双控动力固结法加固软粘土地基的应用研究

饱和软粘土含水率大、渗透性差,强夯处理时,超孔隙水压力不易消散,常规的排水措施效果不佳,而电渗降水已经被证明是一种有效的软粘土排水措施。本文提出了将电渗降水和强夯法相结合的地基处理方法——双控动力固结法,进行了双控动力固结法的处理试验,并与不降水强夯法和井点降水强夯法进行对比分析。结果表明,电渗法可迅速降低地下水位和地基土含水量,有效避免“弹簧土”的产生,提高单点夯最佳夯击能;可有效抑制夯后超孔隙水压力的急剧上升,并促进超孔隙水压力快速消散;在降水速度和土性改良方面,电渗降水优于井点降水。因此,应用双控动力固结法处理软粘土,有着很显著的加固效果。

循环荷载下饱和粘土强度等效计算探讨

饱和粘土在不排水循环荷载作用下强度会发生衰减,建立在粘土地基上的建筑物和填土道路在地震过程中有时会遭受破坏。本文在超固结粘土不排水强度计算的基础上,引入循环荷载作用损伤因子,提出循环荷载作用下饱和粘土强度计算方法以及参数的确定方法。同时,分析了循环荷载作用下再固结系数对粘土强度增长的影响。通过试验验证,所提出的方法是合理的。该方法为循环荷载作用下粘土地基的强度和稳定性预测提供有效的途径。     

环剪仪在超固结土残余强度分析中的应用

环剪仪是研究大剪切位移下土的抗剪强度特性的理想设备。对北京工业大学新引进的DTA-138型环剪仪进行了系统的介绍,并利用该仪器对Ip=12的粉质粘土和Ip=36的粘土进行了试验研究。试验结果表明：该环剪仪测试精度高且具有良好的稳定性,能够保证试验结果的准确性;剪切速率在0．1～10°／min范围内时,对粉质粘土和粘土的峰值强度及残余强度郝没有显著影响;超固结比对粉质粘土的峰值强度和残余强度以及粘土的残余强度几乎没有影响,而粘土的峰值强度随着超固结比的增大有增大的趋势,且相同试验条件下粘土的残余强度显著低于粉质粘土的残余强度。     

K_0固结饱和粘土三轴压缩与拉伸循环强度之间的关系

针对有应力反向与无应力反向两种循环应力条件,进行了k0固结饱和粘土不排水循环三轴压缩与拉伸强度试验。为了分析三轴压缩与三轴拉伸循环强度之间关系,依据3个围压下三轴压缩循环强度试验结果,确定了与不同循环破坏次数对应的Mohr-Coulomb循环强度指标。据此预测k0固结土样三轴拉伸循环强度,预测结果小于实测结果,当循环破坏次数为2 000时,两者之间相对偏差为13%左右。因此,可以依据Mohr-Coulomb强度理论建立k0固结饱和粘土不排水三轴压缩与拉伸循环强度之间的关系。     

固结时间对软粘土动剪切模量的影响

随着固结时间的增加,试样逐渐变硬的硬化效应使软粘土的动剪切模量增大;同时,随着固结时间的增加,试样高度和直径明显减小的尺寸效应,也使软粘土的动剪切模量受到显著的影响。通过软粘土自振柱试验,分析了固结时间对软粘土的最大动剪切模量、动剪切模量比和试样尺寸的影响;根据自振柱试验的基本原理,分析了试样尺寸的变化对软粘土动剪切模量的影响;结合试验得到的固结时间和试样尺寸的关系,分析了固结时间通过试样尺寸对软粘土动剪切模量的影响。     

渗透固结方法分类的探讨

在分析饱和软土地基不同排水固结处理方法的基础上,将饱和软土渗透固结按其作用机理的不同区分为压缩型固结和渗透力型固结;渗透力型固结又分为减压型和加压型两种形式,将真空预压归类于减压型渗透力固结。提出了超稳定渗流孔隙水压力的概念,得出了渗透力型固结的过程就是超稳定渗流孔隙水压力逐渐转化为有效应力的过程的结论;建立了渗透力型固结沉降计算的简化方法。并对渗透固结处理软土地基的若干问题进行了分析和讨论。     

