能量桩单桩工作特性简化分析方法

基于荷载传递法,建立了热力耦合作用下能量桩单桩工作特性的简化分析方法。该方法中将桩-土荷载传递函数取为双曲线,采用曼辛法则模拟温度循环过程中桩-土界面的卸载和再加载特性,通过再加载过程中刚度的折减近似考虑塑性变形的积累。利用矩阵位移法求解控制方程组后可直接得到任意温度-力学组合作用下的桩体变形、桩身轴力、桩侧阻力和桩端阻力,无需事先假设温度位移零点的位置。通过与试验数据的对比分析,验证了所提方法的可靠性。结合算例,研究了能量桩的长期工作特性。结果表明,温度循环会造成自由桩的桩顶沉降增加,固定桩的桩顶应力减小,温度循环的影响与桩顶静力荷载水平和土体刚度的衰减程度密切相关。

A simplified three-dimensional shallow landslide susceptibility framework considering topography and seismicity

Shallow landslides are a prevalent concern in mountainous or hilly regions that can result in severe societal, economic, and environmental impacts. The challenge is further compounded as the size and location of a potential slide is often unknown. This study presents a generalized approach for the evaluation of regional shallow landslide susceptibility using an existing shallow landslide inventory, remote sensing data, and various geotechnical scenarios. The three-dimensional limit equilibrium model derived in this study uses a raster-based approach that uniquely integrates tree root reinforcement, earth pressure boundary forces, and pseudo-static seismic accelerations. Contributions of this methodology include the back-calculation of soil strength from a landslide inventory, sensitivity analyses regarding landslide size-pixel size relationships, and the determination of shallow landslide susceptibility for a landscape or infrastructure considering various root, water, and seismic conditions using lidar bare-earth DEMs as a topographic input. Using a distribution of inventoried landslide points and random points in non-landslide locales, the proposed methodology demonstrated reasonable correlation between regions of high landslide susceptibility and observed shallow landslides within a 150-km² region of the Oregon Coast Range when the water-height ratio was 0.5. The method may be improved by considering spatial hydrologic conditions and geology more explicitly.     

A simplified analytical method for soil penetration analysis

A new one-dimensional model for penetration analysis of a rigid projectile into a soil target is presented. The soil medium is represented by a set of discs of constant thickness, responding in the radial direction under plain strain regime. When penetration through a typical disc occurs, the projectile displaces soil material and a radial plastic shock wave propagates in the disc. The interaction pressure between the projectile and soil material is compatible with the motion of the contact boundary, between them. The instantaneous resistive force is obtained by summation of the contributions of all the discs which are in contact with the nose surface of the projectile. Soil is considered as a ‘floating’ ideally locking material, in which the locking volumetric strain is adjusted to the physical stress–strain properties of the soil material. Friction between projectile and soil is assumed to be negligible. Comparison is made with both twodimensional computer program results and experimental data, and very good agreement is observed. Comparison with other analytical methods reveals that the present model most closely resembles existing experimental results and permits further analysis of the problem as predictions of target response and of stress distribution on the projectile nose. The calculations require very small amounts of computer time. Analysis with the present model yields an efficient and comprehensive means to analyse penetration and perform parameter analysis.     

EM telemetry assessment for horizontal drilling in part of the Tarim basin through numerical simulation

Electromagnetic telemetry is bi‐directional transmission of borehole data for effective drilling, especially in unconventional wells. In this study, numerical simulations was used to investigate the possibility of applying EM telemetry for measurement while drilling (MWD) in an ultra‐deep borehole in the Tahe region of the Tarim basin, using the drill string as an antenna excited as a gaped dipole source to quantify spatial variations of the electromagnetic field from subsurface to the surface. Results confirm that the distribution of the electric field along the drill string is sensitive to vertical variations of electric conductivity in the host rock. The simulated results show a high attenuation within the conductive formations, thereby limiting the effectiveness of EM telemetry in data transfer to the surface. In addition, the changes in thickness and resistivity of the target region affects the amplitude of the desired response.     

