得到方程的解析解,给出了一种考虑桩桩相互作用以及桩土相互作用的双排桩支护结构计算方法。最后结合两个实例,将本文方法计算结果与实例结果进行对比分析,验证本文方法的可行性,以期为双排桩支护结构在工程中的设计计算提供借鉴。     

A coupling method for soil structure interaction problems

This paper describes a soil‐structure coupling method to simulate blast loading in soil and structure response. For the last decade, simulation of soil behavior under blast loading and its interaction with semi buried structure in soil becomes the focus of computational engineering in civil and mechanical engineering communities. In current design practice, soil‐structure interaction analysis often assumes linear elastic properties of the soil and uses small displacement theory. However, there are numerous problems, which require a more advanced approach that account for soil‐structure interaction and appropriate constitutive models for soil. In simplified approaches, the effect of soil on structure is considered using spring‐dashpot‐mass system, and the blast loading is modeled using linearly decaying pressure–time history based on equivalent trinitrotoluene and standoff distance, using ConWep, a computer program based on semi‐empirical equations. This strategy is very efficient from a CPU time computing point of view but may not provide accurate results for the dynamic response of the structure, because of its significant limitations, mainly when soil behavior is strongly nonlinear and when the buried charge is close to the structure. In this paper, both soil and explosive are modeled using solid elements with a constitutive material law for soil, and a Jones–Wilkins–Lee equation of state for explosive. One of the problems we have encountered when solving fluid structure interaction problems is the high mesh distortion at the contact interface because of high fluid nodal displacements and velocities. Similar problems have been encountered in soil structure interaction problems. To prevent high mesh distortion for soil, a new coupling algorithm is performed at the soil structure interface for structure loading. The coupling method is commonly used for fluid structure interaction problems in automotive and aerospace industry for fuel sloshing tank, and bird impact problems, but rarely used for soil structure interaction problems, where Lagrangian contact type algorithms are still dominant.

型钢水泥土复合梁中型钢-水泥土相互作用试验研究

在深度不太大的基坑而条件适当时可采用小规格型钢加筋水泥土结构作为挡土墙,但对其破坏模式和刚度仍缺乏深入地研究。与以型钢刚度为主的SMW工法不同,加筋水泥土墙的刚度可能主要依赖于水泥土,型钢主要承担拉应力。打设了6根不同截面高度的模型梁,采用钢板模拟型钢作为加筋,以不同加载方式的水泥土复合梁抗弯试验,分析了试验条件下钢板-水泥土复合梁的破坏机理和抗弯组合强度和抗弯承载力。将复合梁的刚度变化划分为两个阶段,提出了分阶段的特征组合刚度计算方法。当承载力满足足够安全度要求时,建议工程设计时取第一阶段末的特征刚度来计算加筋水泥土挡土墙变形。     

Dynamic characteristics of a large‐diameter pile in saturated soil and its application

This study theoretically investigates the dynamic response of an end‐bearing pile embedded in saturated soil considering the transverse inertial effect of the pile. The saturated soil surrounding the pile is described by Biot poroelastic theory, and the pile is represented by a Rayleigh‐Love rod because both the vertical and radial displacements at the soil‐pile interface are considered. The potential function decomposition method and variable separation method are introduced to solve the governing equations of the soil, in which the vertical and radial displacement components are coupled. The governing equation of the pile is solved using the continuity conditions at the pile‐soil interface. Next, the velocity admittance in the frequency domain and the velocity response in the time domain at the pile top are presented based on the Laplace transform and inverse Fourier transform, respectively. Subsequently, the reduced solution is compared with a 1‐dimensional model solution to verify the validity, and the influences of the slenderness ratio of the pile on the transverse inertial effect of the pile are analyzed. Moreover, Poisson ratio, the slenderness ratio of the pile, and the pile‐soil modulus ratio are studied. Finally, the theoretical and measured curves in the engineering project are compared, and the results demonstrate the good application prospects of the solution presented in this article.     

锚索抗滑桩与岩土体相互作用研究

就目前锚索抗滑桩的研究现状来看，基本上都是将锚索和抗滑桩分开计算，忽略了锚索与抗滑桩之间存在的相互作用关系。针对这一问题，对锚索-抗滑桩-岩土体相互作用系统的计算方法进行了研究。提出了在锚索抗滑桩设计计算中，除了应考虑锚索的强度外。还应该考虑锚索的伸长量，使其与桩的变形相协调。在此基础上，建立了新的锚索抗滑桩计算理论。本文用该方法进行了工程实例分析，并与其他计算方法所得结果进行了对比。     

既有深坑边坡、结构共同作用的动力响应研究

城市周边废弃矿坑逐渐被利用起来以建设大型公共服务项目,建筑群以边坡作为基础将引起新的技术难题。采用大型振动台试验对地震作用下既有深坑边坡、单跨和多跨框架结构的动位移及结构动内力进行了研究。研究结果表明：地震波类型、幅值和激振方向对模型动力响应均有影响,不同地震波对模型动位移和内力的影响存在差异,动位移随激振幅值的增加而增加,双向激振比单向激振引起的动位移大,与激振同方向的位移较其他方向大;单跨和多跨结构控制位移的能力在高强度地震激振下才有差异,后者比前者控制位移的能力强,但柱子内力较前者大;由于结构与地基的共同作用,整体性好、刚度大的结构可提高地基的抗震性能,多跨结构地基较自由场动峰值位移小2.5%～8.8%,永久位移小13.6%～62.1%。试验结果有助于揭示深坑边坡在地震作用下的失稳机制,为深坑边坡及构筑物的抗震设计提供有益的参考。
