非均质软基上桶形基础承载性能有限元分析

作为海洋平台的基础部分,桶形基础不仅承受海洋平台结构及自身重量等竖向荷载的长期作用,而且往往还遭受波浪等所产生的水平荷载及力矩等其它荷载分量的作用。因此,确定软基上桶形基础在竖向荷载（V）、水平荷载（H）和力矩（M）等共同作用下的承载特性,建立其在复合加载模式下的破坏包络面,并进而依此评价海洋平台基础及地基的稳定性,是桶形基础设计与施工中的关键问题。在大型通用有限元分析软件ABAQUS平台上,采用基于Mises屈服准则的完全弹塑性本构模型,对横观各向异性软基上桶形基础的承载性能进行了三维弹塑性数值分析,探讨了软黏土不排水抗剪强度的各向异性对单个荷载和复合加载作用下桶形基础承载性能的影响。     

不同加载频率及循环应力比条件下舟山海相软黏土动力特性试验研究

不同地域的软黏土表现出不同的动力学特性,针对舟山地区海相软黏土,采用Wille动三轴仪开展了一系列不排水三轴试验,研究了不同加载频率及循环应力比对软黏土的动应力-应变-孔压及软化指数等的影响规律。结果表明：低频荷载的应力-应变滞回曲线对应的面积较大且曲线趋势更倾向于应变轴,随着循环次数的增加土体的软化程度明显增加(软化指数减少),且在高循环应力比下产生较大的累积塑性应变和残余动孔压;在低频较大循环振次和高频荷载作用下,不仅需要关注循环应力比CSR的影响,也需要进一步分别关注围压和轴向偏应力各自数值不同所导致的土体累积塑性应变、残余动孔压的变化;降低循环应力比可以显著减少不同频率荷载对软黏土地基动力特性的影响。此外,实验所测的累积塑性应变和残余动孔压分别采用相关修正模型拟合,取得了一致的拟合结果。该研究将为舟山海相软黏土的工程应用提供参考依据。     

考虑土结构性损伤的小应变模型

结合叠合小应变模型和结构性土的损伤理论,提出了可以考虑土的结构性损伤对小应变下刚度的影响的小应变模型。该模型可作为其他常规土体本构模型的数据接口模型,从而使其他常规本构模型能充分反映土体的小应变特性。通过与实验资料比较分析表明模型可以有效模拟结构性土体的小应变特性。     

一种新的土体动力本构模型

基于指数函数的有界性、函数曲线形状和构造土体动力本构模型的一般原则,把函数Y=e^x在（-∞,0]区间上的图像进行翻转、平移、放缩,从而构造出土体的动力本构模型的骨架曲线。在卸载和反向加载时,采用与骨架曲线相同的函数形式,并以前一次卸载开始点作为起点,以土体的极限应力水平作为渐近线,构造出土体动力本构模型的滞回曲线。在此基础上构造出适用于非对称循环荷载的指数形式土体动力本构模型（UE模型）。并用共振柱实验的结果检验了模型的有效性。UE模型具有四个特点：第一,适用于非对称循环荷载;第二,记忆量小;第三,卸载再加载滞回曲线自动满足Masing准则;第四,模型参数少,物理意义明确,可用常规试验确定。     

小应变硬化土模型参数的确定与敏感性分析

地下工程施工引起的土体扰动区可分为剧烈扰动区、扰动区、微扰动区和未扰动区。为全面反映土体在扰动下的应力路径和力学响应,必须考虑全应变范围的土体特性,尤其是小应变范围内的力学响应,因此对小应变硬化土本构模型关键参数(初始剪切模量和剪应变阀值)的确定方法进行介绍。开展上海典型软土的三轴固结排水剪切试验和固结试验研究,给出确定上海软土小应变硬化土模型(HSSmall)参数的方法,建议采用原位测试的方法确定土体的初始弹性模量。基于土单元数值模拟进行初始弹性模量和剪应变阀值的参数敏感性分析。随着初始弹性模量的增大,初始压缩曲线与卸载-再压缩曲线的斜率均增大。由于对应的回弹模量不变,初始弹性模量与回弹模量的差值增大,应变与偏应力试验曲线的回滞环宽度也随之增大。随着剪应变阀值的增大,初始压缩曲线和再压缩曲线的近似直线段增长,在同样剪应力情况下,土体的应变值减小,土体保持初始弹性模量刚度的区间增大。     

常用岩土本构模型的选择及对场地动力反应分析结果的影响

合理选择本构模型是土动力学问题数值模拟中的一项重要工作。利用PLAXIS 2D软件的土工实验模拟功能分别对4种常用的岩土本构模型——线弹性模型、摩尔库伦模型、土体硬化模型和小应变土体硬化模型在往复荷载下的理论滞回曲线进行了对比分析,并在此基础上研究了选择不同本构模型对自由场地震反应分析结果的影响以及不同本构模型中各参数的变化对场地动力计算结果的敏感性分析。研究结果为土动力学问题数值模拟中如何选择本构模型和合理判断数值分析结果提供了参考依据。     