基坑预留土台的简化分析方法研究

利用有限元软件对基坑预留土台对围护结构的内力及变形的影响规律进行研究,并对预留土台作用下围护桩的内力及变形的简化计算方法进行探讨。分析结果表明,预留土台的存在对减小围护桩的内力及变形具有显著的作用,且随着预留土台宽度、高度的增大,围护桩的内力及变形呈明显的减小趋势,但当预留土台宽度增大至约1倍开挖深度时,围护桩的变形逐渐趋于稳定。当计算预留土台作用下的围护桩变形及内力时,先利用弹性地基梁法计算该开挖深度下的围护桩的变形及内力,然后乘以预留土台的面积折减系数,即可得到预留土台作用下的围护桩变形及内力。经实际工程验证,采用该简化计算方法可较为简便地计算预留土台作用下围护桩的内力及变形。     

Petroleum drilling and production operations in the Gulf of Mexico

Decades of offshore and inland petroleum drilling and production in the Gulf of Mexico and on the Gulf coast have provided the much needed energy and chemical feedstocks to the nation, and also have made an impact on the environment in the area. Our study showed deposits of contaminated sediment on the ocean floor around offshore platforms, old reserve pits, and dump sites next to many surface facilities and compressor stations. The substances found on the ocean floor and in dump sites are simple or emulsified mixtures of silt, hydrocarbons, and water. The cleaning of the ocean floor and pits is an economic and technical challenge. Hydrocarbons are from crude oil and chemical additions for various operational necessities, including additions of biocides, corrosion inhibitors, antifreezes, and coagulants. When the new government regulations lower the allowable maximum total organic carbon level to the 50 ppm range, these hydrocarbons can no longer be ignored by drilling and production operators.

A framework for the probabilistic analysis of meteotsunamis

A probabilistic technique is developed to assess the hazard from meteotsunamis. Meteotsunamis are unusual sea-level events, generated when the speed of an atmospheric pressure or wind disturbance is comparable to the phase speed of long waves in the ocean. A general aggregation equation is proposed for the probabilistic analysis, based on previous frameworks established for both tsunamis and storm surges, incorporating different sources and source parameters of meteotsunamis. Parameterization of atmospheric disturbances and numerical modeling is performed for the computation of maximum meteotsunami wave amplitudes near the coast. A historical record of pressure disturbances is used to establish a continuous analytic distribution of each parameter as well as the overall Poisson rate of occurrence. A demonstration study is presented for the northeast U.S. in which only isolated atmospheric pressure disturbances from squall lines and derechos are considered. For this study, Automated Surface Observing System stations are used to determine the historical parameters of squall lines from 2000 to 2013. The probabilistic equations are implemented using a Monte Carlo scheme, where a synthetic catalog of squall lines is compiled by sampling the parameter distributions. For each entry in the catalog, ocean wave amplitudes are computed using a numerical hydrodynamic model. Aggregation of the results from the Monte Carlo scheme results in a meteotsunami hazard curve that plots the annualized rate of exceedance with respect to maximum event amplitude for a particular location along the coast. Results from using multiple synthetic catalogs, resampled from the parent parameter distributions, yield mean and quantile hazard curves. Further refinements and improvements for probabilistic analysis of meteotsunamis are discussed.

基坑开挖反压土作用机制及其简化分析方法研究

分析了反压土与支护结构相互作用的机制。在此基础上,基于弹性抗力法,结合天津市一些工程经验,建立了考虑反压土影响时支护结构内力和变形的计算方法,并结合工程实例进行比较分析。分析结果表明,反压土高度不变时,随着反压土的坡度减小或反压土宽度的增大,支护结构的最大位移和最大弯矩都逐渐减小;当反压土的坡度减小到一定值或顶宽增大到一定的程度时,支护结构的最大位移和最大弯矩不再减小而趋于一个定值。反压土土质条件对反压土的作用的发挥有着显著作用。开挖前进行良好的降水,开挖过程中注意不要扰动反压土,并对反压土做好良好的护坡,防止雨水侵入土坡,这些措施均有助于保证反压土作用的充分发挥。必要时,可考虑对反压土进行注浆加固。工程实测表明本文建议方法的计算结果与工程实测结果较吻合,并表明在开挖面积较大的基坑工程中,条件适当时,采用基坑内侧预留反压土的方法可不需设置水平支撑,可节约大量基坑支护投资,并缩短工期,具有良好的经济效果。     

A Monte Carlo-based framework for risk-return analysis in mineral prospectivity mapping

