强降雨条件下气压对滑坡延时效应研究

在强降雨入渗条件下,浅层边坡土体中的气体可能被封闭,孔隙气压力在封闭条件下随着雨水的入渗不断增加。结合湿润峰面受力分析对封闭气体压力的物理意义进行了说明,通过考虑简化的气阻入渗模型,对比经典的Green-Ampt入渗模型,研究了气压对入渗率和下移的湿润峰的影响。应用该入渗模型,对下部为基岩的大面积浅层边坡雨水入渗过程以及边坡稳定性进行分析。研究表明,封闭气压显著降低了边坡体内雨水的入渗率,对安全系数的降低具有明显的延时性,这进一步揭示了部分地区雨后滑坡频繁发生的重要原因。因此,考虑封闭气压对大面积边坡降雨安全预报具有重要意义

坡体地下水是影响边坡稳定的主要因素,将水排出往往能够阻止滑坡的启动。通过应用基本理论和模型试验对高压充气法应用在边坡排水工程中的可行性进行研究分析。结果表明：将高压充气排水法应用在边坡排水工程中是可行的,且适用于土体中最大孔径大于5.0 μm的边坡;气驱水过程存在初始充气气压且存在上限值;气排水速度与土体渗透系数和充气气压成正比、与水头高度和孔隙通道半径成反比;气排水过程中土体大孔隙通道内产生优先流现象。     

基于主应力迹线分层的有限土体土压力计算

为了研究挡墙后有限土体的主动土压力,以墙后无黏性土体为研究对象,假定破裂面为通过墙踵的平面,且在挡墙平动模式下,墙后土体形成圆弧形小主应力拱。采用沿小主应力迹线分层的方法,将挡墙后土体划分为若干个圆弧形曲线薄层单元,考虑了单元体上下表面应力分布的不均匀性,提出了一种有限土体挡墙主动土压力计算方法,给出了主动土压力合力及其作用点高度的表达式,并验证了该方法的正确性。研究结果表明：采用曲线薄层单元法可以准确考虑单元体复杂的受力情况,能更好地反映挡墙后有限土体主动土压力的变化规律;有限填土时主动土压力沿墙高 呈非线性分布,土压力先随着土体深度增加呈单调递增趋势,然后在接近墙底位置处呈单调递减趋势。分析参数敏感性时取不同土体宽高比与墙背粗糙程度对挡墙主动土压力分布及合力作用点高度进行分析,结果表明：随着土体宽高比n的增大,主动土压力值逐渐增大,土压力分布曲线非线性越来越明显,合力作用点高度逐渐降低且恒大于 。当 0.71时,均趋于稳定。可将 0.71作为有限土体与半无限土体的临界宽高比。随着摩擦角 的增大,主动土压力值逐渐减小,土压力分布曲线非线性越来越明显,合力作用点高度逐渐增大且恒大于 。     

土钉支护边坡动力模型的建立及地震响应分析

参照上部结构抗震设计的方法,对土钉支护边坡的抗震设计提出了3个水准的抗震设防要求和两阶段设计法。综合考虑输入地震波的特性、边坡土体特性、坡高因素,以及土体边坡在水平地震激励下,其位移响应主要为剪切型变形,建立了土钉支护边坡地震动力简化模型。该模型将同一水平层不稳定土体、稳定土体在水平地震作用下运动趋势假想为同步,两者之间相互作用很小,因此,取不稳定土体和面板为研究对象。由于面板很柔,其运动随着土体的运动而变化,其刚度只考虑剪切刚度,将土钉处理成弹性支座,建立了土钉支护边坡振动方程,求解了在简谐地震作用下土钉支护边坡动力响应的解析解,通过该模型可以得到滑移面附近土钉轴力动力响应和土钉支护边坡的弹性动位移响应。最后,结合案例进行了分析,比较了按此分析方法与用ADINA按弹性有限元方法计算的结果,两者吻合较好。故这种方法可用于土钉支护边坡的第1阶段的抗震分析与设计。     