软粘土固结变形微观分维指标分析

软粘土宏观性质与其微结构有着密切联系。对天津滨海新区软粘土先后进行了固结实验和扫描电镜实验,并对扫描图像进行处理,提取微观结构指标进行分析。结果显示,随着固结压力的增加,软粘土原有微观结构遭到强烈破坏,粘土粒度分维、颗粒表面起伏分维降低,颗粒分布分维增大。表现为颗粒粒径和表面起伏程度降低,颗粒排列出现明显的定向方向,密实度增大。     

频率对K_0固结饱和粘土动力特性影响的试验分析

通过循环三轴试验,研究了k0固结饱和粘土在0.5 Hz、0.1 Hz与0.01 Hz循环应力作用下,循环强度与土样破坏时最终累积孔压的变化。结果表明,当循环频率从0.1 Hz减少至0.01 Hz时,若循环应力作用下三轴土样发生应力反向,k0固结饱和粘土循环强度大约降低3%左右;若没有应力反向,且当循环破坏次数从10变化至1 000时,循环强度的降低不超过1%,若循环破坏次数大于1 000时,循环频率的改变对循环强度基本没有影响。对于有应力反向情况,循环频率减小将导致最终累积孔压比增加;对于无应力反向情况,循环频率改变对最终累积孔压比的影响并不显著。循环频率对最终累积孔压比的影响与其对循环强度的影响一致。     

基于Voronoi模型的饱和土建模机理研究

土颗粒是构成饱和地基的重要基础,因此无论用何种方法分析饱和地基时,均不能忽视土颗粒的物理性质。用传统方法计算时均假设土是均质、各向同性的,不考虑实际土颗粒的粒径和形状,与实际情况不符。本文采用了不同形核点数的不同不规则度的Voronoi网格划分模拟了实际土颗粒的结构,建立有限元模型并进行数值分析。计算结果表明,在不同时刻沿深度的孔压数值、有效应力分布和固结度等方面,采用该Voronoi网格划分的有限元模拟结果和太沙基常规模型的理论解进行对比,计算结果趋于一致,说明Voronoi图在对土体划分时是可行的,并且该模型在进行饱和土体一维固结的相关参数计算时具有很好的精度。     

Gassmann Modeling of Acoustic Properties of Sand-clay Mixtures

—The feasibility of modeling elastic properties of a fluid-saturated sand-clay mixture rock is analyzed by assuming that the rock is composed of macroscopic regions of sand and clay. The elastic properties of such a composite rock are computed using two alternative schemes.¶The first scheme, which we call the composite Gassmann (CG) scheme, uses Gassmann equations to compute elastic moduli of the saturated sand and clay from their respective dry moduli. The effective elastic moduli of the fluid-saturated composite rock are then computed by applying one of the mixing laws commonly used to estimate elastic properties of composite materials.¶In the second scheme which we call the Berryman-Milton scheme, the elastic moduli of the dry composite rock matrix are computed from the moduli of dry sand and clay matrices using the same composite mixing law used in the first scheme. Next, the saturated composite rock moduli are computed using the equations of Brown and Korringa, which, together with the expressions for the coefficients derived by Berryman and Milton, provide an extension of Gassmann equations to rocks with a heterogeneous solid matrix.¶For both schemes, the moduli of the dry homogeneous sand and clay matrices are assumed to obey the Krief’s velocity-porosity relationship. As a mixing law we use the self-consistent coherent potential approximation proposed by Berryman.¶The calculated dependence of compressional and shear velocities on porosity and clay content for a given set of parameters using the two schemes depends on the distribution of total porosity between the sand and clay regions. If the distribution of total porosity between sand and clay is relatively uniform, the predictions of the two schemes in the porosity range up to 0.3 are very similar to each other. For higher porosities and medium-to-large clay content the elastic moduli predicted by CG scheme are significantly higher than those predicted by the BM scheme.¶This difference is explained by the fact that the BM model predicts the fully relaxed moduli, wherein the fluid can move freely between sand and clay regions. In contrast, the CG scheme predicts the no-flow or unrelaxed moduli. Our analysis reveals that due to the extremely low permeability of clays, at seismic and higher frequencies the fluid has no time to move between sand and clay regions. Thus, the CG scheme is more appropriate for clay-rich rocks.     