Quantification of a mineral prospectivity mapping (MPM) heavily relies on geological, geophysical and geochemical analysis, which combines various evidence layers into a single map. However, MPM is subject to considerable uncertainty due to lack of understanding of the metallogenesis and limited spatial data samples. In this paper, we provide a framework that addresses how uncertainty in the evidence layers can be quantified and how such uncertainty is propagated to the prediction of mineral potential. More specifically, we use Monte Carlo simulation to jointly quantify uncertainties on all uncertain evidence variables, categorized into geological, geochemical and geophysical. On stochastically simulated sets of the multiple input layers, logistic regression is employed to produce different quantifications of the mineral potential in terms of probability. Uncertainties we address lie in the downscaling of magnetic data to a scale that makes such data comparable with known mineral deposits. Additionally, we deal with the limited spatial sampling of geochemistry that leads to spatial uncertainty. Next, we deal with the conceptual geological uncertainty related to how the spatial extent of the influence of evidential geological features such as faults, granite intrusions and sedimentary formations. Finally, we provide a novel way to interpret the established uncertainty in a risk-return analysis to decide areas with high potential but at the same time low uncertainty on that potential. Our methods are illustrated and compared with traditional deterministic MPM on a real case study of prospecting skarn Fe deposition in southwestern Fujian, China.     

A simplified analysis method for piled raft and pile group foundations with batter piles

A simplified method of numerical analysis has been developed to estimate the deformation and load distribution of piled raft foundations subjected to vertical, lateral, and moment loads, using a hybrid model in which the flexible raft is modelled as thin plates and the piles as elastic beams and the soil is treated as springs. Both the vertical and lateral resistances of the piles as well as the raft base are incorporated into the model. Pile–soil–pile, pile–soil–raft and raft–soil–raft interactions are taken into account based on Mindlin's solutions for both vertical and lateral forces. The validity of the proposed method is verified through comparisons with several existing methods for single piles, pile groups and piled rafts. Workable design charts are given for the estimation of the lateral displacement and the load distribution of piled rafts from the stiffnesses of the raft alone and the pile group alone. Additionally, parametric studies were carried out concerning batter pile foundations. It was found that the use of batter piles can efficiently improve the deformation characteristics of pile foundations subjected to lateral loads. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A simplified analysis method for piled raft foundations in non‐homogeneous soils

A simplified method of numerical analysis based on elasticity theory has been developed for the analysis of axially and laterally loaded piled raft foundations embedded in non‐homogeneous soils and incorporated into a computer program “PRAB”. In this method, a hybrid model is employed in which the flexible raft is modelled as thin plates and the piles as elastic beams and the soil is treated as springs. The interactions between structural members, pile–soil–pile, pile–soil–raft and raft–soil–raft interactions, are approximated based on Mindlin's solutions for both vertical and lateral forces with consideration of non‐homogeneous soils. The validity of the proposed method is verified through comparisons with some published solutions for single piles, pile groups and capped pile groups in non‐homogeneous soils. Thereafter, the solutions from this approach for the analysis of axially and laterally loaded 4‐pile pile groups and 4‐pile piled rafts embedded in finite homogeneous and non‐homogeneous soil layers are compared with those from three‐dimensional finite element analysis. Good agreement between the present approach and the more rigorous finite element approach is demonstrated. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

大型地下厂房块体稳定性简便分析方法

块体是结构控制型岩体中常见的潜在危险源之一。利用极限平衡法及强度折减法两种方法计算了某在建特大型水电站地下厂房开挖揭露的部分块体的安全系数,并根据计算结果提出一种利用块体几何及力学参数判断其稳定性的简便图解方法,经现场监测数据验证计算结果可靠性可满足工程要求。研究表明,对同一块体而言,极限平衡法和强度折减法得到的安全系数以及对其稳定性的总体判别结果并不一致。强度折减法受软件算法及网格尺寸影响,结果偏于保守。简单块体的安全系数计算应以极限平衡法为主,而复杂形态块体的安全系数用强度折减法计算较为方便。利用垂向地应力、块体体积、最大角点深度及结构面等效强度等4个指标并结合块体稳定性判别分区图,可满足快速判断块体稳定性的需要。对于判别为不稳定的块体,应及时支护并考虑加强支护。研究成果可用于类似工程块体稳定性的快速分析。

A simplified nonlinear analysis method for piled raft foundation in layered soils under vertical loading

This paper presents a simplified nonlinear solution for piled raft foundations in layered soils under vertical loading. Based on the elastic–plastic analysis of a single pile in a layered soil, the shielding effect between a receiver pile and the soil is taken into account to modify the conventional interaction factor between two piles. An approximate approach with the concept of the interaction factor is employed to study the nonlinear behavior of pile groups with a rigid cap. Considering the variation of soil properties, the solution to multilayered elastic materials is used to calculate the settlement of the soil. The interactions between pile–soil–raft are taken into account to determine the stiffness matrix of the piled raft. By solving the stiffness matrix equations, the settlement and the load shared by the piles and raft could be obtained. Compared with results of the available published literatures, the proposed solution provides reasonable results.