降雨条件下体积含水率对堆积体边坡渗流特性的影响研究

锦屏水电站对外交通专用公路K48+722~800段滑坡受降雨影响明显,其深层稳定性关系到工程安全。本文依据实验数据,采用Fredlund-Xing方法拟合出滑坡体材料的土水特征曲线,以体积含水率反应土体初始湿润状态,研究了降雨条件下边坡压力水头的演化规律,体积含水率对压力水头以及边坡稳定性的影响。结果表明,降雨初期,坡体表面以及滑面处压力水头先增大,并向坡体内部逐渐扩展。雨停一段时间后,坡体表面以及前缘区压力水头逐渐消散,滑面后缘局部地区压力水头会有所升高,压力水头随着体积含水率的增大而增大。体积含水率较小时,在一定的时间内,边坡的稳定性系数先保持稳定,后缓慢降低;当体积含水率较大时,雨停一定时间后边坡的稳定性系数会出现上升的趋势。     

沉桩超孔隙水压力对码头边坡稳定的影响

沉桩会对码头边坡稳定产生不利影响,一是引起桩周土体超孔隙水压力的急剧上升,导致土体有效应力降低;二是沉桩的振动加速度会产生对边坡稳定不利的瞬时惯性力。对于灵敏度低的土质岸坡来说,前者是影响其稳定性的主要因素。考虑沉桩时初始超孔隙水压力的分布,根据Biot固结方程超孔隙水压力消散解的一般表达式,建立了沉桩引起的超孔隙水压力随时间消散的解析式,在条分法的基础上考虑沉桩产生的超孔隙水压力的不利影响,建立了沉桩时边坡稳定安全系数的计算公式。根据沉桩顺序对某码头进行边坡稳定分析,结果表明：考虑打桩作用的岸坡稳定安全系数明显降低,沉桩产生的超孔隙水压力逐渐消散,边坡稳定安全系数随沉桩工序历时变化,施工中期由于超孔隙水压力叠加,岸坡最危险,沉桩结束3个月以后,超孔隙水压力基本消散,边坡稳定安全系数接近不考虑沉桩时的值。工程中要根据打桩计划进行边坡稳定计算。

高饱和度的非饱和土中由于气体处于封闭状态,其内部气压的变化必将对土体的行为产生影响。首先,对高饱和度非饱和土特性进行探讨和研究,随后,在已有非饱和土模型框架基础上,采用广义有效应力原理,建立一个适用于高饱和度条件下的非饱和土的弹塑性本构模型。模型中引入气相耗散的影响,在硬化方程中考虑封闭气体压力改变的影响。最后,利用已有的试验结果来对模型进行验证,并将模型预测结果与前人模型进行对比,表明模型预测可以很好地预测土体的行为,尤其是在高饱和度条件下其结果比其他模型更加接近实际情况。     

柔性支护黏性土基坑非极限被动土压力研究

经典的Rankine和Coulomb土压力计算理论均建立在土体达到极限平衡状态的基础上,并不适用于位移需要严格控制的基坑工程。以柔性支护的黏性土基坑边坡为研究对象,考虑边坡土拱效应、非极限状态下柔性支护结构与土体间内摩擦角以及黏聚力发挥值、土体内摩擦角以及黏聚力发挥值的影响,从黏性土应力莫尔圆出发,采用微层分析法建立静力平衡,搜索边坡土体潜在滑动面,推导柔性支护黏性土基坑的非极限被动土压力计算式。通过实例计算对比分析了本文计算理论与经典Rankine计算理论,推导公式计算得到的被动土压力小于Rankine计算值19%,合力作用位置低于Rankine计算值,作用位置距桩底距离较Rankine计算值小1.5%,计算得到的潜在滑动面为一水平倾角随深度逐渐减小的曲面,潜在滑动面范围小于Rankine极限状态滑动面。     

利用原位浸水试验计算非饱和黄土基质吸力方法研究

精确计算非饱和土渗透系数时需要考虑土体的负孔隙水压力水头值,即基质吸力。然而基质吸力的准确测定有一定难度,通常室内试验与现场测定的结果相差较大,影响实际工程应用。提出一种全新的算法,即利用原位浸水试验数据对土体基质吸力进行计算,利用Green-Ampt入渗模型结合浸水坑水面下降速率和水分传感器测定的浸水渗透速率之间的差值计算出地层负孔隙压力水头值。选取黄土–古土壤互层场地开展原位浸水试验,根据试验数据计算出第一层厚度为4 m的黄土的负孔隙压力水头值为233 cm,第二层为厚度2 m的古土壤层的负孔隙压力水头值为124 cm;应用该算法预测出在浸水坑以下8.4m处地层基质吸力消减为零。本研究是对黄土地层基质吸力计算的一种新尝试。     