Velocity–porosity relationships: Predictive velocity model for cemented sands composed of multiple mineral phases

Computer simulations are used to calculate the elastic properties of model cemented sandstones composed of two or more mineral phases. Two idealized models are considered – a grain‐overlap clay/quartz mix and a pore‐lining clay/quartz mix. Unlike experimental data, the numerical data exhibit little noise yet cover a wide range of quartz/cement ratios and porosities. The results of the computations are in good agreement with experimental data for clay‐bearing consolidated sandstones. The effective modulus of solid mineral mixtures is found to be relatively insensitive to microstructural detail. It is shown that the Hashin–Shtrikman average is a good estimate for the modulus of the solid mineral mixtures. The distribution of the cement phase is found to have little effect on the computed modulus–porosity relationships. Numerical data for dry and saturated states confirm that Gassmann's equations remain valid for porous materials composed of multiple solid constituents. As noted previously, the Krief relationship successfully describes the porosity dependence of the dry shear modulus, and a recent empirical relationship provides a good estimate for the dry‐rock Poisson's ratio. From the numerical computations, a new empirical model, which requires only a knowledge of system mineralogy, is proposed for the modulus–porosity relationship of isotropic dry or fluid‐saturated porous materials composed of multiple solid constituents. Comparisons with experimental data for clean and shaly sandstones and computations for more complex, three‐mineral (quartz/dolomite/clay) systems show good agreement with the proposed model over a very wide range of porosities.     

Weakly nonlinear approximation of periodic flow in phreatic aquifers

Published frequency-domain solutions of periodic flow in aquifers apply strictly to mathematically linear systems that arise when aquifer diffusivity is assumed constant in space and time. This assumption can be invalid in phreatic aquifers that experience spatiotemporal variation in the free surface position and consequent variation in saturated thickness. A weakly nonlinear approach to formulating and solving periodic flow problems in the frequency domain can be applied in situations where conventional linearized approximations break down. The weakly nonlinear equations provide robust approximations of the true nonlinear response and require much less computational effort and time to solve than the full nonlinear problem. Nondimensional rules of thumb are presented for choosing between linear, weakly nonlinear and nonlinear solution strategies.     

基于累积耗损能量的饱和粉土液化特性试验研究

饱和粉土场地在强地震作用下易发生液化现象。开展饱和粉土的循环三轴试验,以循环加载的累积耗损能量为指标,探讨黏粒含量、密实度、有效围压和循环应力比等因素对粉土液化特性的影响,试验结果表明:粉土液化所需的耗损能量随黏粒含量的增加呈先减小后增大的趋势,当黏粒含量约为8%时粉土的液化耗损能量最低;液化耗损能量随粉土密实程度的增大而逐渐增加,并随初始有效围压的增长而增加,但粉土的液化耗损能量与循环应力比之间的关系不明显。     

饱和黄土液化判别方法的两点发现

黄土液化实例多与现有可液化土地质年代规定不符。采用动三轴弯曲元试验设备对原状黄土饱和过程进行剪切波速跟踪测试,发现黄土浸水、结构先破坏再固结形成新的稳定结构的特点,证明经历过饱和的黄土已不能再视其为饱和前的地质年代。兰州马兰黄土中的黏粒有些是以黏土团块的形式存在,而黏土团块并不影响其他部分粉质土的液化,因此对于此类土应用黏粒含量进行液化判别时,应考虑将黏土团块不计入黏粒含量。     

考虑温度效应软黏土累积塑形应变模型及验证