基于OpenSees的桩-土-桥墩相互作用非线性数值分析模型

基于OpenSees数值分析平台,建立了群桩-土-桥墩非线性数值分析模型。模型中桩-土水平向相互作用和桩-土竖向相互作用、桩底-土竖向相互作用分别通过p-y、t-z与q-z零长度弹簧单元模拟。模型中同时考虑了群桩效应与纵筋在墩底的应变渗透和粘结滑移的影响。结合群桩基础拟静力试验结果,对数值模型的准确性进行了验证,在此基础上对土体参数特性对桩基滞回性能的影响规律进行了分析。结果表明:所建立的数值分析模型可对群桩基础滞回曲线和骨架曲线进行较为准确的模拟分析,验证了模型的可靠性。反复荷载作用下,前桩处土体的反应明显大于中桩处;土体由软黏土变为硬黏土时,墩顶侧向承载力与刚度显著增加,但土体的非线性反应减弱。     

小应变硬化模型(HSS)在Rayleigh波作用下场地响应分析中的应用

为研究冲击荷载或地震作用下产生的,以Rayleigh波为主的面波对浅层地表土体动力响应特征以及数值模拟中土层阻尼的设置方法,以厦门地区浅层的素填土及粉质黏土为研究对象,采用有限元动力分析,土体本构采用小应变硬化模型(HSS),利用模型本身的滞回环特性,输入变化的小应变参数,考察HSS模型的小应变参数对场地动力响应的影响,并与土体采用摩尔-库伦模型结合Rayleigh阻尼("MC+Rayleigh阻尼")的计算结果进行对比。研究表明:当采用带有滞回环的HSS模型时,波速随初始剪切模量Gref0的增大而增大,但振幅减小,残余变形量也有所减小;小应变参数γ0.7对波的影响较小;HSS模型能够给出残余变形量,而"MC+Rayleigh阻尼"由于本构模型为理想弹塑性模型,在卸载重加载条件下表现为纯弹性行为,无法反映出卸载重加载过程中塑性应变的积累及其累积阻尼效应;但HSS模型还不能够全面反映循环加载作用下塑性体积应变的累积,因此在考虑滞回阻尼的基础上,仍然建议借助Rayleigh阻尼来更加全面地模拟土体的实际阻尼特性。

土石坝（超）深厚覆盖层中的深埋细粒土难以完全挖除（换填）,其在地震作用下的动力变形特性和强度特性是科研设计人员关注的问题。本文进行某大型土石坝工程超深厚覆盖层地基中的深埋粉砂层土动力特性三轴试验,研究其在地震荷载作用下的动力变形与强度特性,并为大坝—地基系统动力分析和抗震设计提供基础资料。研究表明：试验土料最大动剪模量和平均有效应力在双对数坐标中呈良好的线性关系,不同围压力条件下的模量衰减（阻尼比增长）曲线可以采用参考剪应变的方式进行归一,可用试验确定特定围压力条件下的模量衰减（阻尼比增长）曲线外延推求任意围压力条件下的相应曲线;试验土料在地震荷载作用下的动强度特性主要受土体密度、固结条件和围压力条件等控制,当土体处在不等向固结状态时,不同动力破坏标准下确定的土体动强度特性参数差异较大。

针对巴准重载铁路高路堤,采用三维非线性有限元方法,建立了可考虑重载列车振动荷载作用的高路堤边坡稳定性分析的数值模型。通过引入强度折减系数法,分析了未加固和应用土工格栅加固的高路堤边坡的稳定性,据此考察了格栅长度与间距、边坡高度及路基上部荷载等因素对高路堤边坡稳定性的影响效应。数值模型中,路基土体采用莫尔—库伦弹塑性本构模拟,土工格栅选用线弹性本构模拟;通过计算ZK标准活载及等效土柱高度,换算得到路基上部荷载。研究表明：加固重载铁路高路堤时,土工格栅的应用限制了高路堤边坡的侧向滑动,有效地提高了高路堤边坡的稳定性;格栅增长、路堤高度降低能够提高高路堤边坡的稳定性,而格栅间距增大、路基上部荷载增加将降低高路堤边坡的稳定性。     

非对称交通荷载作用下拓宽路堤动力特性分析

针对山西省境内长期承受非对称交通荷载的公路拓宽路堤,采用FLAC~(3D)建立数值模型,土工格栅采用FLAC~(3D)内置土工格栅单元(geogrid)模拟,其余部分均采用实体单元,屈服准则采用Mohr-Coulomb准则。将交通荷载简化为半正弦波荷载,分析非对称交通荷载作用下不加筋和加筋两种工况下拓宽路堤的变形特性及稳定性,进而改变拓宽路堤部分填土参数、交通荷载幅值、频率和行车间隔等参数,分析其对加筋工况下拓宽路堤变形的影响。结果表明:非对称交通荷载作用下,设置土工格栅加筋对新、旧路堤变形的约束作用有限,但能提高路堤的整体稳定性;增大拓宽路堤填土的压缩模量和黏聚力,可减小新、旧路堤沉降差;增大交通荷载一侧幅值会引起新、旧路堤过大差异沉降;增大交通荷载频率和时间间隔,路堤沉降均逐渐减小,但沉降差保持不变。上述结论对受非对称交通荷载拓宽路堤的施工提供了一定的理论依据。     