考虑抗剪强度衰减特性的膨胀土边坡稳定性分析

针对传统膨胀土边坡稳定性分析中无法考虑膨胀土在降雨入渗过程中抗剪强度动态衰减的问题,本文开展了室内直剪试验,系统研究了干密度和含水量变化对膨胀土抗剪强度指标的影响;同时,以试验抗剪强度结果为参数,开展了基于强度折减法的膨胀土边坡稳定性分析,获得了抗剪强度动态衰减过程中边坡稳定性的变化规律。结果表明,含水量的增加和干密度降低会造成膨胀土黏聚力和内摩擦角的衰减,黏聚力衰减显著,内摩擦角衰减较少;膨胀土边坡稳定性主要受风化层土体含水量控制,随着膨胀土含水量的增加,膨胀土边坡逐渐由稳定状态演变为欠稳定状态;干密度对膨胀土边坡稳定性的影响则相对较小。     

An analytical solution for rainfall infiltration into an unsaturated infinite slope and its application to slope stability analysis

Surficial slope failures in residual soils are common in tropical and subtropical regions as a result of rainfall infiltration. This study develops an analytical solution for simulating rainfall infiltration into an infinite unsaturated soil slope. The analytical solution is based on the general partial differential equation for water flow through unsaturated soils. It can accept soil–water characteristic curve and unsaturated permeability function of the exponential form into account. Numerical simulations are conducted to verify the assumptions of the analytical solution and demonstrate that the proposed analytical solution is acceptable for the coarse soils with low air entry values. The pore‐water pressure (pwp) distributions obtained from the analytical solution can be incorporated into a limit equilibrium method to do infinite slope stability analysis for a rain‐induced shallow slip. The analysis method takes into account the influence of the water content change on unit weight and hence on factor of safety. A series of analytical parametric analyses have been performed using the developed model. The analyses indicate that when the residual soil slope, consisting of a completely decomposed granite layer underlain by a less permeable layer, is subjected to a continuous heavy rainfall, the loss of negative pwp and the reduction in factor of safety were found to be most significant for the shallow soil layer and during the first 12 h. The antecedent and subsequent rainfall intensity, depth of a less permeable layer and slope angle all have a significant influence on the pwp response and hence the slope stability.

Incorporating hydro-mechanical coupling in an analysis of the effects of rainfall patterns on unsaturated soil slope stability

Rainfall-induced landslides can cause loss of life and damage to property, infrastructure, and the environment. Rainfall patterns affect the pore-water pressure of unsaturated soil slopes, and are related to the slopes’ stability. Four rainfall patterns were chosen to represent natural rainfall patterns for an examination of rainfall infiltration into soil slopes using numerical models incorporating coupled water infiltration and deformation in unsaturated soils. Our analysis showed that rainfall patterns play a significant role in the distribution of the pore-water pressure in soil slopes, and influence the slope stability. The pore-water pressure profile of soil slopes and the factor of safety are affected by the ratio of rainfall intensity and the coefficient of permeability. The depth and shape of the shallow sliding plane of the landslide is closely related to the rainfall pattern; moreover, the results showed a correlation between the factor of safety of the slope and the rainfall intensity. This relationship can be described by a dimensionless rainfall intensity. The nonlinear relationship can be used to estimate the slope stability resulting from rainfall infiltration when the hydro-mechanical coupling in unsaturated soil slopes is considered.     

