根据土体结构的应力及摩尔-库仑强度理论分析其局部稳定性。以土体内部任意曲面的剪应力积分值与抗剪强度积分值的比值为安全系数K,并认为|K-1.00|≤0.05为极限平衡状态。通过两个算例模拟了地基与均质边坡随外荷载增加,土体内部由局部达到极限状态发展成整体达到极限状态,最终失稳破坏的过程。结果表明此方法模拟土体结构渐进破坏过程是可行的。     

边坡地震稳定性分析探讨

传统的拟静力法和安全系数时程分析法在评价边坡地震稳定性时存在一定的局限性。在提出准确的评价边坡地震稳定性必需因素的基础上,建议对边坡地震稳定性分析方法重新进行分类。根据动力分析得到的边坡在地震作用下的破坏机制和破裂面的性质和位置,提出基于拉-剪破坏的动力时程分析法和强度折减动力分析法。第一种方法将FLAC计算得到破坏时刻的动应力施加到静力情况下边坡上,采用动力分析得到的拉-剪破裂面,结合极限平衡法求解边坡地震安全系数,是一种改进的动力有限元时程分析法;第二种方法考虑了拉-剪破坏的FLAC强度折减动力分析法,是完全动力的方法。最后通过算例分析验证了新方法的可行性,为边坡地震安全系数计算提供了一种新的思路。

强度折减法确定边坡稳定性系数比传统极限平衡方法优势明显,但是两种常用的强度折减法哪种更适合一直存在争议。本文针对某工程算例分别采用两种强度折减法进行了边坡稳定性系数计算,并把计算结果和传统极限平衡方法进行了对比,结果表明快速拉格朗日分析法更适合应用在边坡稳定性系数确定方面。该法的计算结果和传统计算方法极其接近,并可以克服传统方法人为指定滑动面的重大缺点。     

地震作用下双层土裂缝边坡稳定性分析

裂缝常存在于边坡表面，地震作用会大幅降低裂缝边坡稳定性。针对双层土裂缝边坡稳定性问题，定义上下土层分界处高度与边坡高度之比为深度系数以描述双层土的分布，基于极限分析上限定理，构建“点到点”离散运动学机构，并在此机构中引入一条垂直张拉裂缝，结合拟静力法和强度折减法建立能量平衡方程求解裂缝边坡临界高度和安全系数上限解。计算结果与传统上限法进行对比，验证离散运动学机构的有效性及其解的优越性，同时探究土体非均质性及深度系数对裂缝边坡稳定性以及裂缝深度和位置的影响规律。结果表明，地震作用会降低边坡稳定性；随着地震力增大，边坡临界滑动面逐渐加深，裂缝深度略微增大，裂缝位置逐渐远离坡面；对于具体的双层土边坡会存在一个特定的深度系数使边坡安全系数达到最值，同时裂缝会穿越至下层土且深度发生突增。     

基于全动力分析法的地震边坡与隧道稳定性分析

目前地震边坡和隧道稳定性分析方法尚有一些不尽如人意的地方,如地震边坡的破裂面假定为剪切破裂面,这与汶川地震边坡破坏现象不符;地震边坡稳定性分析采用时程分析法,假定在某一时刻加速度作用下,将其作为静力问题来计算边坡稳定安全系数,没有充分考虑加载的动力效应;同样,未考虑地震作用下隧洞围岩的拉破坏,对隧洞围岩破坏缺少动力稳定性标准,也不能充分考虑隧洞围岩与衬砌的动力效应。为此,基于有限元强度折减法,提出了一种完全的动力分析方法——强度折减动力分析法,计算中同时考虑剪切强度和抗拉强度参数的折减,并采用计算不收敛和位移突变综合判断边坡和隧道是否动力失稳破坏,以极限状态时的强度折减系数作为地震边坡和隧道的动力稳定系数,由此获得拉、剪组合破裂面与全动力稳定安全系数,充分考虑了动力效应。

Poro-mechanical coupling influences on potential for rainfall-induced shallow landslides in unsaturated soils

Rainfall-induced landslides are a common occurrence in terrain with steep topography and soils that have degradable strength. Rainfall infiltration into a partially saturated slope of infinite extent can lead to either a decrease or complete elimination of soil suction, compromising the slopes' stability. In this research the rainfall infiltration coupled with deformation of a partially saturated soil slope during rainfall infiltration is analyzed. The limit equilibrium conditions and the shear strength relationship of a partially saturated soil are employed to develop an analytical solution for calculating the stability of an infinite partially saturated slope due to rainfall infiltration. The analytical solutions are able to consider the influence of the coupled effects on the stability of the slope. The factors that affect the safety of a partially saturated slope of infinite extent are discussed. The results indicate that the poro-mechanical coupling of water infiltration and deformation has an important effect on the stability of the infinite unsaturated slope.     

Fluctuant bearing capacity of shallow foundations during earthquakes

A limit equilibrium method to compute both dynamic bearing capacity and earthquake-induced settlements of foundations on soils using a log spiral potential failure surface is presented in this paper. The method is limited to soil materials that conform to the Mohr–Coulomb criterion. Time-varying inertia forces can be applied directly to the building. The procedure is capable of estimating vertical displacements and foundation tilting by integrating the differential equation developed from equilibrium of acting and resisting moments. The reliability of the method is assessed by comparing calculated and observed permanent movements of foundations for the September 1985 Earthquake in the soft ground area of Mexico City. The position of the failure surface is obtained by a minimization process at every time increment during the shaking. Results show that when an earthquake occurs the potential failure surface, obtained from static load, moves upwards and its length shortens as the seismic accelerations increase, reducing the bearing capacity and thus increasing its seismic risk. In this paper, the influence of earthquake acceleration on the time-varying positions of the potential failure is shown graphically.     