Dynamic responses of coastal structures during earthquakes including sediment–sea–structure interaction

The effects of the interaction among sea water, sediment, backfill-soil and coastal structures (embankments) were included in the present study. The formulation is derived from fundamental theories in various fields, including marine hydrodynamics, flow in porous medium, and structural dynamics. The hybrid finite-difference and finite element methods were used in the analysis. The finite-difference method was used to calculate the nonlinear hydrodynamic pressures of sea water as well as the pore water in the sediment acting on the coastal embankment faces by seismic-wave actions. The fluid-filled solid mixture was used to model sediment and back-fill soil and the corresponding dynamic responses were also evaluated by finite difference method. The dynamic response of the coastal structures was calculated by finite element method. The numerical results are presented for various water depths and ground motion intensities. The significant dynamic forces on coastal structures were calculated during earthquakes and the possible sliding of the coastal embankment will occur and the special foundation treatment should be made.

Analytical seismic fragility functions for highway and railway embankments and cuts

A fundamental tool in seismic risk assessment of transportation systems is the fragility curve, which describes the probability that a structure will reach or exceed a certain damage state for a given ground motion intensity. Fragility curves are usually represented by two‐parameter (median and log‐standard deviation) cumulative lognormal distributions. In this paper, a numerical approach, in the spirit of the IDA, is applied for the development of fragility curves for highways and railways on embankments and in cuts due to seismic shaking. The response of the geo‐construction to increasing levels of seismic intensity is evaluated using a 2D nonlinear finite element model, with an elasto‐plastic criterion to simulate the soil behavior. A calibration procedure is followed in order to account for the dependency of both the stiffness and the damping to the soil strain level. The effect of soil conditions and ground motion characteristics on the response of the embankment and cut is taken into account considering different typical soil profiles and seismic input motions. This study will provide input for the assessment of the vulnerability of the road/railway network regarding the performance of the embankments and cuts; therefore, the level of damage is described in terms of the permanent ground displacement in these structures. The fragility curves are estimated based on the evolution of damage with increasing earthquake intensity, which is described by PGA. The proposed approach allows the evaluation of new fragility curves considering the distinctive features of the element's geometry, the input motion, and the soil properties as well as the associated uncertainties. A relationship between the computed permanent ground displacement on the surface of the embankment and the PGA in the free field is also suggested based on the results of the numerical analyses. Finally, the proposed fragility curves are compared with existing empirical data and the limitations of their applicability are outlined. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Model tests on XCC-piled embankment under dynamic train load of high-speed railways

Piled embankments, which offer many advantages, are increasingly popular in construction of high-speed railways in China. Although the performance of piled embankment under static loading is well-known, the behavior under the dynamic train load of a high-speed railway is not yet understood. In light of this, a heavily instrumented piled embankment model was set up, and a model test was carried out, in which a servo-hydraulic actuator outputting M-shaped waves was adopted to simulate the process of a running train. Earth pressure, settlement, strain in the geogrid and pile and excess pore water pressure were measured. The results show that the soil arching height under the dynamic train load of a high-speed railway is shorter than under static loading. The growth trend for accumulated settlement slowed down after long-term vibration although there was still a tendency for it to increase. Accumulated geogrid strain has an increasing tendency after long-term vibration. The closer the embankment edge, the greater the geogrid strain over the subsoil. Strains in the pile were smaller under dynamic train loads, and their distribution was different from that under static loading. At the same elevation, excess pore water pressure under the track slab was greater than that under the embankment shoulder.     

Seasonal differences in seismic responses of embankment on a sloping ground in permafrost regions

Because of its direct influence on the amount of unfrozen water and on the strength of intergranular ice in a frozen soil, temperature has a significant effect on all aspects of the mechanical behavior of the active layer in which temperature fluctuates above and below 0 °C. Hence seismic responses of engineering structures such as embankment on a sloping ground in permafrost regions exhibit obvious differences with seasonal alternation. To explore the distinctive seismic characteristics of a railway embankment on the sloping ground in permafrost regions, a coupled water-heat-dynamics model is built based on theories of heat transfer, soil moisture dynamics, frozen soil mechanics, soil dynamics, and so on. A well-monitored railway embankment on a sloping ground in Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is taken as an example to simulate seismic responses in four typical seasons in the 25th service year. The numerical results show that seismic acceleration, velocity and displacement responses are significantly different in four typical seasons, and the responses on October 15 are much higher among the four seasons. When the earthquake is over, there are still permanent differential deformations in the embankment and even severe damages on the left slope on October 15. Therefore, this position should be monitored closely and repaired timely to ensure safe operation. In addition, the numerical model and results may be a reference for maintenance, design and study on other embankments in permafrost regions.