Modeling of layered infinite slope failure triggered by rainfall

The infinite slope is typically regarded as composed of a single-layered soil with a uniform property in various physical-based models used for modeling rainfall-induced shallow landslides. This study extends the physical-based model to consider the layered infinite slope to examine the importance of soil layer distribution for rainfall-induced shallow landslides. Hypothetical scenarios of infinite slope composed of soil layers with different thicknesses and parameters are employed to conduct this examination. The results show that pressure heads caused by rainfall infiltration are strongly related to soil layer distribution. This shows the significant influence of soil layer distribution in assessing infinite slope stability. Failure of a layered infinite slope does not necessarily occur at the impervious bottom of the hillslope soil, but may also occur at the interface between two soil layers. This result shows that a neglect of soil layer distribution could misestimate failure depth. Hence, soil layer distribution must be considered to reliably analyze infinite slope failure induced by rainfall.     

水-力耦合及干湿循环效应对浅层残积土斜坡稳定性的影响

降雨入渗过程中,土体吸力降低,体积明显改变。天然浅层土体长期受到季节性气候变化的影响,因此,开展水-力耦合及干湿交替对浅层残积土坡稳定性影响的数值分析,分析浅层土坡孔隙水压力、湿润锋及安全系数的时空演变规律,并对水-力耦合及干湿交替条件下的浅层土坡失稳破坏机制进行探讨显得尤为必要。研究结果表明：随着干湿循环次数的增加,水-力耦合分析下孔隙水压力以及湿润锋的迁移速度增加更快,边坡也更易失稳破坏;干湿交替初期,雨水入渗易引起地下水位上升,边坡可因正孔隙水压力的增加而失稳;干湿交替后期,湿润锋的快速推进加剧基质吸力迅速丧失及土体强度下降,边坡安全系数显著降低,发生失稳破坏的时间缩短。因此,可将湿润锋处的安全系数(局部最小值)作为控制边坡长期稳定性的临界值。     

A time-space based approach for mapping rainfall-induced shallow landslide hazard

A rainfall-induced shallow landslide is a major hazard in mountainous terrain, but a time-space based approach is still an unsettled issue for mapping rainfall-induced shallow landslide hazards. Rain induces a rise of the groundwater level and an increase in pore water pressure that results in slope failures. In this study, an integrated infinite slope analysis model has been developed to evaluate the influence of infiltration on surficial stability of slopes by the limit equilibrium method. Based on this new integrated infinite slope analysis model, a time-space based approach has been implemented to map the distributed landslide hazard in a GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and to evaluate the shallow slope failure induced by a particular rainfall event that accounts for the rainfall intensity and duration. The case study results in a comprehensive time-space landslide hazard map that illustrates the change of the safety factor and the depth of the wetting front over time.     

Transient modeling of regional rainfall-triggered shallow landslides

This study investigates the transient modeling of regional rainfall-triggered shallow landslides in unsaturated soil using the Richards equation. To model shallow landslides within a distributed regional-scale framework, infinite slope stability analysis coupled with the hydrological model with consideration of the fluctuation of time-dependent pore water pressure and the soil–water characteristic curve proposed by van Genuchten was developed. The validity of the proposed model is established through several test problems by comparing the numerical results with the analytical solutions. A new procedure to set up wide-range shallow landslide analysis and to integrate regional distribution variations for input data such as geology, groundwater level, hydrogeological characteristics, and rainfall intensity and duration was presented. The results obtained demonstrate that the computed distribution of the safety factor is consistent with the distribution of actual landslides. In addition, the fluctuation of pore water pressure in unsaturated soil dominates the stability of landslides during typhoons accompanied by heavy rainfall. The findings observed in this study are a fundamental contribution to environmental effects for landslides in areas with higher occurrence and vulnerability to extreme precipitation.

膨胀土边坡稳定分析方法研究

Bishop法等边坡稳定分析的经典方法用于分析膨胀土边坡时本身并无问题,只是由于计算条件的考虑不足,使得计算结果不能反映出膨胀土上的滑坡特点。在Bishop法的基础上,通过完善其计算条件,考虑了裂缝开展导致的土体强度降低、裂缝开展的深度、降雨时裂缝群中形成的渗流,以及可能的裂缝侧壁静水压力的作用等影响因素,完成了对膨胀土边坡稳定分析方法的改进。改进后的方法反映出裂缝对膨胀土边坡稳定性的影响,计算结果真实再现了浅层性、牵引性、长期性、平缓性和季节性等膨胀土边坡的滑坡特点。