含不同随机缺陷数目岩样的破坏过程、前兆及全部变形特征

利用拉格朗日元法模拟了平面应变单轴压缩条件下具有初始随机材料缺陷的岩石试样的破坏过程、前兆和宏观力学响应.利用若干FISH函数于岩样内部规定初始缺陷并计算全部变形特征.比密实岩石弱的缺陷在破坏之后经历理想塑性行为.密实岩石在破坏之后先是经历线性应变软化行为,然后是理想塑性行为.随着缺陷数目的增加,剪切带间距缩小;岩样的强度下降.在应变软化阶段,最大不平衡力的明显的突增是由于被剪切带切割的试样块体发生了沿剪切带方向的运动.试样内部的缺陷数目越少,应变软化阶段最大不平衡力的峰值越高.无论从单元破坏角度,还是从侧向应变-轴向应变曲线、体积应变-轴向应变曲线、计算得到的泊松比-轴向应变曲线角度,都得到了相同的结论（即,缺陷越多,破坏前兆越明显）.采用两条倾斜的扫描线对岩样最终的破坏形态进行了扫描,发现当扫描线间距等于半个至1个单元长度时,初始随机缺陷位置与岩样最终破坏形态具有很好的相关性.     

平面应变双轴压缩岩样剪应力异常及破坏过程模拟

利用FLAC,模拟了双轴压缩岩样的破坏过程及剪应力异常.在峰值强度之前及之后,岩石的本构模型分别取为线弹性及莫尔库仑剪破坏与拉破坏复合的应变软化模型.本文仅分析了3个具有较大应力降的周期的剪应力异常及塑性区分布.在第1及第2周期,剪破坏分别发生在试样的两侧及背景空区内部,前兆明显,地震属于断错型.在第3周期,背景空区之外的新剪切破裂带引起断错型地震;空区内部的老破裂带引起走滑型地震,未观测到前兆.在塑性区边缘,剪应力梯度较高.破裂带位置剪应力值反而较低.尽管在应力-应变曲线的软化阶段之前,不同单元的剪应力表现出千姿百态的复杂形态,但尚有规律可循.若几个单元都位于某条破裂带上,则剪应力的变化可能是同步的,或演变规律类似.鉴于原地复发地震类型可能不同,前兆将有差别.     

A practical numerical method for large strain liquefaction analysis of saturated soils

Accurate prediction of the liquefaction of saturated soils is based on strong coupling between the pore fluid phase and soil skeleton. A practical numerical method for large strain dynamic analysis of saturated soils is presented. The u–p formulation is used for the governing equations that describe the coupled problem in terms of soil skeleton displacement and excess pore pressure. A mixed finite element and finite difference scheme related to large strain analysis of saturated soils based on the updated Lagrangian method is given. The equilibrium equation of fluid-saturated soils is spatially discretized by the finite element method, whereas terms associated with excess pore pressure in the continuity equation are spatially discretized by the finite difference method. An effective cyclic elasto-plastic constitutive model is adopted to simulate the non-linear behavior of saturated soils under dynamic loading. Several numerical examples that include a saturated soil column and caisson-type quay wall are presented to verify the accuracy of the method and its usefulness and applicability to solutions of large strain liquefaction analysis of saturated soils in practical problems.

Influence of fines content on liquefied strength of silty sands

Critical state soil mechanics is a useful framework to understand sand behavior. In this paper, a relationship is developed for estimating undrained critical shear strength of sands based on the critical state framework. The relationship is validated by comparison with laboratory test results and sand liquefied strength from field liquefaction failure case histories. Using this relationship, the influence of fines content on undrained critical shear strength is studied for different combinations of effective stress and density. The parametric study indicates that depending on soil void ratio, effective stress, and the shape and mineralogy of the fine particles, undrained critical strength may increase, remain the same, or decrease as the amount of fines content increases. Both the susceptibility to liquefaction and the severity of strain-softening are affected by adding fines. It is suggested that the critical state parameter is inadequate for describing the behavior of liquefiable sands and sand shearing-compressibility should be taken into account in liquefaction analysis.

Experimental research on the development of residual strain in seasonal frozen soil under freezing-thawing and impact type traffic loads

Vehicle load is among the main factors affecting the deformation of subgrade soil.In this research study,the concept of impact type traffic load is introduced to investigate the effects of vehicle load based on the dynamic stress and displacement time histories acquired from seasonal frozen subgrade soils.Using freezing-thawing and dynamic triaxial tests and considering the amplitude and loading sequence of impact type traffic load,the residual deformation characteristics of subgrade soil under impact type traffic loads and freezing-thawing cycles is studied.It was found that under impact type traffic load,the residual deformation of soils increased sharply as the amplitude of impact type traffic load increased.It was also found that the increase in the amplitude of impact type traffic load led to the increase of residual deformation in a scale of power and exponential function.The amplitudes of impact type traffic load affect the development stress-strain path of the residual strain.After the soil experienced the proper amount of pre-vibration of the light load,residual deformation decreased by 15%.After freezing-thawing,the residual strain of soil increased as the amplitude of the impact type traffic loads increased.Also,when the amplification effect of freezing-thawing on the residual strain was basically stable,the residual deformation increased by about 10%.The peak impact type traffic load had a large effect on soil deformation after the freezing-thawing process,leading to the observation that of the earlier the peaks,the stronger the effect of freezing-thawing.After the soil was subjected to preloading with a small load,the influence of the freezing-thawing cycles gradually stabilized.The results may be useful in preventing and controlling the risk of subgrade soil failure when construction takes place spring thaw periods.
